How to find Your Perfect Job!

Monday, January 30th, 2017

Ottawa Public Library - Emerald Plaza Branch 

1547 Merivale Road, 

6:30-8:00 pm

Do you spend countless hours firing off job applications, only to get little or no response?

Do you carefully tailor your CV for each job posting, and still have had only limited success?

Does your job search ultimately lead to nagging doubts about whether you're really any good at all, and whether you’ll ever work again, resulting in self-doubt and despair?

Join Career Reboot Group in welcoming
Tim Ragan from Career Constructors
on Monday January 30th (6:30 - 8:00 pm) 
and learn what actions DO and DON’T work
in making you more attractive to future employers.

In setting the stage for your success, he’ll show you how the vast-majority of job search actions you’re taking are actually counter-productive to your success, and destroying your own confidence.

Tim will present you with a dramatically better way that builds your confidence, knowledge, and ultimately will lead you to your perfect job.

Are you ready to take action?
