Now you can!  A local HR professional has offered to start this question board for us and to answer your questions openly and honestly. The only caveat is they also asked to remain anonymous.
 
To pose your question, send an email to asktheexpert@hopejobministry.org. We'd also like your feedback if this is useful or how we can improve your chances to get back into the job force.
 
"Ask the Expert" is for JOB RELATED questions only. If you have questions about HOPE Job Support Ministry, please direct them to pat@hopejobministry.org or info@hopejobministry.org.
