Jan. 9 “WorkSource Oregon at the  Library” program

The next session of Newport Public Library’s monthly “WorkSource Oregon at the  Library” program takes place starting at 2:00 PM on Friday, January 9, 2026 in the McEntee Meeting Room at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye St in Newport with a presentation on soft skills and interview skills.

WorkSource Oregon’s Business and Employment Specialist Lonnie Martinez will be presenting information about employer-preferred soft skills and interview skills in an interactive session to assist attendees in getting a job offer. Once a person has been offered an interview, it’s important to know what to expect. Soft skills are different than hard skills – but what’s the difference? Both interviewing and soft skills are critical for being offered a job. Learn strategies, best practices, common questions and more at this 
program.
