Don't Forget! Job Prep Program this Saturday!

This Saturday, March 5th, from 3:00 - 4:00pm I will be holding a job prep program in the large meeting room at the front of the branch. This program is for high school students only.

In need of income? Thinking of applying for a summer job, or looking for something more permanent? It's a tough job market out there. Want some tips? Join me for a discussion about what to do and what NOT to do as you fill out applications and go for interviews.
