A new group is forming in West Boca, and the goal is to help those hit hardest by the economic downturn find new employment. Jim Infantino owns Infantino Search and Consulting and has been placing job seekers for 29 years, but things began to change last October.
“Even up until then, we were still placing large numbers of job seekers in good positions. Things began to change in October, and the number of applicants far exceeded available positions,” he said.
Infantino said the new group will take an atypical, hands-on approach and will focus on resume writing, interviewing, new job search technologies and special topics. “Sometimes people get discouraged when they are on their own looking for employment, and it can get very frustrating. Our workshops will be capped at 15 people and broken down into three, 30-minute sections,” he said.
The first meeting is from 4:30 to 6 p.m. March 9 in the Board Room at 20283 U.S. Highway 441. Subsequent workshops will take place Mondays and Wednesdays. The cost is $10. For more information call ISC at 561-483-8640, or visit www.iscrecruiters.net
