Description
"CAREER EXPLORATION: Clients focus on identifying skills and values acquired through previous employment, education, entrepreneurial, volunteer, and life experiences that they can call upon to meet the needs of the job(s) they are interested in. They identify goals and develop action plans for success. ESSENTIAL JOB DOCUMENTS: Clients put together a detailed master application, eliminating the stress associated with completing online job applications. The master application also ensures that the resume is aligned with the clientâs job choice. Additionally, each woman meets with a staff member or volunteer for a two-hour resume review. INTERVIEW STRATEGIES & MOCK INTERVIEWS: Clients participate in mock interviews led by human resource professionals, hiring managers, and other business professionals who serve as WEN volunteers. ASSESSMENT & CASE MANAGEMENT: Clients meet with a case manager to discuss personal goals and social concerns (e.g. housing, food, childcare, transportation, and physical/mental health). Case managers assess the client's needs and help them access community resources."
