During the past five years I have organized a job club--sharing job information with those out of work. I post job openings with those who subscribe to the jobs club frequently and also have co-sponsored community forums on jobs. A linked in site has also been created: www.linkedin.com (greenburgh jobs group). If you're not on the list and are out of work, please e mail me. I estimate that this jobs group has helped over 125 people find employment since it was started.  If you are employed and know of job openings at your place of business, please share the information with me.
