NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, TX (KTRE) -
Workforce Solutions of Deep East Texas
is helping job seekers increase their chances of being hired with an internet
job search tools class.
Officials say the majority of
employers are posting their applications online and their goal is show those
looking for employment how to use technology to their advantage.
"Everybody is not familiar with
the computer and they don't know how to manipulate and get the answers in but
the pro's of it all you can put in as many as you can put in, in a days time,"
said Delois Flakes, Training Coordinator.
Training coordinator Delois Flakes
says with so many web sites available it's important that applicants stand out
and how they answer job questionnaires could make or break their chances.
"The employee wants to know that they
take their job as serious as they take it," said Flakes.
Workforce Solutions also offers
classes on resume building and interview skills.
Job seeker Keonna Maxie has taken
those classes and feels she is better prepared for her next job.
"Its something that will help me
go on in life and better," said Maxie.
Flakes hopes that her students leave with a
better idea of where they want their career to go and she says having direction
will make the process of searching through jobs and applying easier.
"Just know what you want to do,
know what you're really qualified for, don't just put in an application to be
putting in an application," said Flakes.
"I made a decision to go to job
corps and once I'm done with job core I'm going to go to college and make a
better life for my son," said Maxie.
Workforce Solutions hosts classes
Monday, Wednesday and Friday in Lufkin and on Tuesday and Thursday in Nacogdoches.
