For The Unemployed

I've been sent this a couple of times, and it seems like a wonderful initiative. It's a joint product of the Orthodox Union, Agudah, and National Council of Young Israel.
I wanted to make you all aware of a wonderful organization that is working diligently to place professionals who have recently been laid off, and are looking for work. “Emergency Parnossa Initiative” is a non-profit organization that was created to address the needs of our local community in these difficult times. In the past two weeks alone they have been successful in placing a number of professionals in six figure jobs.I took the liberty to attach a brief description of their services. Please take a minute to read it.Most importantly, if you know of any job openings available, or if you are looking to hire, please contact them either via email at jobs@epinetworking.org or call them at 212.612.0202. (They are offering a $1,000 reward to anyone who refers a job that leads to permanent employment).

If you or someone you know has recently been laid off and is looking for work, please contact EPI today.Please forward this email to all your contacts.

  2. I'm a co-chair for ParnasaFest, a international grassroots initiative providing networking and job assistance for the Jewish community, so its very much in the vein of the YI's initiative. We just created a job board, launched last week, and many of the listings so far are also for great, high paying jobs. One of the most important things to remember is that during a time of lay offs, people are still being hired. Jobs still need to get done. I think any group that is showing people that there are still good jobs out there is doing a great thing. It gives people hope that their next job is just around the corner.

  3. Thanks Susanne! :)

    Reminded me of this, from the Times recently: "So, while 4.8 million workers were laid off or chose to leave their jobs in February, employers across the country hired 4.3 million workers that month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics."
