Greetings!
Portfolio Creative Team members work the assembly line at The Mid-Ohio Foodbank (L-R): Amanda Zechiel, Jennifer Brown, Kristen Harris, Catherine Lang-Cline.
 | Happy October! A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of volunteering at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. What a great, fulfilling experience! Nearly 20% of the food received by the Foodbank must be sorted and packaged before it's delivered to people in need. We inspected foods that were damaged at
the grocery store and then sorted the items by category. If you or your company would like to help fight hunger in our community, consider volunteering your time or holding a food drive. On separate note, congratulations to our own Amanda Zechiel (Client & Talent Services) for becoming a Certified Staffing Professional with The American Staffing Association. Out of over 205,800 staffing employees in the U.S., only around 4,000 hold this professional distinction. All of us at Portfolio are committed to holding this important certification which allows us to better understand labor and employment law principles and ethical practices. -The Portfolio Team

eventually come to you, it can be challenging to stay positive and
motivated. There are many things you can do to shorten your unemployment, or at least make it a productive period of growth that benefits you and others."

Resume Writing for Career Change
Kristen Harris, Owner
*Kristen recently contributed to an article on the career advice website, 'Vocation Village.' Read the entire article by clicking the link below.
"Employers read resumes VERY quickly. They skim, really, looking for
specific words, phrases, previous employers, software, and skills. They
do not generally take the time to interpret or try to decipher things
that are unclear. You have to be concise and clear or you likely won't
be invited for an interview."
