Teaching Modern Job Search Strategies

With new recruiting technologies, increasingly selective hiring practices, and the prevalence of remote work, it's clear that job searching has fundamentally changed over the years. Yet outdated and ineffective job search methods persist. Career educators and workforce development professionals must be equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques to help learners navigate a modern, competitive job search landscape.

This course provides a structured, practical approach to helping learners develop the skills needed to execute an effective job search strategy while building resilience in the process.
