Social Media

From an Employer’s Perspective.

With the rise and popularity of social media usage, employers have also joined in and have taken a new approach to use social media to screen job applicants. This approach gives employers the autonomy to find what prospective applicants are doing, thinking, and feeling based solely on their social media platforms.

Grocery Shopping

I admit that I do not enjoy grocery shopping. I know it’s a necessary chore to avoid the high cost of continually eating out but I’m honest with myself. I find accomplishing that chore easier by simply entering the store, getting what I need, and exiting as soon as possible to get back to doing what I enjoy. I call it grocery getting as opposed to grocery shopping.

The Regional Facilitator Team

In 2008, Workforce Solutions started the regional facilitator team to give better and easier access to seminars for customers. The Regional Team conducts seminars in the offices and in the community to help customers look for work and go to work. The following is a description of the team’s activities during 2020, indeed a year we will all remember!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day offers Americans a time to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and liberty in this great nation, The United States of America. In the process of honoring the memory of those veterans and their families, we also pay tribute to the veterans who have served and are still living today. With that in mind, I would like to focus attention on certain organizations that reach out to assist members of the military and their family as they transition to civilian life.
