The unemployment toolkit you didn’t know you needed…

Written By Giovanna Ventola

Looking for a new job is the absolute worst. Especially when you’re unemployed, down, and desperate…

Just know you’re not alone. I’m doing it with you.

Let’s ditch the cliches and dive into some real action steps.

I’m sharing my library of practical templates, resources, and strategies to help you get ahead of the game. These can work for anyone looking to make professional connections.

The templates will be in Google Drive or Canva. They will be in 'Read Only’ format. You’ll need to make a copy to start editing!

Come back to this page anytime. I’ll be adding more resources as things start to click for me.

Stay sharp out there my angels. Something will work for you!

  • Simple ATS Approved Resume Template - Make sure you upload this in a .doc, .docx, or .txt file format. PDF’s are hard for the software to read.
