Interviewing Skills -- a Jobs Program at the Fairfield Public Library

Don’t wait until you have an interview to practice and prepare!  A career counselor from the Connecticut Department of Labor will help assess your ability to ask and answer common interview questions and discuss tools and techniques you can use to improve your interview style.  Sharpen your skills at this program on Monday, October 21 at 10:00 am in the Rotary Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road.  Registration is required.

Additional Jobs 2013 programs scheduled this fall include: Advanced Resumes, November 4, 10:00 am; and Over 40 and Looking for Work, December 2, 10:00 am.

Since January of 2013, 76 people who attended the Jobs series programs have reported they have found employment.
