Moray group formed to boost job prospects

A new club for job-seekers is getting underway at Elgin Library.

A new club for Moray job-seekers will be officially launched at Elgin Library next week.

The ‘Work Club’, which will meet in the library each Thursday, is geared towards providing people in Moray with opportunities to meet others searching for work.

It is also aimed at helping people build new contacts, share job-hunting experiences, and obtain advice on interview techniques, CVs and potential volunteering opportunities.

A spokesperson for Moray Libraries, who set up the Elgin Library Work Club, said: "Research shows that the best way to find another job is through friends, family or social networks, which is why it is so vital to have a Work Club in this area.

"During every session we will help people to look for work by swapping ideas and talking to guest speakers, including people from local businesses, about opportunities in the area."

The group will meet in the library from 2pm-4pm each Thursday. More information is available by phoning  01343 562603.
