4, 2014 (Halifax, NS) – Even though there’s snow on the ground many students across HRM are already starting to think about their summer employment plans.

The African Nova Scotian Affairs Integration Office at HRM recognizes there are many youth across the municipality who could use some tips or advice as they prepare for that all-important seasonal employment job interview.

In recognition of African Heritage Month, HRM is holding a series of free training workshops for youth of African descent.

If you’re wondering what to say in your resume or unsure what’s appropriate for a cover letter, this workshop is for you. Do you feel ill-prepared for a job interview? HRM human resource experts will be on hand to help ensure you are on top of your game when you apply for seasonal employment.

• Tuesday, Feb. 4 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (Captain William Spry Community Centre in Spryfield)
• Tuesday, Feb. 11 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (Sackville Library)
• Tuesday, Feb. 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. (George Dixon Centre in North End Halifax)

Each workshop will be identical in what is offered so there’s no need to attend all three.
