Career Guidance / Job & Internship PlacementsThe Aish Tamid Career Center has been very successful in matching up hundreds of students with new internship and employment opportunities. While the Aish Tamid Student and Community Career Fair is our main job placement event of the year, we still continue to work overtime during other parts of the year to help place students in either long-term or short-term jobs of their choice. Most often, the task of finding “the perfect job” for a student begins way before the first employer interview. The Aish Tamid Career Center will schedule a convenient time for a student to come and meet with a Career Counselor in order to identify specific skills and talents which the student may posses and how to best use those skills and talents to obtain a great job. Some of the jobs may be long-term employment jobs or career positions and others may be entry-level positions which allow a young adult an opportunity to gradually enter the workforce and slowly accumulate experience. Cover letter assistance, resume customization, interviewing and networking skills and other strategic employment tips are provided to each student, as well as realistic timeframes for interviews and callbacks to occur so that the student understands the complete process and timeline for getting a real job. After years of cultivation amongst hundreds of employers who have previously hired Aish Tamid students, we have developed a strong set of professional partners and affiliates who assist us in our efforts and who provide year-round employment opportunities for many of our students. Legal assistants, residential and commercial mortgage banking, property management, construction, nursing home administration, catering, insurance brokerage, etc. are some of the many jobs which Aish Tamid has successfully placed students. Some positions are unpaid internships, some are paid on an hourly basis and others may be paid either by salary or/and commission. Some positions are “desk jobs” and other positions are “out in the field” or “on the road.” There is no such thing as a generic, “cookie-cutter job” that is good for everyone. There are hundreds and hundreds of available jobs which each require a different set of skills, talents and education level. The Aish Tamid Career Center offers job and internship placement services free of charge to all student participants and, when necessary, to their families. Aish Tamid continues to work hard on behalf of our students and families to assist them in finding engaging employment opportunities.
