I was asked to help. I just couldn’t say no. And now I wonder if you can also help? Today I met a very smart and friendly young woman refugee from Afghanistan. Her family had to escape. My good friend Barbara Nash is part of a local Interfaith group helping newly arrived Afghan families. It is Barb who is helping Hosay and asked for my help. I helped her today with LinkedIn. And I want to help her with possible career connections. Maybe this is where you come in? In this pic, I am working with Hosay but she is not allowed to show her face online. We angled the photo to hide her face - in case you are wondering why it is not showing. I have to admire her and all the refugee families - starting over from scratch. And hats off to Barbara and all the volunteers helping these folks. Hosay has HR experience and speaks five languages. She helped returning USA military personnel last fall. She and her family were helping women to succeed in Afghanistan - which is why they were in danger. How can you help? Message me or comment if you have a job lead in the Bridgeport, Norwalk, Stamford area in Connecticut. And even if you don’t have an opportunity for her…..please comment and like and share so more people might see this post. Let’s see how we can help this hard-working and brave young lady #linkedin #career #help
Commenting for reach Sandra Long. Any friends in my network in CT that can help? Annette Richmond
Sandra Long I have a lead for Hosay and will email it to you. If it's not a fit, the person who is working to fill it may have other opportunities. Good for you for helping and I wish her the best of luck!
This is so compelling, Sandra. I know people will rise to the occasion and extend a helping hand here. I believe that. I’m not in a position to directly help with employment opportunities, but am here to support in other ways as needed. Hope you will keep us posted. Hosay is an inspiration.
This is so wonderful of you, Sandra! Have her check https://jobs.spectrum.com
Wonderful work, Sandra! Off the top of my head I know the CT Women's Business Development Council is hiring. Here are the opportunities (https://ctwbdc.org/careers/). I'm sure Hosay is more than qualified!
Sandra, the Connecticut Institute for Immigrants amd Refugees (CIRI) is a great resource. I worked with them to support a young couple from Iraq, whose lives were in danger for helping US troops. The Workplace in Bridgeport might be another helpful resource.
Sandra Long Wonderful. Commenting for further reach and continued support. If I can assist, I would be honored.
Always on the lookout. Is it HR specifically that she would like to work in? There are some good groups she might want to check out.
@Sandra Happy to help in any way, perhaps I can help her with her resume? Have you reached out to David Lewis maybe his HR team at OperationsInc might be able to help connect her as well.
