REQUEST - 50+ Program seeks employers for practice hiring event
The 50+ Job-seekers Networking Group is setting up its ultimate event for the Spring 2020 sessions --- Practice Interview With Employers -- to be held on June 24th, 2021; 10-12N [Eastern Time].
We seek employers and recruiters willing to participate by conducting practice interviews.
As we did last year, we will supply some suggested interview questions, but recall how many employers used their own favorites!
Please let me or our director, Susan D Kelly, know if you would be willing to donate your time and talent to help us with this special event that assists mature job-seekers and career-changers.
Susan's contact info is:
Susan has told me that many of the employers who participated last years have already signed on again. I look forward to hearing from more employers during this exciting time as the economy re-opens.
Thanks!

We have been told the best donations right now are that of gift cards to various clothing, drug stores, food and restaurants. Please reach out to Franklin Lions to make your donation.
Update: The Lions met this evening. We have had an outpouring for clothing donations.

We currently will pick up but are working on drop off locations for bags.
