Week of 3/7/2011 to 3/11/2011

Well this week was a normal week we have been making calls to long term unemployed veterans.  This week I was able to make flow sheets for all the processes the I complete as a Veteran Representative.  I did the flow chart for when a veteran comes into a unemployment orientation and the steps the one should follow in the program we use called SKIES.  Also I applied for an open position that will be opening sometime at the end of the month and I got certified, which means that I met all requirements for this state employment postition.  I forgot the camera today I wish I would have brought it, because the LVER Maurcio bought pizza for everyone.  Also this week I found out some bad new that, they are cutting the number of interns that can intern from 6 to 2 and that is going to effect a lot of college students; this is due to budget cuts.  Also I have been interviewing a number of older unemployed workers and each one the at speak with swear that they cannot get a job because of their age which really helps me with my paper.  This is because they have no clue of their rights, the Age Discrimination Act, or who they can go to for help and advice.  My reaseach has allowed me to have this information for these older workers.
