Hundreds of participants in UJO's Ways to Success Event
left with important information and guidance in how to be successful in their
new careers.
Rabbi David Niederman, UJO executive director and
president, spoke about how all need to make the appropriate efforts to succeed,
even as we have faith that Hashem ultimately provides us with our needs. Avi
Greenstein, CEO of the Boro Park Jewish Community Council, said, "People
should not feel like they have been dropped off the cliff when they start a new
job. They should know that even as they start working, they are still eligible
to continue to receive government assistance while they are beginning in the
workforce at a starting wage." Avi also stressed the importance of
safeguarding credit scores. Rabbi Chaim Dovid Desser, the founder of the POEL
group which has placed a large number of individuals in rewarding careers,
spoke about how to look for a job and what employers are looking for in an
employee. Eliezer Krauss also addressed those in attendance and discussed the
pros and cons of starting a home business as opposed to working for someone
else. Zacharia Waxler, CPA from Roth & Co gave an overview
on business basics.
