MDS CAA Retired & Senior Volunteer Program
"The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of the Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency (MDS CAA) has a fulltime Director and a 32 hour a week Supervisor/Secretary; this Program includes the counties of Delta, Menominee, Schoolcraft in MI and Marinette County in WI.
With the retirement of the Supervisor/Secretary we needed assistance in recruiting and testing the applicants. Thanks to the efforts of Amy Berglund, Sean Depuydt and staff, we stayed on target. Out of 30 applicants, 14 were tested on Wonderlic, which we reviewed and asked Amy and Sean to test 6 individuals for computer skills testing. The testing brought us up to four candidates for interviewing which was scheduled for Thursday, June 30, 2005 with the new employee starting on Tuesday, July 5, 2005.
MI Works! Service Center was so efficient that we were able complete the interview process in a timely manner. Again thank you for sharing your expertise with RSVP."
