As summer rapidly approaches, many job seekers are beginning to apply for seasonal positions. With help from our newest Hire Autism Navigator cohort, they won’t have to face the job search process alone.
Our newest navigators, Beverly Clyburn, Amanda Helfrich, Julia Hicks de Peyster, Katie Jensen, Sherri McDonald, Laura Mehlinger, Sandra Schefkind, Mark Tonsetic, and Kate Volpe, will work directly with job seekers to help them refine their resumes and cover letters as well as helping job seekers practice their interviewing skills.
“Navigators play a critical role in helping our job seekers showcase their unique strengths and skills,” said Amanda Rioux, Hire Autism manager. “Job seekers sometimes don’t realize just how talented they are. Navigators help them connect their talents to what employers are seeking.”
Apply for the next navigator cohort, which begin in July. Applications will be accepted until Friday, June 25, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
