Meet Julie Gertler
JulieGertner 

Volunteering is part of Julie Gertler's DNA.  After a successful career in sales and recruiting for the hospitality industry, Julie has devoted innumerable personal and professional resources to JFY and our graduates.  Beyond facilitating workshops and conducting mock interviews with JFY clients like Eryka Darey (pictured left), she has connected clients to employers in the area using her own personal network. Prior to these special interviews, Julie prepared each graduate individually with a specialized mock interview and critique. Her skills in recruiting are invaluable to the agency as JFY is always looking to expand our placements to new industries. Working with the Employer Services and Career Development teams at JFY, Julie provides the connections we seek to help each client's career path be a success. A devoted mother and now a true JFY team member, we are so grateful for the doors she continues to open for our graduates.
