United Way of Northern New Jersey is partnering with Idealist, one of the most popular online nonprofit job resources, to offer free career workshops for local job seekers! Join us to learn about what it takes to enter the world of nonprofits. All sessions will be held at United Way’s Montclair office at 60 South Fullerton Avenue. Space is limited! Reserve your spot by emailing Durelle.McPherson@UnitedWayNNJ.org or calling 973.993.1160, x110.

SESSION ONE: SEPTEMBER 28

10am to noon

Reboot Your Résumé: Tailor your résumé for the job you want

This interactive program is not a "Résumé 101" class; rather, it helps job seekers hone in on the changes they can make to their résumé that will yield better results -- specifically as it pertains to nonprofits. Participants will pair up to review each other's résumés and give feedback based on the concepts learned during the overview.

1pm to 3pm

Keeping Your Confidence While Job Searching

Taking a break from job search activities to focus on yourself and your well-being is something many job seekers opt not to do. These tools and techniques will give you a more holistic view of yourself and help you understand how your outlook, emotions, and physical health can be affecting your search – and what to do about it!

SESSION TWO: OCTOBER 5

10am to 11am

Building A Targeted Employer List

What if reading job listing after job listing is not the best way to go about your job search? If you're interested in a mission-based career, it might make more sense to focus on the organizations you're interested in, rather than job titles. Building a list of employers that you are interested in and passionate about can really take your job search in a different direction. Learn how!

11:30am to 1pm

Getting a Job in the Nonprofit Sector

What are some of the key skills and characteristics that nonprofit hiring managers seek, and how do you illustrate that you possess them? This workshop can also address key questions to ask when looking to transition to the nonprofit sector.
