I Am, You Are, We Are!
Hey, Vermilion County! We’ve really been enjoying our interviews and getting to know some of the wonderful people in our community. We hope you have been enjoying their stories too! But!!! We need more nominations to keep this initiative going. We are taking this week off in hopes you will share this post.
To find his passion, Sean Aiken worked 52 jobs in 52 weeks. He turned what he learned into a career as an author, speaker, and movie maker. You can do it, too: Treat your life like a laboratory. Try a new hobby. Or restart an old one. Volunteer. Get a part-time job. Start a business on the side. You don’t need to make major commitments. Just test new things to find your passion. It leads to BIGG success! Get more tips from BIGG Success here.
Community Tours
We can help with your Professional Recruitment and/or Short- or Long-Term Rental Needs – Vermilion Advantage can help our members with professional recruitment by taking your new employees or employment candidates on a (free) Community Tour. We can also help your current or new employees with rental referrals – we keep a word-of-mouth list of available home and apartment rentals, also including some furnished short-term corporate rentals, that the public may not be aware of through other channels. In addition, we have some lovely extended-stay hotel suite options. And, if you have professional rental properties coming available, make sure Nicole has your property on her list! Questions? Call Nicole at 217-442-6201 or email her at nvanhyfte@vermilionadvantage.com.
