Have you struggled to put together a solid résumé when your work history is spotty or even nonexistent? As a young person, at the beginning of your career, we can help you develop an impressive résumé that highlights your strengths by incorporating your current activities into marketable job skills.
Attend one of these free programs for ages 14 - 21, and Pikes Peak Workforce Center will teach you the words to use on your résumé that give it POWER, while being aware of what you should and shouldn't include. The application is the first step in your job search. Companies are using job applications more than ever to weed out candidates. A great application is key to getting call backs for job interviews. Make sure your information reaches the decision makers!
