To All Hastings High School Students,
Welcome back to the 2009-20010 school year. I hope
everyone is off to a great start. As the Youth Employment Service (YES)
Director for the Village of Hastings, I hope to get to know all of you and
help you find the perfect employment, volunteer or internship experience.
Whether you need to earn money to pay your expenses, want an interesting
and constructive way to spend your time, or need a great experience to add
to your college resume, the YES Office can help.
PLEASE FILL OUT A NEW APPLICATION, even
if you gave me one last year – don’t forget to update your “experiences.”
A current YES Application is required to be placed for any jobs during the
school year.
I have already received several requests from
perspective employers seeking students to work. I have openings for
babysitting after school, homework supervision and tutoring, and many new
requests will be coming in shortly. Last year Hastings students worked in
many varied jobs including: restaurant staff, babysitting, computer
training, website development, video-taping, party photographers, party
aides, dental assistant, retail stores, home organizing, yard work, snow
removal, eBay-selling, tutoring, pet caretakers, senior citizen
companions, lifeguards, camp counselors, golf course workers and many
more. If you have your own idea of what you want to do, I will help make
it happen. Fill out the attached application/questionnaire and return it
to me. You can leave it in my mailbox, but I will need to meet with you
in person.
I am in the new YES Office which is NOW LOCATED up
the staircase in the Library (the Crow’s Nest), on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. Please drop by or call me at 478-6266. My email address is
iturbej@hastings.k12.ny.us. (include a clear subject line so I know it
is legit and not spam!) Listen for my morning announcements and be sure
to check the YES Bulletin Board which is just inside the Library, for job
postings. Feel free to post job/volunteer position requests as well. I
have store applications, YES applications, and information you need on
Lifeguard Training Courses throughout the year. I will have summer camp
applications and information available right after the December Break.
NOTE: Applications for Summer Camp jobs begin
in the Winter!
For the past four years, HS students have volunteered
to teach mentoring classes at Hillside. Please let me know if you would
like to teach one of these classes. Watch for details.
If you are interested in free training to be a Party
Aide, let me know by checking the appropriate space on the YES application
form.
Watch for workshops in Job Search, Job Applications,
Resume-Writing and Job Interviews. In addition to these workshops, I am
always available to help you individually in these areas, as well as
helping you find a job or internship.
I look forward to meeting with each of you!
Sincerely,
Mrs. J. Iturbe
NOTE: Working Papers are obtained through the
Guidance Office.
