Our Galveston-based SER branch held a graduation and interview prep class and hiring event for our old and newly licensed warehouse and forklift clients! The event, held at the Texas City Workforce Solutions Center, began with a short graduation ceremony for our newly licensed forklift operator clients.
Following the graduation, the SER team wasted no time in beginning to prepare all of our clients for interviews with five employers hiring forklift operators on the spot. “Our goal here isn’t just training, but to get you hired and that’s what we’re here to do today,” said Deja King, SER Training Specialist, when addressing our clients. The SER team walked through interview etiquitte, how to phrase their history and resume gaps in a positive manner, and the importance of self-confidence; our clients are qualified, they’re an asset to employers, and we want to make sure they convey that when interviewing.
Clients were then given time to prepare amongst themselves or the option to go through a mock interview with members from our employment services team. Finally, the hiring event began and they had the opportunity to interview with Allied Universal, Spherion, Effex, Moody Gardens, and Meador Staffing.
We are so proud of all of the hardwork our clients put in to get to this day. We’re also thankful for the SER staff members that pulled this event together, Workforce Solutions for providing us with an event space, and our employers for taking the time to come interview our clients.
