KNOW YOUR CREDIT AND HOW TO IMPROVE IT!
With Sandra Tisiot, CEO of Life Lockers
A credit report is used by financial institutions to determine whether or not they will lend you money but did you know that employers also check your credit as well.
Have you tried to get a cell phone? They check too! As does cable, hydro and gas companies. Your credit describes what type of person you are. Are you credit worthy?
This session will show you a sample of a credit report and describe in detail what it means and help you understand how to build it and how to improve it.
GETTING BACK TO WORK

A vocational rehabilitation expert who will answer your questions on disability, employment, and job-readiness skills. For example, you were on disability for depression for a long period of time. What do you write on your resume? How do you address this in an interview?
