One of the most frustrating undertakings must be looking for work. It is also one of the most universal banes of living in western society. Whether you are an employee or are self employed, at some point you have to look for work.
This is made more difficult because very few of us get any real instruction on how to look for work. One of the reasons I took my schooling from a small private school, is the support for a job search. Jeanine is great. She has had a very diverse career, and for me at least, she gives some very good insights.
When Office Depot pulled out of Canada, I was a little unprepared. My resume was not up to scratch, and did not really represent me. In fact, when I went to talk to an employment counsellor, I was told outright that it was a poor resume. OK, so how do I improve it? That is where someone like Jeanine is invaluable.
