Thanks for Job Resources

I have an unseen disability and also I have been unemployed for a while now. The listing of job resources including the Mayor's new initiative is wonderful. I have hope because of you Ms. Chan and NYPL. I have also been taking some NYPL tech training to upgrade my skills and love that you repeat the classes for those who missed them. Thank you so much for this treasure trove of information!
