Gret job openings

[judig...@aol.com]

I have pasted an email below about a great job opening that many of our graduates are perfectly matched for.  I know that quite a few of you have your background in communications and marketing!!  I also posted a listing of all the employer current openings, which include Accounting and other staff positions.  Please take a look and let me know if you are applying.  The organization is in Culver City.

Also, this is the last email that I will be sending to the CWA groups.  In case you've missed it, I have created a new listserv that is consolidated for all certification graduates and students.  Please make sure that you have requested to join the new group otherwise you will no longer receive emails, job listings, or other certification related information from me...

https://groups.google.com/d/forum/crra-certification

Last thing...I know I have been sending quite a few job listings.  If it's too many emails, please consider temporarily changing to the digest format.  As part of the DOL grant, am working heavily on job placement through December 31.  As you know, our grant was focused on workforce training to help with job placement and advancement.  While the grant has help successfully place many, many graduates, there are still a number of people looking for that perfect job.  I hope to help you find it!!!  If you need any one-on-one services with job placement, please email me directly (not the listserv) and I can help you with that.

Thanks :)
