"Searching for a new career can be a tedious process, and we are glad that we can help bring some encouragement and tips to those that are looking for work," says Gerry Dick, host of INside Indiana Business.
Peter Dunn, founder of Green Candy notes, "With unemployment hovering around 10%, we must make sure that we support those that are looking to enter or re-enter the workforce, this includes recent college graduates that are starting their job search for the first time."
WISH-TV plans on highlighting the event as part of their continuing coverage of the unemployment challenges in Indiana. "We have long believed that the entire community is uplifted when the unemployed feel the support of their fellow Hoosiers," says Jeff White, president and general manager of WISH-TV's 24- Hour News 8.
