To make progress towards achieving her long-term goals of finding employment and obtaining her GED, LaShondra is a job trainee in Our House’s Little Learners Child Development Center. She recently completed her third practice interview with Jennifer Williams, a member of the Central Arkansas Human Resource Association (CAHRA). This mother of four made such an excellent impression that she received a business card with an invitation to call Jennifer when she is ready to pursue a job in her chosen career field. I was pleasantly surprised at how organized the experience was. It was a very relaxed and encouraging environment, not only for me as a volunteer, but also for the residents. I was impressed by just about every aspect of the process, including how prepared the residents were and the format Our House uses to evaluate them. - Jennifer Williams, Central Arkansas Human Resource Association
