The Senior Job Bank matches seniors with employers who have job openings. We refer skilled, dependable older workers, without fee, to area businesses when these companies list their job needs with our free service. The applicant’s skills are then matched, at no charge, with an employer’s needs, and the senior worker is placed directly on the employer’s payroll. Positions may be temporary or permanent. Millicent Gill handles our Job Bank. It is open Tuesday mornings from 9:00AM to 1:00PM.  People who are 55 years or older and are seeking work should call Linda at 285-1992.
