Rotary Club
The Mars Hill Rotary Club met on Tuesday, June 12, at 6:30 a.m. at the Aroostook Health Center.
The guest speaker was Pete Lento from the Presque Isle CareerCenter. He spoke of the unemployment rate, which is the lowest it has been in years.
Most jobs now require some computer skills, he said. Some jobs have requirements that make it hard for some to gain employment, such as a criminal history or a history of drug use.
He recommends that people train for what they would like to do that is marketable in the area that they plan to settle in. Typically a college student will change their minds about their career path while in school as they learn more options available in their chosen field. People will also typically have several career changes during their lifetime.
