Rep. Sam Yingling Offers Job Seeker Workshop

State Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake, and DeVry University will help job seekers sharpen their skills and prepare to succeed in a competitive job market by hosting a Job Boot Camp at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 18 in the Grayslake Area Public Library.

"In Springfield, I’m working on ways to improve the business climate, strengthen the economy and give businesses the tools they need to get Illinois families back to work, but I’m also working on ways provide some immediate assistance to the men and women looking for jobs in our communities," said Yingling.

"During difficult economic times, job seekers want to be sure that everything from their resume to their interview technique is a reflection of all that they have to offer. This event is a great opportunity to brush up on job search skills, learn more about what employers are looking for and help make the most out of every available opportunity."

Career counselors from DeVry University will lead group discussions on job search strategies, interview techniques and networking opportunities as well as offer one-one-one resume evaluation. The event is free and open to the public.

"DeVry University’s Job Boot Camp is designed to provide job seekers with the techniques and strategies they need to successfully find employment," said Dr. Susan Friedberg, metro president at DeVry University’s Addison campus. "While our Career Services Department provides this training to students on a regular basis, DeVry University is grateful to Rep. Yingling for his partnership in delivering this valuable information to the residents of the 62nd District."

To reserve a seat at the Job Boot Camp, or for more information, contact Yingling’s full-time constituent service office at (847) 231-6262, or e-mail repsamyingling@gmail.com.
