You’re Hired! 
What key words must be on your resume?  How do employers choose candidates to interview from among the thousands of resumes they receive? What is the appropriate number of pages for your resume?  How do you answer those difficult interview questions? What is the “hidden job market”?  This workshop series will answer these questions and a lot more.

If you are looking to find a new job, thinking about changing careers, or planning to return to the workforce, you should attend this 3-session workshop series. You will build the skills and confidence needed to market yourself in this economy and highly competitive job market in order to land your next job. You will learn how to write an effective and winning resume and cover letter that will get you the interview. You will also learn how to develop and implement an effective job search strategy by understanding what happens behind the scenes when an employer is looking to fill a position.  And finally, you will prepare and practice for different types of interviews.

This informative and highly interactive workshop series is conducted by Gregg A. Knowles, a human resources professional with over 25 years of Fortune 500 experience.  His strong background in recruiting and talent acquisition and insider knowledge will help you hear the words….”You’re hired!”

Trent Schroyerwill discuss his book "Beyond Western Economics". The book argues that modern western economic culture emerges from a particular cultural history and that it is neither a globally universalizable or a sustainable culture. After the 'great recession', the ongoing dominance of Wall Street, and corporate monopolies over market systems, the down sides of this culture are becoming all too real in the west. Re-embedding markets within local/regional contexts so that they have an immediate reality to participants as social realities of producing and distributing surplus exists in many forms and places. A survey of alternative practices documents that we have many more options than are now recognized by the dominat types of western economics and opens up the possibility that spiritual traditions and movements can become catalyses for economic cultural transformation.
