What people are saying

"Terrific place, excellent support, feedback, and proven track record! I got my ideal job. I recommend the Job Finding Club and Internet Job Search to anyone who is pursuing a thorough job search.

Of all the places involved in helping unemployed people, this is one place that is really helpful and practical. I can say with confidence that everybody looking for work can benefit from this program."

"Having spent 30 years with the government, I attended numerous courses, workshops and seminars. I have no hesitation in saying that the overall course content, organization and presentation compares very favourably with the top 10% of all courses, seminars, and workshops I have attended. I would highly recommend this course for any person who connects to the Internet at some time or other, from management to beginner.

I found the instructors to be knowledgeable and patient. They have good presentation skills. Thank you again for the opportunity to attend. It was worthwhile."

"This workshop has helped me understand my skills, job search and the Internet. I have had the Internet on my computer at work for the last couple of years, and I now realize that I was only touching the very basics of it."
