We are not born knowing how to find a job. As with all worthwhile activities, learning
and practice are required to become proficient.
When I was doing research for my dissertation, I studied the job search
seminars being conducted by the Texas Workforce Commission. I found that individuals who attended the
seminars obtained jobs faster than others.
In addition, measures of locus of control and life satisfaction improved
after training.
This past week I contacted the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) office
in Richardson, Texas, and was pleased to hear that the job search seminars are
continuing with a dedicated and experienced facilitator. I am sure that such seminars are conducted at
TWC offices throughout Texas and at similar state organizations throughout the U.S.
Since such job search training is being conducted at many churches
and civil organizations, I encourage all unemployed readers of this blog to
take advantage of this type of training for little or no charge.
Please comment in this blog or email me at glynjordan@gmail.com if you have attended job
search training and found it beneficial.
Thanks!
Glyn
