Free ads aid Bluefield job seekers in three day offer
The Bluefield Daily Telegraph ran three days of free employment ads four weeks ago helping Patricia Haynes, Gary Wimmer, and Palmer Atwell find work. Haynes returned from Norfolk to Bluefield and secured a part time care job before starting at Bluefield Malt Care. Wimmer, previously a construction worker in North Carolina, was interviewed with three others and hired at Mountain Motor Sales for car detailing. Atwell, who did not land a position through the ads, soon found a full time job to support his family. The article notes the ads boosted local employment and provided timely work amid recent jobless periods.
