By Debra Antonelli, SPHR, Public Relations

The Public Relations and Workforce Readiness Committees once again partnered to support area job seekers at the January 16, 2012 Times Union Job Fair. The Committees, along with other volunteers from CRHRA and CRRN provided free resume critiques to over 150 job seekers. Volunteers included Bev Knapp, Robert Braath, Martin Patrick, Jennifer Stonehouse, Erin Gordon, Tom McKenna, Alison Rosenblum, Max Rausch, Renee Mesh, Harry Hayes, Susan Lundberg, Jim Amanatides, Nicole Keck, Tracy Smith, Rebecca Rockwell, David Cheng, Jennifer LaPorte, Amy Sylvester, Allyson Cimino, Marj Adams, and Debra Antonelli.

CRHRA is committed to helping individuals who are entering or re-entering the workforce.  Local job fairs are an opportunity for CRHRA members to volunteer some of their time by helping those seeking to improve their visibility with employers.

We will be providing these services again on April 2, 2012 from 10am – 4pm at the Times Union Job Fair at the Albany Marriott.  If you are an active member of CRHRA and interested in volunteering for the next job fair please email pr@crhra.com or workforce@crhra.org. 

Thank you again to our amazing volunteers for helping our community job seekers!
