Goodwill hosts free August webinar series for job seekers

From Goodwill Industries of Central Florida

Throughout the month of August, Goodwill Industries of Central Florida will host a free webinar series for local job seekers. An extension of the nonprofit’s job connection services, the virtual presentations will provide assistance with interview preparation, employment search techniques, exploring career changes and networking.

“With more than 3.16 million people in Florida applying for unemployment benefits since March, Goodwill’s job connection services are more important than ever,” said Kim Praniewicz, VP of marketing and mission advancement for Goodwill. “Our employment specialists are working to close this gap by meeting virtually with job seekers to update resumes, practice for interviews and apply for openings online.”
