Re-Entering the Job Market: Self-Marketing & Résumé Writing

Been unceremoniously ousted from your job? Latest casualty of ‘Last In, First Out’ syndrome? Suffering from a recession-era retrenchment? Massive dent to your ego notwithstanding, a retrenchment can mean huge stress and even family trauma, on top of the urgent need to find yourself another job. A nicer job. A better-paying job.

But you probably haven’t gone through the job-seeking process in a while, much less given thought to your recruitment prospects. And if you’ve been busy, you definitely haven’t kept your CV updated. So you don’t know what ‘they’ are currently wanting to know, and in what format. This half-day workshop should be your next step.

Re-Entering the Job Market: Course Overview

Sensitive and outcomes-based, this course is focused not just on the résumé, but on the art of self-marketing. Ideal for the recently retrenched, those who’ve left the workplace for a while to travel or have a family, or even those thinking of applying for an internship or vacation programme, the programme centres on giving you:

  • the ability to re-enter the job market with a brand (Brand ‘You’);
  • a clear sense of your personal strengths and career goals;
  • a good idea of what you like and what personality type you have;
  • a good reflection of your true value and what you’re worth;
  • the skills to be (or pretend to be) a shameless self-promoter;
  • a batch of alternative career ideas (like freelancing, for one); and
  • a top CV or résumé template, in print and electronic form.

The latter, a core focus of the CV-writing training, represents the generally accepted standard for writing your own resume, and contains explanations and guidelines for each section.

Please note: final course content may deviate from that described above.
