United Way Volunteers Help Job Seekers from Levels 4 - 7

Volunteers from P&G, via United Way, were on hand this morning to introduce our class and Donald's class to interview skills and resume preparation. The session opened with an interactive presentation in our classroom.

Although the presentation went at a clip and listening comprehension wasn't always stay at 100%, it was useful in exposing everyone to the pace of normal spoken language.

Also inspiring was the fact that one of the presenters also learned English as a Second Language and had no discernable accent.

The session broke out after the break into groups with or without resumes, in different LINC levels.

Beyond the technicalities of resume writing, presenters and participants got to know one another better.

They're always welcome, United Way volunteers from various professions!

O yeah, not forgetting the hand-outs ... psst, from the Queen's Business School, no less!
