Thank you for the comments and suggestions for carved job leads. We have assisted employers this year to create the following positions. We have used employment proposal techniques, relationship building, networking meetings and friend referrals.

ü We used an employment proposal process to help a retirement center hire a client 2 hrs during busy times to help existing workers keep up with workload.

ü After a friend referral an attorney firm hired a client to do janitorial work one day per week

ü A wellness center massage clinic hired a client to do general cleaning in common areas

ü Retirement Center created an additional busser position to clean the kitchen and dining room area.

ü A pet store using our assessment process hired our client just to care for the fish-because he was so talented in this area

ü bowling center created a janitorial position to help keep up during busy times.

Placements these past two weeks include general labor position, peer advocate and demonstrator

Let us know with a quick email. We are always on the lookout for single task jobs or ones we can help an employer create.

Wishing everyone a great new year!
