If you still haven't heard, we're giving away free seats to the unemployed in our virtual and in-person NYC Salesforce admin training courses from now until the end of May. We've been collecting unemployment stories and will continue to share them. Again, thank you to everyone that has taken the time to send us your videos! The first story is a submission by Wanda Taylor. Wanda is in IT and is unemployed. She has applied to jobs on a daily basis and has had trouble getting an interview. Wanda believes that our free Salesforce training will help her get the skills she needs to land the job she desires.

This second video is a submission by Rose Riskind. Rose has been a recruiter for almost 20 years and is unemployed. She has had trouble finding work because she does not have Salesforce experience. Additionally, she feels she has experienced ageism as she continues to apply to jobs.

52% of US companies report difficulty finding jobs. 47% of employers blame a prospect's lack of job or technical skills. 13.9 million Americans are out of work.

Please send us your unemployment story. Submit your video to pinkslipnyc@bluewolfgroup.com.
