October 21 is 10th anniversary of Disability Mentoring Day

In honor of the 10th anniversary of Disability Mentoring Day on October 21st, GettingHired.com invites our Jobseekers and all networkers to find and connect with our GettingHired.com Mentors. Once you have registered as a GettingHired.com Jobseeker, simply go to the Make Connections tab and then click on Find Mentors. You will be connected to individuals who can provide advice on learning new ways of doing things, overcoming adversity, presenting yourself effectively, and many more topics.

We also invite our Jobseekers, Employer Partners, Service Providers, Advocacy Organization members, and anyone who has something positive to share with an individual with a disability who is searching for a job to volunteer and become a GettingHired.com Mentor yourself. If you can spare even a little time at your leisure to allow folks in our community to connect with you in our Mentor Directory via GettingHired.com messaging, you can make a difference in someone's life. Employers and Service Providers can sign up after logging in to their GettingHired.com Dashboards.

For more information or if you have questions about signing up, message me, BusyBee or contact us here.
