Connie’s Story Continues…..


The Looking Glass Consignment Shop had to generate additional income in order to hire Connie as their first employee.  They recently opened up the new store in Clarksburg, West Virginia, and needed additional racks, hangers, displays and software for their computer to display and tag the merchandise that was being brought in for consignment. 




Through a service known as Resource Ownership, Job Squad sponsored a grant which was given to Connie, allowing her to purchase the needed equipment for their business.  Connie owns the equipment, which generates additional revenue and, in turn, affords The Looking Glass the opportunity to offer Connie employment, working 25 hours a week to start. 



 


 
We are also negotiating with the business owners for Connie to open her own business within their business.  It will be known as Connie’s Corner”.  We are in the process of planning for this next adventure with Connie and The Looking Glass.  Through this opportunity, Connie will be able to increase her hours of work per week at the store.




Connie totally enjoys her employment with The Looking Glass.  Not only does she see Shell and Beth Hoskinson, owners of The Looking Glass, at work, but she also sees them at church - all part of social networking. :o)
