SUMMARY:JVS Job Seekers: How to Excel During Phone Screens and Job Interviews
DESCRIPTION:Great phone screens\, face-to-face and Zoom job interviews all require sound preparation and an understanding of what’s important to the person conducting the interview.

SUMMARY:Free Beautiful Writing - Calligraphy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Led by Tricia Goginsky\, Artist Facilitator \nCalligraphy means “beautiful writing” and it is usually thought of as a traditional art form that requires precision and a lot of time to master. However\, it can also be a playful and expressive personal practice! \nIn this workshop\, we will use simple tools to learn the basic calligraphy strokes and how to turn those strokes into beautiful lettering. After a little practice\, we’ll make posters inspired by words that are meaningful to us. This is a non-traditional and fun way to start using modern calligraphy to express your ideas. No previous experience is necessary!
