Hundreds Participate in UJO’s Ways to Success Evening



 Hundreds of participants attended the latest UJO of Williamsburg and North Brooklyn’s Ways to Success evening. Attendees were able to acquire relevant information and guidance on how to, with Hashem’s help, be successful in building their careers.  Community leader, Rabbi Chaim Dovid Desser, the founder of POEL group, was a featured speaker. Over the years, Rabbi Desser and the POEL group have been a true asset to the community, helping hundreds upon hundreds find well-paying jobs.

Rabbi Desser spoke about how one can increase one’s value by making an effort to present the characteristics employers are looking for when seeking a job. Rabbi Desser also spoke about not only what employers are looking for in a candidate but the characteristics of people who are able to make progress in their field.  Other topics Rabbi Desser discussed include 
·         How to prepare resume
·         How one should conduct oneself during an interview
·         What qualifications help when one is looking for a job
·         How a beginner can include points in a resume even if they have not yet landed their first job
·         The value of starting out at in an entry-level position so later one can rise in that workplace, or one will subsequently be able to go out and find another job
·         Who is qualified for a number of known businesses

Rabbi Desser also had his firm on hand, providing free resume assistance during the event.
At the conclusion of the evening, Rabbi Desser thanked Rabbi Niederman for his tireless devotion to the Williamsburg community. Rabbi Desser mentioned that when Rabbi Niederman invited him to speak, he felt that he could not decline the invitation given all that Rabbi Niederman does for the community. 

Rabbi Niederman, in turn, gave Rabbi Desser a hearty thank you for making the time to share his expertise with the community in order to assist those in need of employment in finding well-paying jobs. Rabbi Desser was thanked as well for sharing his wealth of information in this field and praised for accomplishing the highest level of charity according to the Rambam - helping someone to find and earn a livelihood in order to gain self-sufficiency.
