Apr 19The Season for Job Fairs
Posted in Uncategorized at 1:46 pm
Job Fairs can be an important tool in locating employment in a tough economy. One of the main advantages of a job fair for the job seeker is that the job seeker is able to come in contact with the person who could potentially hire you for a position. This is a rare opportunity that the job seeker typically does not have turning in or e-mailing a resume/application.
Due to the fact that you will potentially be coming into contact with the hiring manager, it is important to treat this opportunity professionally. Some suggestions are:
- Dress up for the occasion as you would for a professional interview
- Bring additional resumes
- Prepare to answer interview style questions
Three upcoming job fairs within one hour of the Sheboygan area will be taking place in the upcoming 2 months. Please visit the following web site for specific times and dates:

Sep 24ENERGY ASSISTANCE (2009)
Posted in Uncategorized at 3:04 pm
Wisconsin’s Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) provides assistance for heating costs, electric costs, and energy crisis situations. The program is operated by local social and human service agencies. For most families, the heating/electrical assistance payment will be sent directly to the fuel supplier. The amount of the heating/electrical assistance benefit varies according to household size, income level, and household heating cost. You will receive a notification from the Division of Energy Services informing you of your benefit amount. Your vendor will credit the amount to your account.
Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance (WHEAP) Heating Assistance is a one-time payment each heating season (October 1 through May 15). It is intended to help pay a portion of heating costs and does not pay the total annual heating cost.
Many households will be eligible to receive a payment for non-heating electric energy costs through funding provided by the State’s Public Benefits Program. The non-heating electric payment will be sent directly to your electric provider.
WHEAP Crisis Assistance can provide emergency and non-emergency services. Households without heat, with a disconnect notice, or nearly out of heating fuel with no way to pay for heating needs, may be eligible for Emergency Crisis Assistance.
Weatherization helps homeowners and renters reduce energy use while increasing comfort in their homes. This program is operated by a local community agency. Depending on the results of a home audit, homes may receive one or more of a variety of energy efficiency measures.
