JEVS Career Strategies & JFCS Philadelphia Host Free Career Symposium

JEVS Career Strategies and Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Greater Philadelphia hosted a free half-day career symposium on April 10th. The event, Job Search Relaunch: From LinkedIn to Self-Care, was the first joint program between the two agencies, and the first time Career Strategies had offered an event of this kind in the Philadelphia suburbs. Over 50 participants attended. This effort, underwritten by the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, pooled the resources and talent the community has for the job search process -covering all aspects of a job search (resume writing, interview skills, LinkedIn) and the emotional stressors (budgeting, public benefits, stress reduction) that can hinder ones’ success during periods of unemployment.
