Finding a Job in a Difficult Economy

ESL student Alberto Roman was frustrated with his job search. Previously, he had worked as a chimney repairman. He looked for a job in his area of expertise, but he couldn't find anything. Alberto was even thinking about leaving the Bay Area because he could not find work. Then, he decided to go to the OPEN COMPUTER LAB for help. Working with Teacher Martin, Alberto set up his own email account. Next, with the teacher's help, Alberto made a resume. He also searched on the Internet for Bay Area companies that do chimeny work. On Wednesday (March 11), Alberto got a phone call from one of the companies he had contacted. He started his new job on Thursday, March 11!

Congratulations, Alberto!

The OPEN COMPUTER LAB is available for ESL students Monday through Thursday from 4:20 to 6:20 pm. Teacher Martin is available to assist students with their job search and other help on the computer.
