Series of workshops for job seekers to be held

The state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations will hold a three-day series of live, interactive workshops to help job seekers learn from labor market experts and peers’ hacks, tips and insights on finding the right job.

“Today’s labor market has given workers more choice as the unemployment rate is relatively low with high employer demand,” Workforce Development Administrator Maricar Pilotin-Freitas said in a news release. “This Great Resignation period of job shuffling in Hawaii offers an historic opportunity for individuals to obtain better, more satisfying jobs and careers and the H.U.B. “knowledge-to-action” workshops were developed to facilitate these opportunities.”

The topics of the Helpful, Useful and Basic Tools (H.U.B.) workshops will include:

≤ Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. “Finding You — Digital Literacy, Connecting to Resources, Assessing You.”

≤ Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. “Finding the Right Job for You — Researching and Aligning Yourself to a Job-Career Organization.”

≤ Thursday, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. “Getting the Job — Applications, Resumes and Interviewing.”

Registration is available at job summit. even tb rite .com.

The summit is part of an ongoing, monthly series of workshops offered by the Workforce Development Division designed to facilitate job searching through live, interactive virtual workshops covering the basics of the internet, email, Zoom and Google Docs and Drive.
