This program is a crucial first step for high school, college students, new graduates and career changing job seekers. Unfortunately, a diploma does not guarantee a job. Job seekers must know how to find the right job for them, how to network with the people who make the hiring decisions and how to wow employers with their skills. These life skills are seldom taught in school—and the lack of real world knowledge puts new job seekers at a disadvantage.

Marja Lee Freeman’s 17 years as “The Employment Lady” offers a real world view of how to conduct a successful job search. She has counseled countless job seekers thru the process of matching their skills and passions to the career of their dreams. Audiences learn that the job search begins before graduation, not after. They also learn it is never too early to start a successful job search.

The most qualified job applicant is not always the hiring manager’s first choice. In fact, the best qualified candidate is seldom the top choice. Why? Because book smarts doesn’t always translate into experience.
