Job seekers workshop this Saturday at library

It’s been a tough time for people out of work in this economy.

To help out people who are looking for employment, the Pinal County Library District is joining forces with Central Arizona Human Resources Management (CAHRMA) to host a series of workshops for those who are out of work or who are looking for a better job.

A workshop will be held on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Maricopa Public Library, 41600 W. Smith-Enke Road.

“I am pleased we are able to offer this service for those people who are unemployed,” said Library Director Denise Keller. “Partnering with CAHRMA will allow us to offer the latest advice on what employers are looking for in this job market.”

The workshops will help participants on their job search by showing them where job opportunities are and how to market themselves to potential employers. The workshop will cover what is happening in today’s job market, how to develop a winning resume, writing relevant cover letters and preparing for an interview.

“We want to help Pinal County citizens get back to work,” Keller said. “Hopefully these workshops will help them get a job they will enjoy.”

The workshops will be held periodically throughout the next 12 months. For more information, call 520-866-6457.
