The cause of the fire seemed to be in the laundry room area, possibly a dryer FIRE Rotating with four from the Vernal office the clients presentations will be aired at different times during the broadcast day. The idea for this innovative approach came from a conference they attended. The Roosevelt and Vernal offices are the only ones in the state presently using this method of helping their clients to find jobs. What the clients do is to record, in the Job Service office, a brief segment about themselves. They tell their name, what they are iooking for and the experience they have obtained. They also specify if they are willing to travel to jobs outside the area. For example. Tina llemstreet. from Roosevelt, was recorded on October 8 and is looking for a job as a Sales Clerk. Being one of the first from the office on this new approach hasn't born any job placements for her. yet, but she is looking for a sales clerk position. She told the radio audience she has worked as a sales clerk for three years and is familiar with the use of a cash register. She said she relates well with people and has recently enrolled at the UBAVC to pursue business education. Chris Rose, another of the first recorded for Job Tracks, is from Roosevelt and is a medical secretary. She types 75 words per minute, has word processing skills, is familiar with medical terminology and is a graduate of the Rryman School. She is lixiking for work in the Roosevelt or Vernal area.
