“This is a terrific undertaking –you are to be congratulated. Here are a few
areas which I can help:
1. Job Search Focus Group can do a few things:
- circulate the word via our broadcast email, website and during
meetings
- you could come and give a 2-3 minute summary of the program and
what you’d like our members to do.
