This week's presenter: Caitlin Gillooly

Topic: Job Search Without Burning Out: Building a Sustainable Routine

Job searching is one of the most emotionally demanding things a person can do — and most advice out there ignores that completely. In this 90-minute session, workforce development professional and Cole Resource Center's Workforce Coordinator Caitlin Gillooly will share practical strategies for building a job search routine that is realistic, energizing, and sustainable. You'll leave with tools for protecting your mental health, managing rejection, and keeping your search moving — plus a brief introduction to the free programs and services available through the Cole Resource Center.
