Are you ready?
Job Week is back! Every year in September, we offer a series of programs to jumpstart your job hunt and help you to become the best candidate for the job you want! This year, we're introducing three new topics--never covered at IPPL before! These are phone & skype interviews, discussing salaries, and mock interviews with hiring managers. We'll also have our friends from Goodwill Workforce in the lobby at the start of the week to answer any questions you may have about your employment situation or any step of the job hunting process.
 
Hope to see you at one of our programs next week!
