Hot Jobs Bulletin

Immediate personal assistance from Women At Work
P
made the difference
atrice had been looking for a job
for several months after being
laid off from her Administrative
Assistant position. Her experience
was like many, when time after
time she sent out resumes and did not receive
a response. She was becoming disillusioned
and wondered if her resume was even being
reviewed. Her qualifications and experience
for the Administrative Assistant positions for
which she replied were well noted.
Patrice received the weekly email of the
Hot Jobs Bulletin that provided a listing of
job announcements received at Women At
Work. One job announcement peaked her
interest. Patrice was confident that she was
well-qualified for the position at a non-profit
cultural center. She had to try something
different. She immediately went to Women At
Work to obtain a full job description provided
by the local employer so that she could submit
her resume.
Following up on advice she had been
given, Patrice didn’t stop there. She called
the employer to confirm receipt of her resume
and was quite surprised to speak directly with
a representative in Human Resources. The
conversation went so well that she was invited
to interview the same week. With one solid
interview she received an offer!
Patrice began her job the following week
but took time to visit us to share the exciting
news with much appreciation for Women At
Work. She said “it was the Hot Jobs bulletin
that got me the job” and further explained
“Because I was able to call Women At Work
and speak to someone about the details of
New Evening
Classes Offered...Page 4
The Brighton Difference...Page 5

the job, I was able to apply quickly and that
helped me get the job.” She is enjoying her
new position and has recommended Women
At Work to her friends hoping that they find
success in their job search as well.
In today’s employment market,
clients are often reminded that using all
available resources in the job search increases
the potential for securing employment. Many
are using varied resources at Women At Work
such as computer classes, drop-in job seeker
support groups, researching employers of
choice, networking, and using the Hot Jobs
Bulletin to get weekly job announcements.

employee they think
of Women At Work. Why?
Because over the years we
have built strong relationships
with them. That’s one reason
we receive over 100 job
notices per week. These jobs
come to us by mail, fax, email
and even by phone.
Once received, the job
announcements are scanned
and placed on our internal
data base, accessible on the
computers in the resource
center. The paper copies of
the job announcements are
also placed into the notebooks
in the job room at the Center.
All of our jobs are listed by
category to make your job
search easier. For the daily
visitor’s fee you can spend the
entire day at our comfortable
center, using our convenient
resources both the job books
and the computers, to look for
and apply for jobs.
Women At Work recommends
you have your resumes and
cover letters on a flash drive
to make the job application
a simple process. For
your convenience you may
purchase a flash drive from
Women At Work; it is pre-
loaded with a template of a
cover letter and resume for only
$12.00. This includes two
examples each of a functional
and chronological resume.
