JFS SV Needs Your Help To Place Our Clients In Jobs
Jewish Family Services of Silicon Valley is expanding its employment services and needs your help. The economic crisis has broadened the face of unemployment. We serve several groups of underemployed people. Community clients, particularly laid off high-tech professionals, now find themselves facing situations they never thought they would. Jim Holley, our new Job Developer, is now available to provide job search assistance to underemployed members of our community.
Email Jim at jimh@jfssv.org or call 408-556-0600 if you own or know of businesses that are looking for self-motivated and hard working professionals.
JFS SV’s refugee clients have given much and worked hard to come to the United States. They are here to succeed, and want to become fully integrated into American society and give back to their new home. In order to do this, they need to find jobs commensurate with their experience. JFS SV refugee clients are eligible to bring their employer Work Opportunity Tax credits and Federal Job Tax Credits up to $2500 for each hired individual. These clients are looking for entry-level through advanced positions. If you own or know of businesses that are looking for workers who are success-oriented, please refer them to Helen Sappa, Career Counselor, helens@jfssv.org or call Helen at 408.357.7459.
