More than 2,200 women have taken advantage of the YW’s Job Search Support program. Not only are women taught Microsoft Office skills, but they can also get help in creating and updating resumes, preparing for interviews and consulting on how to find work. Each woman can take part in a free half-hour consultation.
The YWCA Darien/Norwalk is at 49 Old King’s Highway N. Financial assistance is available for those in need, and there are many free services provided, thanks to the support of the “Open Door” program for homeless women.
For more information about the Job Search Support program, call 203-655-2535, visit the website at ywcadariennorwalk.org/jss, or email Kate Foster at katef@ywcadariennorwalk.org.
