Certified Job Search Strategist (CJSS) Training (The Academies)

How to Become Certified

At the conclusion of the program, participants who have missed no more than 2 classes may sit for the CJSS Online Learning Review, which involves a short multiple-choice exam, completion of 6 hours of audio learning and a Case Study. A case study involves co-creating a job-search action plan with the job seeker, providing appropriate resources for the job seeker (from class materials), and coaching the client in getting interviews and job offers. There is no additional fee for the exam. Those passing will receive a listing on the Job Search Academy web site to promote your credentials as a Certified Job Search Strategist, rights to use the CJSS logo and a certificate. To maintain the CJSS credential, every two years you will need to attend an annual update training. Certification requires two years of experience in the careers field.
