Motivation: Start Small

You don't have to solve your entire career situation today.

Update one section of your resume. Apply for one job. Research one occupation. Make one phone call.

One useful step is still progress.

Skills Are More Than Job Titles

Don't limit your job search to the exact title you've held before.

A former cashier may have customer-service, cash-handling and problem-solving skills. A warehouse worker may have inventory, equipment and logistics experience. A restaurant worker may have communication, teamwork and time-management skills.

Think skills—not just titles.

Employers: Think Beyond the Resume

A resume is only one piece of the hiring puzzle.

Skills can be developed. Experience can come from different places. A candidate may have abilities that aren't obvious from a job title.

Consider what the person needs to be successful—and which skills you can teach. Also consider connecting with our Apprenticeship team who can help you design a program to teach the skills you need most!
