JOB COACHING
Build Your Skills. Find Opportunities. Move Toward Stability.
At ECHO, we believe that long-term stability starts with opportunity. While emergency food and clothing assistance can help address an immediate crisis, employment can provide a pathway toward greater financial security and independence.
ECHO's Job Coaching and Back-to-Work programs help neighbors strengthen their employment skills, prepare for job opportunities, and connect with local employers.

Job Search & Resume Tips
Tips From the ECHO Job Coach Team
A strong job search starts with a strong application. Keep these tips in mind as you prepare your resume and apply for jobs.
Make Your Resume Work for You
Keep it concise. One page is generally ideal, especially when you are early in your career or applying for entry-level positions.
Lead with your strengths. Put your most relevant skills, experience, and qualifications in the top third of your resume.
Protect your privacy. For your safety, do not include your personal street address on your resume.
Keep it easy to read. Use a font size of at least 11 points and margins of at least 0.5 inches.
Customize your resume. Adjust your resume for each position to highlight the experience and skills most relevant to that specific job.
Search Smarter
Use Google and other job-search tools to find opportunities, but whenever possible, apply directly through the employer's official website.
Research the company before applying. Understanding the employer can help you make a stronger application and prepare for an interview.
Don't rely only on “Easy Apply.” Taking the extra step to apply directly through a company's website can help you establish a stronger connection with the employer.
Save job descriptions. Keep copies of job descriptions for positions you apply for so you can review the requirements and prepare for potential interviews.
