Job Search Clubs exist! And Yes! They are still an effective way to unite job seekers, break isolation and share the trials and tribulations of searching for that next career opportunity. The reality of today’s market has left some feeling alone and overwhelmed that those interview rejections or unanswered applications have somehow become personal. So, what can one do to break the monotony and sometimes stagnant routine of seeking employment?

Why not consider Laval’s Groupe Priorité Travail Job Search Club? This interactive group service has been helping Anglophone job seekers for over 20 years come together to learn, stay motivated, network and above all, to offer support and advice for all aspects of what a job search involves. Our interactive group workshops help participants fine tune their technics and connect with other job seekers. With the vast population turning to those ever-so-popular job websites such as Indeed or Jobilico, as well as creating professional profiles, the focus has now turned to finding exactly how to stand out—to be recognized in a sea of qualified candidates. Diversity in job-seeking technics plays a big role in furthering our candidacy.

Being prepared, consistently applying and having a positive attitude are considered key elements to a successful job search. Past participants often say that following the club gave them structure and accountability for their daily actions. There is undeniable proof that persistence and perseverance can go a long way. Take time to study the market, analyze job offers and find companies of interest; these might help you take that first step forward. If you are asking yourself how many hours should I put towards my job search? Can I call employers? What should I put in my resumé? Do I have to do a cover letter? And how do I prepare myself for an interview? Then maybe our job search club would be an interesting option to consider. Oh, did I mention it is prepaid and available for individuals who are actively seeking employment?!

To become a participant, we ask that you be available to attend weekly group workshops, that you have a job objective or objectives, that you are relatively comfortable on a computer and that you are interested in participating in a group dynamic. Groups range from 3-6 participants, who attend two workshops per week. Each participant has access to individual counselling. 

Our club has adapted its activities to reflect non-working individuals’ needs and lifestyles. Come challenge yourself and learn to put your best foot forward in a proactive, motivating and learning environment. 

A job search is temporary for most; however, job search tools and techniques can serve us throughout our professional lifetime.
