The high school graduating Classes of 2024 and 2025 are looking for business professionals to set the standard of tomorrow's hiring practices at their upcoming Resume Review Event. Whether you're the owner of your small business or are the lead of your company's hiring team, many students could use your insight on what employers look for in a resume and how they can best showcase themselves as a potential future employee.

Bring yourself or invite your entire team to coach for a day on Thursday, February 22nd at Olympia High School. Past volunteers have not only left this event with new hires but also gained a better understanding of the next generation of graduates. For more information, contact Jen Boelts at jboelts@osd.wednet.edu or call 360-596-7027.
