We held our third Success Skills Workshop
this past Saturday at the
Salvation Army. The Success
Coaches were Tim Brown, Laura Dietz, and Kareem George. We worked
on refining the "Elevator Speech" through some role-playing.
Laura and Kareem skillfully played the role of a
prospective contact. Also, we began examining some of the
important issues when filling out an application including work
history, education, personal references and criminal history.
Next week, all of our clients will return with a completed
application. Our coaches will carefully review those application
looking for "red flags." Then each client will then have the
opportunity to rewrite his for the "Master Application" to be
carried with them in their upcoming job search.
 
We had two clients
leave us this week for the right reasons. They both graduated
from the Work Therapy Program and both were subsequently hired.
We now have 12 and we are hoping for
a similar success story for all of them as we move through of
the Success Workshop series.
Next week's
coaches are Chuck Iverson, Gordon Bagne, Kareem George, Laura
Dietz, and Richard Hanki. In addition to reviewing the
applications, we will begin talking about interviewing skills.
