how Ms. Rareshide presents<br />

her workshops and goes<br />

above and beyond to help<br />

attendees, stating that "[Ms.<br />

Rareshide] has valuable<br />

business knowledge and she<br />

handles development issues<br />

very well. Her knowledge is<br />

vast and remains valid."<br />

In creating this series,<br />

Rareshide considered the<br />

needs of people at different<br />

stages of life and included<br />

topics for those looking to<br />

change careers, those who<br />

have been out of the<br />

workforce and who want to<br />

return after a long hiatus,<br />

and even for those trying to<br />

cope with retirement. For<br />

entrepreneurs, Rareshide<br />

created "Corporation of<br />

One", a popular workshop<br />

where she emphasizes the<br />

need to create and maintain<br />

a personal brand.<br />

April Martin, the Adult<br />

Programs leader at the main<br />

branch of the New Orleans<br />

Public Library adds, ?the<br />

workshops address soft<br />

skills such as interviewing<br />

and confidence techniques<br />

along with more traditional<br />

job readiness training like<br />

resume building? in<br />

describing the successful<br />

Workforce Development<br />

Series where library patrons<br />

obtain the tools they need to<br />

present themselves to<br />

potential employers as<br />

prepared and qualified<br />

candidates.<br />

The New Orleans Public<br />

Library invites New Orleans<br />

residents to visit their<br />

venues and discover all the<br />

programs offered<br />

throughout the city and to<br />

take advantage of the vast<br />

knowledge and expertise of<br />
