a week of creating job opportunity
Wow! Look at all of these #jobsjobsjobs tweets and posts!
The National Urban League Young Professionals is answering the call of NUL President Marc Morial in the war on unemployment. In over 90 affiliate offices across the country, Urban League employees and volunteers are providing access to job opportunity through career training, career training, resume writing seminars, and connections to employment through employers ready to hire. Today our reach extends beyond the traditional “urban communities” to those of all colors and zip codes. Joblessness now touches suburbia, young professionals and students. Join us by sharing jobs and resume tips via social media #JOBSJOBSJOBS, writing a letter to your senator in support of the Urban Jobs Act and volunteering at one of our affiliates throughout the week. Follow the Jobs!Jobs!Jobs! profile pics or search urban league young professionals to find out how to get involved. Sign up to participate at http://jobsjobsjobs.eventbrite.com/.
