1.0 EFT, Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours per week
Anticipated Start Date:  As soon as possible

OFE is seeking a driven, passionate self-starter to influence and energize our Job Resource Area, where our participants work their job search magic.

If you’re the right candidate…

• You’re a people-person who will act as a connector—connecting a job seeker to the right job lead, or a skilled participant to a fitting volunteer vacancy within OFE.  You will also connect participants to each other – building and strengthening a peer-support environment in our Job Resource Area.
• You possess confidence and proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, and an ability to troubleshoot the basics; unshakable patience in teaching beginner computer skills one-on-one is vital.
• You’re too energized to sit down much, but you’ll need to take some time each day for admin tasks that require attention to detail amidst interruptions. The mix of duties will require superior organizational and time-management chops.
• We’ll need to be confident that you know your job search stuff: Winnipeg labour market, community resources, resume and cover letter trends, online applications—all the things that participants will ask you about daily.
• You enjoy serving, supporting and equipping people.  You will help invigorate job seekers each day by providing a light breakfast and coffee in the morning and arranging access to our stock of snazzy interview clothing.  These are just two of the supports that add value to the OFE experience.
• We’ll be scoping you out for stellar communication skills.  Your written and oral communication will be on display daily.  We would be particularly pleased if you have experience in group facilitation of adult learners facing multiple barriers to employment.
