Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
| |
Do I have to be on Employment Insurance
(EI) to access your services?
No. You do not need to be on Employment
Insurance or any other form of financial assistance to access
our services. Nor do you need to be referred by any government
service or community partner. Our job search services are available
to anyone who is legally entitled
to work
in Canada, and who is actively seeking employment.
|
|
| |
Is there a charge for the workshops?
Our job search workshops and resumé critique services are fully
funded by Service Canada, at no direct cost
to our
participants.
|
|
| |
What should I know before coming to a workshop?
Our workshops are designed to give
you the tools and the strategies to successfully and confidently
search for work in the most effective manner. In order to take
full advantage of all that we offer, it is important that you
have a clear
idea of
the type of work you are pursuing. For those who need assistance
with career decision making, we also offer the Getting Focused
and Personality Dimensions workshops.
|
|
| |
Do you offer career counselling
if I am not sure what I want to do?
Our office does not provide direct
career counselling. However, we do offer a workshop called "Getting
Focused" which is designed to provide you with the resources
to research and continue exploring your options at your own
pace. We may also refer you to other community
organizations for
further assistance.
|
|
| |
Are you an employment agency?
At People Plus Consulting Limited,
our mandate is to give you the tools and teach you the strategies
to empower you to effectively conduct a self-directed job
search.
We
are
not
an
employment
agency, nor do we negotiate employment for our participants.
|
|
| |
Do I have to make an appointment?
Because of the high demand for
our services, we do require pre-registration for all of our services
and workshops. This can be done over the telephone.
Our "SOS" program is available
for immediate answers to your time-sensitive questions
at (902) 444-3632.
|
|
| |
Will you write and format my resumé for me?
Word processing services are provided
for workshop participants only. We are unable to write/format
your resumé outside of our
regular services. However we will provide information to assist you
in developing an effective resumé by way of scheduled resumé
critiques.
|
|
| |
How do I register?
To register for a workshop, or to make an appointment for a resumé
critique, call us at (902) 453-6556. If the desired workshop
is fully booked, we will add your name to a waitlist;
should
someone
cancel or reschedule, we will call and offer you their place.
Currently,
we do not offer on-line registration for workshops or critique
appointments.
|
|
| |
Do I have to come in, or can I
just e-mail you my resumé?
The best and most comprehensive
way to receive information and feedback on your resume is to
come in for a half-hour appointment. However, if this is not
possible, our Facilitators will offer feedback to individuals
via email.
|
|
| |
I don't have time for a workshop.
Do you have any shorter services?
Every Wednesday, we make 30 minute appointments for a resumé critique
session. One of our Work-Search Facilitators will
give you immediate feedback and make suggestions as to how you
can improve your
resumé or cover letter.
