Help, I need employees
By Denise Adamik, Maid in America, LLC


With business really picking up in the past few months at Maid in America, LLC, I needed to find help fast. My first move was to put an ad in the local paper to run on two days, Wednesday and Sunday, for about $160.00. This did not get the results I was looking for so I registered the job positions with the CT State Dept. of Labor, otherwise known as CT Works. It is a simple registration process where employers can also search résumés and access other useful information.

Better known as electronic classified advertising, this is a great way to advertise folks, and it is absolutely free of charge. Applicants are able to send employers their resume via e-mail which really worked out for me. I would send a reply to the person and set up an appointment to come to the office. CT Works also set up a job fair for my company and others at their Norwich site. Each employer had a separate room in which to interview applicants. During the 2-hour session, I interviewed 8 people on that day. CT Works is more than likely going to advertise in local papers (they haven't yet because the program is still in its early stages and they need to see the response they get from employers and employees). I highly recommend accessing the web site at www.ctdol.state.ct.us when you are looking for employees.

As a final note, my Business Server at the DOL is Nancy Grey. She will even stop by my office and leave completed Maid in America's applications on my desk for review. Now how's that for service?
