Job seekers offered tips at 'Crash Course'

In January, the Huntley Area Public Library initiated a Job Assistance Station to help job seekers find employment. Because of a positive response to the station, the library has added additional training opportunities for those in search of employment. The courses are free, but registration is required.

"The Job Searchers' Crash Course" will be from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday, March 30. Registration is now open. The course also will be offered from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 27; registration will begin April 12.

The course will focus on business e-mail, resume and cover letter basics, researching career options, searching online job sites, and filling out online job applications.

"How to Create the Perfect Cover Letter" will be offered from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, April 29. Register beginning April 7.

Human resource management consultant Tom Hovany will show you how to create cover letters that will get results.
