Can someone help me with my resume?

Resume assistance is available on an individual or group basis.  It is best to make an appointment for this service.  Self-instructional resources are available to assist you in getting started in our resource centre.

Will you find me a job?

The YERC will not place you in a job.  We will refer you to job openings and make you aware of career opportunities.  It is your personal responsibility to apply and be offered the job.  We offer tips on good interviewing techniques and other helpful resource materials that will help you in your job search.

ACCESS

You can drop into the Centre any time you like; however, in order to ensure that an Employment Counsellor is available to assist you, it is recommended that you make an appointment ahead of time.
