Testimonials We want to hear from you. If you have a story to share with our on-line audience, please feel free to email the message and a photo (optional) to us at info@parentjobnet.org and we'll post it on our website. Here are a few unsolicited testimonials from our members/audience: “I love supporting ParentJobNet. It’s a great way to build our community!" H. Rosenthal Upper West Side (NYC) Mom “I want to see ParentJobNet go nationwide…In my book, the program should become a nationwide project for inner-city parents.” Nancy Ploeger, President Manhattan Chamber of Commerce "Win's class [Job Readiness] was fabulous. Very informative. Very thorough. Busted many job hunting myths, and chock full of surprising tips to focus your hunting." M. Golden 20/20 Producer Upper West Side Parent “I found this workshop extremely helpful on how to present myself the best way possible. I feel much more prepared now than I did 3 weeks ago…I want more!” D. Mercado Center School Parent - NYC “Great job! Very personable and able to get people motivated about a very daunting [job hunting] task.” Job Readiness Participant Public School Parent – NYC “The homework assignment and interview techniques helped to focus on the points important to the job search” Your [Win’s teaching] style is great. It helped reinforce the 3 steps recommended.” A. Harvin Public School Parent - NYC “Wow. I am so impressed with the ParentJobNet website. Clearly, much thought, concern, creativity, versatility, and leave-no-stone- unturned went into developing your website. It is a very magnanimous and ambitious [website] project -- you are definitely going to fill an important niche in the community -- and it is so wise and wonderful to tap into the talents of the parents in our schools community. It looks like a real grass roots organization which is so needed -- and developing a website just for parents to talk to each other, candidly, helps bridge the communication which is so difficult with busy schedules and trying to catch up between drop offs, pick ups, field trips and potluck dinners. We need something more organized -- and how wonderful that this webiste provides that access to all. This is more than a website of course -- it's a community builder, supporter and inspirer. There are so many facets to your website -- so many layers and directions/departments.” S. Lee Producer – Non-Profit Organization Upper West Side Parent “This is a great idea. I'm often recruiting [for my company], so I will use it to send out postings.” F. Rosen Former PA President Upper West Side Parent “GREAT IDEA! I have wanted to do something like this (not as advanced as Internet-based) for the school community for the past 3 years. Great work!” R. Kaplan Upper West Side Parent "I couldn't contain myself after reading your [ESL program] email and had to share just how very excited I am about this program, your organization and what it will mean to our community!!! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of it all." Anita H. Parent Coordinator District 3 Public School "This is a great website for parents and community members. I was able to connect with a good job lead (parent) which ultimately led to a job. Thank you." Peter M. Parent "I sold some items that my children outgrew on your website. Thanks!" S. Lowinsky Upper West Side Parent "THE PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING EVENT WAS MY FIRST MEETING AND I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE ENTIRE EVENT. I DO PLAN TO ATTEND FUTURE EVENTS. YOU HAVE CREATED A TRULY WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION, WHICH IS MUCH NEEDED IN THIS COMMUNITY WHERE THERE IS A LACK OF NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENTS. I HOPE THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME." M. LEE PUBLIC SCHOOL PARENT PARENTJOBNET is a wonderful West Side resource for parents who need jobs, children who need camp, and general networking with neighbors and small business owners...go to their website.
