Community Partners connects Club members with meaningful
volunteer opportunities in the Northeast Ohio Community. Here
are two of our most popular activities:
Several members of the HBS Club assembled to provide
interviewing tips and mock interviews to seniors at Jane
Addams School. Club members present were Bart Blackburn,
Mary Holmes, Jim Yasinow and Elizabeth Croll. The
volunteers met with fifteen seniors in Mrs. Mueller's
Culinary Arts class to share interview skills with
students interested in pursuing careers in the culinary
and hospitality industries. Mock interviews will resume
in the spring. Please contact Joan Schaefer at
jlsjcs@aol.com for more
information
or to express
your interest in participating in this worthwhile event.

The second session of mock interviews was held at
MLK School. Three 11th
grade English classes had interviews in small groups
led
by HBS Club
members, Dan Carney, Ralph Schey, Mary Holmes, Jim
Yasinow, and director of human resources from Whole
Health Management,
Althea Johnson.

The students were just beginning a unit on career
plannning, and it is the desire of the class and teacher
that
HBS alums can return in the spring to review resumes
and
conduct another set of mock interviews.
Club member Jim Yasinow said, "I haven't been
active in the Club for a while, but now that I am retired,
I
have more time to get involved and this is a great
project. I really enjoyed meeting these kids, and look
forward
to coming back to MLK in the spring."
