Junior League of Baltimore: Unsung Hero Award

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:34:00 -0500

I was awarded an Unsung Hero award by the Junior League of Baltimore at our General Membership Meeting on January 24, 2012. The award is for my work with the League’s Twitter account: @JLBaltimore. The text of my nomination appears below:

Jennifer Yousfi has taken over the JLB Twitter account this year and increased communications and awareness for the League! Because of her upkeep and interactions, the conversations and “tweets” referencing the League has increased exponentially. She has been a wonderful asset in reviving this social media outlet—and without her continued effort, the twitter account would still be floundering.

The UNSUNG HEROES award will be given to those JLB members who have done exceptional jobs in their regular JLB placements.Submissions can come from Board Members and Chairs, and the only rule is this award cannot be given to Chairs, Board Members or whole committees.

A Lot of Hope and a Little Help for Long-Term Job Seekers

A Lot of Hope and a Little Help for Long-Term Job Seekers:

By Guest Blogger Jennifer Yousfi

You don’t have to be a pessimist to think the current US job market is bleak. Over 40% of unemployed workers – 6.0 million Americans – have been out of work for six months or more. Yikes! Even the strongest of optimists have to admit times are hard for job-seekers. But there are still open jobs out there – and recruiters looking to fill those positions!
