“Staff will be on hand to offer advice on topics such as CV writing and presentation, how to develop your social media skills to help with your jobsearch, help to bridge the gap between written and online applications, how, where and when to look for jobs and selling your skills to employers.

“The Job Club leaders play a major role in advising clients on how to become equipped with the skills necessary to sell themselves and apply for relevant job opportunities.

“They also provide places where people who are unemployed can get together to support each other find a job.
