Program seeks edge for job seekers Project Find may not provide a job, but it tries to give people an edge: [A Edition]

Abstract

Each week, Bill Harris and Shaunda Jeter welcome a new group of jobless Hartford residents to their small office at Greater Hartford Community College.

Jeter and Harris are upbeat when speaking to the newcomers. They have seen their share of success stories. But they also know how tough finding a job can be in an economy battered by almost four years of recession and corporate retrenchment.

Jeter says she and Harris can organize practice interviews for those who feel uneasy about the process. And she tells them how important it is to keep her and Harris informed of the progress of their job hunt.
