STATE REPRESENTATIVE MUSHINSKY TO HOST JOB
SEARCH AND CAREER DAY IN WALLINGFORD

State Representative Mary Mushinsky, the CT Department of Labor and Charter Oak Community College are sponsoring a Job Search and Career Day on March 18, 2009. This event is open to the public and will provide services to individuals who are unemployed, underemployed and those in need of a career change.

The Connecticut Department of Labor (Career Express Van) will be available all day (9:00 am to 3:30 pm) in the Parking Lot of the Wallingford Public Library. The Career Express Van is equipped with Department of Labor staff, computers and internet access to assist those in job search strategies, interviewing techniques, resume writing and critique and job exploration.

"This is a perfect opportunity to evaluate your skills and explore careers that are available today," Rep. Mushinsky said. "I encourage everyone who is interested in exploring new employment options to come join us."

Charter Oak Community College will have a guest speaker available during the evening (6:00 to 8:00 pm) at the Wallingford Town Hall to provide information about the college, education for career switching and to address concerns and answer questions from the public.

Representative Mushinsky represents the 85th Assembly District in Wallingford. She is House Chair of the Program Review & Investigation Committee and a member of the Select Committee on Children, the Environment and the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committees.
