A couple of weeks ago I needed to attach a typing test to a job application for the City of Medford (no interview on that one) and overheard the receptionist talking on the phone to someone about classes. I asked them if they offered any classes and they do, but they said I had to attend an orientation. I attended the following week and signed up for classes (still haven't heard from anyone on that yet). I received a call from one of the counselors to verify I had a typing test (I had to type 30 WPM, I tested at 61 WPM) she also wanted me to come in and chat for a couple of minutes and sign some paperwork. I went in and she wanted me to attend the "Foundation Skills" workshops, so I was signed up and started this past Monday. It runs M-F, M-T (almost 2 weeks), 9-12. After Foundation Skills and another certification called "NCRC" is completed then I get my own headhunter and they find me a job! I was a little skeptical, but she assured me it would happen. Well, what did I have to lose? I have had absolutely no luck! I recently had 2 interviews and didn't make it. I am leaving my fate in their hands, hoping that something comes out of this.
I forgot to mention this is all free! The Job Council is funded by grants. The workshops are being held at Rogue Community College, the labs at being held at the Job Council's offices. So off I go to Medford every morning. It's like having a job!
