To kick your mind into shape and try to get you hired for the job of your choice, Career Services will offer a one-day intensive bootcamp for Sinclair graduates who seek success in preparing for their job search.
\nThe bootcamp is free and will be held on Wednesday, March 28, from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. All Sinclair graduates and possible graduates should register at apps.sinclair.edu\/bootcamp.
\n\u201cIt is to help all graduates be prepared for the job search,\u201d said Lindsay Tate, career services specialist. \u201cWe will be focused on resume writing, interviewing techniques and job searching.\u201d
\nDuring the bootcamp, Tate said there will also be a focus on handling rejection.
\n\u201cUnfortunately, rejection is so frequent in today\u2019s economy,\u201d she said. \u201cBut there are lots of signs that the economy is getting better, so we are really positive about that.\u201d
\nAttendees will have access to an online job board called JobLink that connects attendees with possible jobs that fit their criteria. Once you\u2019re in the JobLink database the resume can be uploaded and used for future job searches, Tate said.
\nParticipants will engage in interactive mock interviews and prepare drafts of resumes and cover letters. Tate said that the participants will also leave the bootcamp with a binder filled with a plethora of helpful information.
\n\u201cIt is always great to receive free professional help during a job search because job searching has changed in the last five to 10 years,\u201d Tate said. \u201cBut having somebody help you create an accurate skill section that is not vague and tailor your resume for the job is more beneficial than trying to navigate it on your own.\u201d
\nNetwork building and expanding your circle will be an important aspect of the bootcamp. By doing both, Tate said, it builds your confidence.
\n\u201cThe bootcamp allows you to network and expand your circle. It helps you start off with more confidence and start your job search on the right foot.\u201d
\nToward the end of the event, the financial aid office will be providing information about how to process and work with student loans after you graduate.
\n\u201cWe also want them to know that they can always come back. This isn\u2019t a one-time thing and you\u2019re done. I have helped numerous people who came in after a bootcamp,\u201d Tate said.\u201cWe are free service for graduates and community members. Even if you can\u2019t make the bootcamp, you are always welcome to come back and receive more help.\u201d
\nFor more information contact Tate at 512-2772. Graduates and possible graduates can also call Career Services to register for the bootcamp.
\nFree parking passes will be given out at the end of event.
\n\u201cI want the people who do come to learn really important skills and obtain employment,\u201d Tate said. \u201cThat is the end goal for all of us.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
