Employment Workshops
Join us for workshops on resume writing, how to attend a job fair, and successful ways to market yourself.  These events provide powerful tools for succeeding in the complex marketplace of job seeking. Stop by The Center beginning January 26th from 10:00AM-12:00PM for the LGBT Job Seekers Weekly Workgroup. Workgroup participants will meet regularly for peer-peer discussions to share experiences / best practices and receive ongoing direction and advice from a career coach to help manage a productive job search. How to participate: (One-On-One drop-in is the best first step before attending the workgroup) Contact David Bach by e-mailing davidb@sfcenter.org or calling 415-865-5534 to confirm your space. Because the building is not open to the public until noon, attendees must be at The Center’s main door lobby at 9:45am sharp to gain admittance.
