How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Having been in the field of employment/human resources management, and signifigant high volume recruitment for several years -- had naturally developed coaching and career development expertise. When the employment market was so seriously impacted in 2008 --sensed the need throughout area communities of newly unemployed people to have someone in their corner who could provide this type of community service. The need for this type of support has grown as people in their 50's and 60's want to keep working yet often have a more challenging time getting that next job.
