With a staff of 18 and a team of paid, professional educators conducting the flagship job placement courses initiated in 2000, a strict vetting process culls typical applicant pools of 80 to 100 people down to 20. Arriving with an array of abilities and needs, Friedman said fierce motivation is something that can’t be taught, so it’s a pre-existing quality they seek in students. Aimed at preparing administrative employees to enter the workforce, three months of training, four months as a paid intern and 18 months of “alumni follow-up” counseling make for a hefty program.

Adriana Ponce-Matteucci came to Opportunity Junction after her husband, Matt Matteucci, lost his job in the plumbing industry in 2011, The Pittsburg resident had a gap in her job history and lacked technical skills to be competitive, But she had the all-essential, I-can-do-it attitude, and today, she is the Antioch Office Manager for Rubicon Programs, a Richmond-based provider of art print - fashion illustration print - ballet flats - fashion art- preppy flats -watercolor shoes - glamour card- preppy art - housing, mental health, employment and other support services to low-income people, Arriving for an interview, it’s easy to recognize Ponce-Matteucci as an Opportunity Junction graduate: assured handshake, warm-toned greeting, direct gaze, business card, Dig deeper: fingers capable of cranking out 45-words-per-minute on a keyboard, complete knowledge of Microsoft systems and a fiery desire to work hard to achieve a better life..

“My job is to organize. I coordinate events and workshops, help (mostly) parents coming out of incarceration to reintegrate into the community, assist them in making job-related purchases — ” she said, not exhausting her list, but ending it. It’s instantly clear: Ponce-Matteucci has learned to gauge her audience as well as manage her job’s multiple responsibilities. Bilingual, well-prepared and conscientious, she downplays her talents, saying she was surprised to be accepted into the program.

“I interviewed well, I asked questions,” art print - fashion illustration print - ballet flats - fashion art- preppy flats -watercolor shoes - glamour card- preppy art - she said, hesitantly, More confident in speaking about what she learned, Ponce-Matteucci said, “It’s important to give back, We were required to do volunteer hours while we were in the program, It made me feel I made a difference.”, Contributing — especially after facing the stiff job market’s inevitable rejections — fed her confidence and reminded her she wasn’t alone, “Everyone needs help at some time,” she said, “If we didn’t stop to help others, we’d be unable to advance.”..

Last year’s gala raised close to $130,000; representing nearly 10 percent of Opportunity Junction’s $1.5 million annual budget. “We’re hoping to top that,” Friedman said, expressing some of the same gritty optimism as the organization’s students. She said the economic crisis sharpened their focus on what employers are seeking. The result is an increase in the courses they offer and partnerships like the one with Rubicon that resulted in Ponce-Matteucci’s placement. With selection as a Microsoft Certification support test center and new initiatives they are seeking with community college avocational programs, she sees no limit to Opportunity Junction’s value in a recovering economy.

I got my love of radio from my parents, My mom was once a Big Band singer, so she listened to stations that played Glenn art print - fashion illustration print - ballet flats - fashion art- preppy flats -watercolor shoes - glamour card- preppy art - Miller, Doris Day and the Andrews Sisters, There aren’t many stations that still play music from the ’40s, but I recently discovered KCEA, a local Big Band station, and now I can stream the likes of Kay Kyser, Billie Holiday and Perry Como in memory of her, My dad, on the other hand, had a bit of a tin ear and was more of a news junkie, He used to listen to nonstop news, like KCBS, back when Dave McElhatton was on the air, and NPR, I always thought NPR was for old people, but thanks to my dad, I’m finding myself tuning in more and more lately, and listening to Miley and Bruno less and less..

The first show I stumbled onto while driving in the car features a coupla’ guys from Brooklyn (or is it the Bronx?) talking about “dere cawrs” on “Car Talk.” These two guys make things like carburetors and pistons actually entertaining, as they solve pressing car problems like “that pinging sound.”. Then I found a show called “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me,” hosted by Peter Sagal and Carl Kasell. Who knew NPR had such a sense of humor? Each weekend three rotating comedians like Paula Poundstone, Tom Bodett and Mo Rocca, answer questions about current events, politics and world issues. Their lightning-quick quips are so funny, I usually I miss my turnoff because I’m laughing so much.

Now I’m hooked, I listen to “Fresh Air” with Terry Gross (I still can’t help thinking about the Saturday art print - fashion illustration print - ballet flats - fashion art- preppy flats -watercolor shoes - glamour card- preppy art - Night Live spoofs of the show) and get to hear entertaining interviews with the famous writers like J.K, Rowling, fascinating actors like Bryan Cranston and experts in the field of everything from saving prairie chickens to touring bat caves, These programs are way more interesting than twerking pop stars singing about heavy machinery and rap stars chanting about their “cheddar.”..
