February 10, 2012 Dear Friends, The economy and the job market are improving, but unemployment is still too high. If you know of people who need a good job, please share the following information with them. I have made a commitment to hold Job Hunters Boot Camps until they are no longer needed. These free events offer job seekers a chance to meet local employers who are hiring while experts put on workshops designed to improve everyone's job seeking skills. My eighth Job Hunters Boot Camp is Tuesday, March 13, 2012, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Fiesta Hall, the San Mateo County Event Center, 1346 Saratoga Drive, San Mateo. Sign up on my website or call my office at 650-342-0300 to register. If you have a family member or friend who is looking for work, please forward this e-mail to them. Twenty five employers have already committed to being there and I expect several more to be added later this month. Thousands of people have been helped at past boot camps and many have landed jobs. Listen to presenters and attendees from one of the workshops last year: Finally, being able to speak to you directly is very important to me and that's why I hold telephone town halls on a regular basis. These town halls are your chance to share any concerns or questions with me. We covered a broad range of topics in my last telephone town hall. The next one is Wednesday, February 15 from 2:30-3:30 pm PT. You can participate by signing up on my website. Please take a moment and fill out this short survey to let me know which topics you would like me to address at telephone town halls.
