New Job Success! Congrats to one of our Job Club graduates who recently got a new job! Leslie writes: I received a call from Linda asking about if I had found a job. I have been thinking about emailing you to let you know that I started full time at Summa Health System. Ann (who I was referred to by you) referred me to the Senior Human Resources Representative at Summa. She guided me to apply for registered nurse positions that were similar to what I had done at my previous job (at the hospital I was laid off from). I want to thank you, Linda, and Don for the great advice that helped me to find a career job again. Finding Mature Services was the best thing to happen to me when I was unemployed!

The Job Club Difference We love to hear the success stories from our Job Club graduates. We recently received a note from Kaeth who shared with us a story of a successful job interview: "My interview today was great! Amy, Director of Talent Acquisition escorted me to the interview room – several miles from reception. This gave us the opportunity for conversation. She said, “Your resume is so perfect it’s almost unreal.” "I believe I delivered a great presentation and feel good about moving forward," Kaeth added. "Thanks for your on-going support and encouragement." If you or someone you know is looking for employment, be sure to visit our website to about our Job Club and other services to support older adults!
