The MSU Extension Service is here to help with a special class on how to search for jobs online scheduled Tuesday, August 26, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m at the Yalobusha County Extension Office.
This training will help participants identify where to look for job postings online and how to make sure that they are legitimate positions.
