Employment Reference Guide
The WPGA’s Employment Committee has put together the Employment Reference Guide. The Employment Reference Guide was created to assist anyone seeking their next position in the golf industry. The guide contains information on understanding the hiring process, how to become a better candidate, résumés, interviewing and some stories from PGA Members about their career paths.
