In the Job Resource Center this Week


7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 6
Things are looking a little better in the housing market - but for those who have lost their jobs in this recession, little has improved. Job hunting is as hard, as frustrating, as time-consuming as working, without the regular paycheck.

But there are steps you can take to preserve your savings, protect your retirement accounts, and make your money last through a career transition.
As important, there are ways to maintain a positive approach to change and find the real opportunities for making good choices, following your own best path, and insuring that this transition offers long-term opportunities and benefits.
Offered by Financial Planners Kim Barry and Stephen McGahran and Career Coach Donna Coulsen.

Wednesday, July 7, by appointment
Resume evaluations or help with developing a resume. Call 732-671-3700, ext. 320 to make an appointment. Offered by Sherry and Tony Miloscia

Conjurer
May 1, 2010

He left them,
mesmerized by the roadside.

Wordsmithe.

Weaver of songs,
images conjured from the stars
minds whisked away, dreamy stares –

Itinerant troubadour.
Word juggler.

Ray Brown
