Job Seeker Services
Frequently Asked Questions
|
I am very pleased with the service that I received from the staff at BERC. The workshops and classes were all relevant and helpful to improving or acquiring the skills needed to get a position. I received individual assistance with resume development, upgraded computer skills and job search techniques. I also took advantage of the extensive library on nearly everything related to job hunting like resume writing, job hunt strategies, skill evaluation and other self-help books. - Darryl R. |
