Event description:
Resume writing, job skills, and interviewing techniques are in high demand, especially in the current job market. Please join KCWWL for a Winter job mentorship event that will provide encouragement and assistance to the women at Mary’s Place to help them get back on their feet and into the work force.
KCWWL volunteers will act as Job Coaches to mentor Mary’s Place residents. Volunteers will be paired up with participants from Mary’s Place and conduct a short term meeting to review each individual’s job background, work experience, and resume, and offer professional advice and feedback. Depending on the needs of the participants, volunteers will help draft and review resumes and cover letters, and/or assist with online job searches, online job applications, and mock interviews.
KCWWL members have the opportunity to pass on their job search and job application experience by providing guidance, encouraging confidence, and offering their professional perspectives to homeless women in need.
Please RSVP to Stephanie Marshall at stephanie.ne@gmail.com. Additional information to follow.
We need your help with this great event and hope to see you there!
