The Career Engineer: Work on Labor Day

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WVBT) - Since it's Labor Day, we thought it would be a great time to discuss working with the Career Engineer Francina Harrison.

Concept: You can't sell what you don't know. Ask yourself these questions: 

• What are three to five reasons someone should hire you?
• What are your strengths? What are your limitations?
• How can you help an employer increase their business?

Execution: Plan your work and work your plan

• Low tech: Phonebook, walk the street, job centers, friends and past employers, networking
• High tech: LinkedIn, Facebook, TwitterJobs, boutique and tTargeted Networking
• Online Job Search Engines: TCEJobStop, SimpleHired.com , Jobcentral.com Indeed.com , Snagajob.com , Dice.com , prjobforce.com

Connections: "It's not who you know, it's who knows you." 

• TCE 1st Tuesday (open to the public), 757 Career & Biz Meetup (Ashley's Bistro, 6: 30 p.m.)
• Get involved, get connected: (PTA, professional networks, social networks, TCE network)
