Being successful throughout the job application process requires students to posses a range of skills. From creating an outstanding cover letter to a professional resume and impressive interview, we at Second Strike are seeking to provide the students of your school with a competitive edge. In today’s uncertain economic climate the search for permanent and casual positions is far more difficult. Therefore, using our team of professional trainers would be a step you could take to make this process easier for your students.
The course is premised upon student interaction and will encourage students to be as involved as possible. Furthermore, each student will gain valuable experience and feedback from the one on one interview with a crew member that will be conducted throughout the session. The benefit of these interviews is that the students will be interviewed by someone they are not familiar with and in a professional environment allowing them to be as realistic as possible. In addition, each participant will be provided with a free resource kit normally valued at $7.50.
