Presented by: Gail Spiel, Support Group Leader, MSW University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration

Get prepared now to start 2019 full throttle. This workshop will empower you to take on a proactive, structured, and goal-oriented job search. The workshop intends to provide tools to 1) plan and prepare 2) take a systematic approach and 3) use progress measurements to ensure the job search stays on-track. If approached correctly, a job search need not be intimidating! It just requires a few structured processes to keep the momentum going.

Gail did her undergraduate work at Occidental College, and she earned her masters degree in social work at the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration. Over the years, she has led parenting and addiction groups. She is excited to impart her social work knowledge and experience by offering workshops and facilitating discussions on a myriad of topics that can help job seekers.
