This program is a unique combination of Toastmasters and job search because it focuses on job search presentation skills which are frequently the reasons many job seekers are not hired!

This program is designed to develop critical job search presentation skills. It is delivered in eight, three-hour sessions (usually two sessions per week) over a period of one month. Each session is composed of 1.5 hours of instruction (in the modules listed below) followed by 1.5 hours of mock interviews.

Mr. Joe Jones will be going over an overview of this program within one hour for all the attendees.

1. Discovering Your Work Focus (identify a specific type of work as your focus during the class)

2. Job Search Orientation (unemployment/employment cycles, stress management, anxiety reduction)
