Free 6 week online job search program

Nov. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- SMART Recovery® Announces 6 Week Online Job Search Program

Mentor, Ohio – Being out of work can trigger a cascade of stress, anxiety, down moods, and painful inner conflicts, which can make sticking to recovery goals more challenging. With 14.8 million Americans out of work, these obstacles can only be expected to increase during the upcoming holiday season.

As a public service, SMART Recovery will present a free, internet-based discussion group to help people learn how to succeed in a job search under tough economic circumstances.  The program consists of building technical skills (i.e. creating an impactful resume) and developing psychological skills (i.e. communications, follow-through, and managing setbacks).  

The program leader is Dr. Bill Knaus, author of Fearless Job Hunting. The sessions are open to everyone and will take place for 6 consecutive Mondays, beginning December 6th and concluding on January 10th. Each session will start with a different theme, such as how to sustain realistic optimism in tough times. Following a discussion on the theme, each session is then open to all topics you wish to bring for discussion.

The meetings will be hosted in one of the SMART Recovery voice meeting rooms – The SMART Room – at noon eastern time, and each will last 30-45 minutes. To access the SMART Room, register for SMART Recovery Online via www.smartrecovery.org.  Click on the online activities drop down and select “register SMART Online”.  Once registered, you will access the message board and then select the “SMART Recovery Chat and Meeting Rooms” from the drop down menu.

SMART Recovery trusts this public service will be of assistance to many.
