World of work
No matter what age you are, each and everyone of us at some point in our lives will have to enter the world of work. It's a scary time but an incredibly exciting one.
We all know it's not easy to find a job. Especially after you leave school. You walk out of the school gates for the last time and then what? Sure, some may go to college but then you might not fancy that either. And even those who do go into Further Education or Apprenticeships, there will still be a time when you need a job. Without doubt. You will all face the same problems: Where do I start? Where do I look? How do I write a CV? Do I send a letter? What do I wear? What do I say in an interview? What happens once they offer me a job? What if I get bored? Can I just do some temporary work to earn money? These are all perfectly normal questions and ones which Imagine You Can, will help you answer.
Our tutors are experts in "finding jobs" with years of experience as recruitment consultants and know every single step from wanting a job to getting one! They have placed hundreds of people in jobs and know exactly what works and what doesn't.
Here's what it's all about:
- How to write a CV that will work, one that actually sells you to an employer and lets them know exactly how you will bring something they want and can use, to their business – whatever it is.
- Discuss where to find jobs and what to do next.
- Show you how interviews work and demonstrate how easy it really is. Don't worry if you're nervous, it isn't boot camp; we're here to help!
- Let you behind the scenes of what employers REALLY think about an interview or your CV
- Show you how the "little things" matter and could be the difference between you and someone else getting the job you want.
- One to one chats about YOU and the job YOU really want. You can get there. We'll show you why!
- Because every last one of you has a talent that you can earn money from. Yes, EVERYONE!
- Just think how proud you will be when you finally get the job you want. And you will. When you can tell your friends and family you just got "offered a job". When you can go shopping for whatever you want because YOU have earned it. When you can walk proudly down the street knowing you are contributing to your community and society because you gave it a real shot and believed in yourself. It's a great feeling.
- Our workshop is bags of fun with serious and not so serious bits. What we promise is that we will make you confident that you have the skills and ability to enter the world of work, whenever that is.
