Job Search
Following Breast CA and reconstruction I had 2 additional surgeries not related to the CA. I lost my job however, during the breast reconstruction period. I have not worked for 2 years now and need to get back to work. I have submitted numerous resumes. In the past I have never had an issue with getting a job. At this point, I feel like I need assistance.

Olivia –
We can help with suggesting approaches and
potential resources.
It would be helpful to know more about your
career track and profession.
Tell us a bit about your experience and your
skills.
Are you seeking full or part time work?
Are you working on your own or through a
staffing agency? Have you registered with a temporary agency?
Have you used our online tools or sought help
to ensure that you have a resume that will catch the reader’s eye and get you invited
for an interview?
In this economy, many candidates rely on their network to discover job leads. Make a list of all the people you could reach out to discuss potential opportunities with their employers.
Once we know a little more about you, we can
provide you with some ideas of how to jump start your job search.
Margot
