Grow Well Inc. Completes Successful C.V. Workshop

Grow Well Inc., across from the R.C. Church in Gros Islet, offered a free three-day Workshop for youth and adults over the age of 15 on how to write a successful CV to improve their chances at securing a job.
The Workshop was held from Wednesday, August 11th to Friday, August 13th. A total of 21 individuals participated over the course of the three days. Workshop participants included persons ages 15 through 62 and while most were from around the Gros Islet District, a few also made the trip from south of Castries to be in attendance.
The first day was delivered in an interactive lecture style and days two and three were fully hands-on. Topics covered included: What is a CV? ; components of a CV/Resume; using effective power statements, adjectives, and verbs to entice the employer; selling yourself and self-advertising; using proper formatting to sell your CV; writing an efficient cover letter; building successful interview skills; and how to choose solid references.

 
 

Grow Well Inc. provided participants with access to the computer lab to type and print out their final products. All participants that turned in a presentable CV were awarded a certificate of completion for their hard work.
This was the first time Grow Well Inc. has offered the workshop series and is interested in continuing to provide similar opportunities in Business and Practical Skills with the help of additional qualified facilitators and more interested participants. Grow Well Inc. is also currently looking to expand their membership and introduce new programmes to people who have limited opportunities for development. Persons interested in helping to facilitate, take part in a workshop, or become a member of Grow Well Inc. can call 450 8179, 518 0567 or 285-8459
