Most people think of Labor Day as the last day of summer fun… no more white after today…last day for barbeques and outside events before winter and the holidays.

For me, of course I think of family and get togethers, but since I am in the business of helping people end their job search frustrations, Labor Day makes me think of what I can do different to help people find their next job.  So next Tuesday, I will be doing a free event in conjunction with the Hollywood Junior Chamber of Commerce.

An event to help you with your resume, interviewing, networking, and dressing for success! So, if you are in this situation, come out on Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at the Hollywood Jaycee Hall 2930 Hollywood Blvd, on the SW corner of 95 and Hollywood Blvd at 1pm.  We will be doing all kinds of workshops until about 4pm.  Then at 5:30pm, join the Hollywood Jaycees for their monthly meeting and network! Find out how you can get involved!

Also, we will be doing a PROFESSIONAL CLOTHING EXCHANGE!  Yes, bring in your professional clothes that you would like to trade for something new.  All item left will be donated to Women in Distress and Broward Outreach.

Happy Labor Day!

September is International Update Your Resume Month!

Since most careers require a resume in order to gain employment, it’s important that job seekers take a proactive approach in order to be ready for any and all opportunities that crop up. Too often people try to write a resume at the last minute, which is the worst time to prepare a document that needs to be perfect. A well-crafted, winning resume takes time and research, and Update Your Resume Month is a perfect reminder to be prepared for new opportunities.

Today, September 1, at 1pm, I will be doing a Free teleseminar to answer your pressing resume questions. Sign up at www.askvioletnow.com

I will give you tips and all month long I will do weekly teleseminars on different aspects on resumes.  If you are in the South Florida area…I will also be doing various workshops and hosting events in Broward county.  One will be Tuesday, September 14 at 6:30pm for the Hollywood Junior Chamber of Commerce! 2930 Hollywood Blvd. on the SW corner of 95 and Hollywood Blvd.  You can also learn about the Hollywood Jaycees too!

Bring your resume and a notepad. You will be able to get valuable information, network, and have your resume reviewed!

Happy International Update Your Resume Month!
