"By taking advantage of the no-charge workshops at our CareerCenters, job seekers can improve their chances at landing the position they want," said Governor Paul R. LePage. "CareerCenters can teach you not only how to improve your resume, but also show you new places to look for jobs and connect you with HR managers who provide the inside scoop on what employers are looking for in candidates. I encourage you to get the information you need to compete in today's job market."
