Credit union providing free resume workshop for community in Woodruff Park
Georgia’s Own Credit Union, in partnership with Library on the Lawn, is hosting a free resume workshop in Woodruff Park from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Monday, August 5, to support Atlantans in their efforts to secure employment. The event is called “Reimagine Your 8 to 5 on 8/5,” the latest initiative in Georgia’s Own’s yearlong “85 Acts of Kindness” campaign.
While unemployment is at a nearly 50-year low, Georgia’s 3.9% unemployment rate remains higher than the national 3.7% average. The Georgia’s Own team looks forward to providing one-on-one consulting and free USB drives so participants can take a digital copy of their new resume with them. Library on the Lawn, an outdoor computer lab hosted by the Fulton County Library System, will provide Chromebooks at the event.
Through this latest act of kindness, Georgia’s Own hopes to help Atlantans looking for a change in their current job status take advantage of the excellent job market and the economic advantages of the recent Federal interest rate cut from 2.25% to 2%, the first such cut to interest rates in a decade. By moving to reduce rates, the Fed’s policymakers are attempting to reduce the risk of a recession that could cause the unemployment rate to skyrocket.
“Reimagine Your 8 to 5 on 8/5” is the latest initiative in Georgia’s Own Credit Union’s yearlong “85 Acts of Kindness” campaign celebrating its 85th anniversary by serving the public good in unique and unexpected ways.
