[Ohio-talk] Are we a liability for employers?

[Marianne Denning]

You said you volunteered in this type of work at Cleveland Sight
Center.  Would they be willing to talk with you about the quality of
your work and give you a recommendation?  Did you get feedback from
the staff while you were there?  I also agree with Barbara's
recommendations.  Find others who are working in the profession that
interests you and talk about how they have resolved issues.
