Nassau County officials have organized free job preparation classes where residents can learn about resume writing, interview tips and the best ways to find work. Professionals from staffing agencies will lead the classes.

“We encourage everyone, including veterans, to register for one of the free job preparation workshops as this is a great opportunity to enhance your ability of becoming gainfully employed,” said Essex County Executive Ed Mangano. “The better prepared the job seekers are, the more confident they come across which can lead to greater employment opportunities and success.”

As temperatures plummet across the region, Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano has opened additional Warming Centers for residents to find comfort during the day. The County will continue to identify new locations for warming centers and announce their openings. County Executive Mangano has strongly advised all residents without power to utilize his Friends and Family Sheltering Plan or utilize one of the County’s 24-hour shelters.
