The Career Transitions Center of West Michigan is a service comprised
of volunteers that provides workshops, informative articles, and one-to-one coaching for area residents looking to hone their professional
skills and define a career plan. The workshop sites include area libraries.
Some examples of workshops available to attend are:
Job & Career Accelerator
The hiring professionals who volunteer lead the participants
in discovering powerful, free tools for creating résumés, writing effective cover
letters and informing career aspirations. Attendants will create an online
customized résumé, learn to target online searching for open
positions, access tutorials for computer skills, write cover letters and manage
your successful job search.
Behavioral Interviewing and Effective
Negotiating Strategies
In this class, current or potential professionals can learn
the essential techniques to a successful interview and negotiate terms of
employment.
The website offers articles that give valuable advice for interview preparation, such as identifying strengths, weaknesses, and work styles.
Strengths: The volunteers who work with Career Transitions Center
are all hiring professionals, so the coaching they offer in the workshops and individual sessions has
real-life value for the job seeker.
Weaknesses: The workshops are the most popular of the services the center offers, but one must attend the workshop to benefit. Materials covering the workshop agendas are not offered through the website.
