GDOL to Host ‘Surviving a Layoff’ Online Chat on Wednesday, Jan. 25

The Georgia Department of Labor wants to help unemployed Georgians get back to work, and you can join the discussion through Patch.

On Wednesday, Jan. 25 at 11:30 a.m., Patch will carry the Department of Labor's live 90-minute online chat in which a panel of experts will provide information on dealing with unemployment, networking, locating financial and job search resources, preparing for job interviews, retooling and setting goals, conducting self-assessments, recognizing the dos and don’ts of job search, developing effective job search documents, understanding labor market information, and identifying retraining opportunities.

Questions may be submitted in advance on the Georgia Department of Labor Facebook page and by sending a message to the GDOL on Twitter. You can also comment live during the forum.
