Are you looking for work but need some support? Then why not join us on our workshops which will help with all the stages you might need to go through to get yourself ready. If you are interested in covering all of these four workshops in one longer session of 4 ½ hours, please email us at passport@lutonacl.ac.uk to register your interest. Alternatively you can attend each workshop separately; just follow the links below.
Identifying Skills
Has it been a while since you last looked for work? Are you struggling to remember what you’re really good at? We will help you to recognise your strengths and skills from previous employment or personal activities.
Making the Most of Your CV
On average, recruiters will spend no more than 5-10 seconds looking at your CV, which is why it is so important that this contains all the key information they are looking for.
Completing an Application
So you know your skills, you have updated your CV and you have found the perfect job role? Next comes the application; it is vital that your application form is completed properly.
Interview Skills
Congratulations they called you back!
Now it’s time for an interview and we understand that an interview is something that can make us all nervous. Join us for some tips on preparing and presenting yourself for an interview.
