Finding a good job is highly competitive. Many people applying for the same job are all qualified, but being qualified is often not enough. You have to impress potential employers that you’re the kind of person they’re looking for – the Prepared Person – the person who can hit the job running. ETC has an extensive network of employment and training specialists to work with you face-to-face to enhance your skills to better meet the needs of businesses. We’ll help you become the person businesses want to hire. Because our goal is simple: Everybody Works. RESOURCE ROOM: All the technology you need. Free Many job seekers feel that our resource room is one of the most
important benefits we offer at ETC.
You can have unlimited access to these resources during business
hours at no charge, not even for business-related long distance phone
calls. This ensures that you’ll have state-of-the-art tools
to create professional-looking materials, access a wide variety of
online job postings, and contact potential employers. You’ll
also save money at a time when that’s critically important.
RESUME DEVELOPMENT: Help in creating professional resumes Your resume is a critical sales tool. It is often the first impression an employer has of you so how it looks is almost as important as what it says. Our network of employment and training specialists will use their knowledge and the most advanced resume software to help you create a resume that will get an employer’s attention and effectively sell your qualifications. This will make your resume a key part of your job-searching plan. Even if you think your current resume is good – and it very well may be – the specialists at ETC can usually polish it a bit more to make it even better. SKILLS TRAINING: Upgrade your skills for a better job There are many reasons why you might choose to upgrade your skills. You may be young, new to the job market, and you’re hoping for something better than a minimum wage job. You may want to change jobs and need new skills to qualify. You may want to improve your performance in the job you now have. Whatever the reason, ETC can help:
MENTORING: Employment specialists will help guide your job search ETC is not a temp agency. Yes, you can come in, pull a job off our job board, and go home, but that’s not making the best use of the knowledge and resources we offer. We’re dedicated to getting you a good job with career potential. Finding a good job is very competitive. We want you to be better than your competition, not only in you skill level, but also in the way you present yourself. So our network of employment specialists will mentor you in:
NETWORKING: Get a little help from your friends People are often embarrassed about being out of work, so they don’t talk about it much. That’s natural. But the fact is that most people have not lost their jobs because of anything they did. They’re usually out of work because of company downsizing, reorganization, or relocation. You need to talk about it with everyone in your network. Oh, you didn’t know you had a network. Well, you do. Your family. Friends. Neighbors. Doctors. Your priest, minister, or rabbi. The woman who does your nails. The guy who cuts your hair. A network is simply people other than you. People who know other people who might know someone who has a job opening. In other words, networking is not a word to be afraid of. At ETC we’ll help you expand your network and make it more effective. You can be part of one of our many job clubs where you can share job-hunting tips with people just like you. You can attend business open houses at ETC where you can mingle in a relaxed atmosphere with human resource people from local companies. We also have a job board with hundreds of good local jobs. And you can access the State of Ohio’s job matching system. But networking is usually the most effective way to get a job. And once people try it, they usually find out it’s also enjoyable.
