JOB SKILLS: HELP SOME ONE RE-ENTER THE WORKFORCE

Ever interview successfully for a job? Then come use your past experience to help unemployed people refine their interviewing and job search skills. Twice a month a group of volunteers meets with participants in the Jubilee Jobs Placement program. We conduct mock interviews with the clients and provide them with feedback and suggestions. Training is provided for volunteers — so you don’t need to be an expert interviewer. To sign-up contact David Plotinsky, our program manager at DavidPlotinsky@ureach.com.
