Seniors at B.M.C. Durfee High School had the opportunity to learn how to sharpen their job search skills with the help of senior Guidance Counselor Kerry LaCharity. The afternoon workshop on March 4, 2009, gave each of the participants the opportunity to fine tune their job searching skills and to get ideas for how to look for the kind of job that would give them what they want in the way of experience and remuneration. "Many students know the kind of job they want, they just need help in learning how to find it," stated Ms. LaCharity. The program is offered free of charge to high school seniors who are looking for work in the summer after graduation. This is one of four workshops supported by a youth violence prevention grant from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. For more information, contact Ms. LaCharity at 508-675-8100 x1220.
