TEWKSBURY JOB SEEKERS NETWORK – Dealing With Ageism During The Job Search ON ZOOM (RR): 2 p.m. July 6. Ageism is illegal, prevalent and almost impossible to prove. Many courses and workshops say you must use “age to advantage,” but then tell you to hide your age. This workshop doesn’t do that. This session will spy ageism and discuss the best strategies for dealing with it. Topics include: History of ageism and relevant court cases; why you must change your orientation; marketing yourself; when they will hire you; steps you must take and how to behave; and perceptions and how to deal with them. Led by Edward Lawrence, the founder and principal of Getstarted LLC, through which he offers practical job-search advice, resume-writing services, and assessments (skills and behavioral) to help people gain meaningful employment or transition to a new career. A certified technical trainer (Comptia CTT+) for over 30 years, Ed himself transitioned to coaching and soft-skills training by studying under some of the area’s best counselors, and by volunteering with agencies, such as The Institute for Career Transitions and Career Collaborative. He is a certified professional resume writer (CPRW) and is certified in Myer-Briggs (MBTI), DISC and Skillscan. For over three years, he has facilitated a practice-interview group at the Framingham Public Library. Ed currently works as a group leader for the Mass Council on Aging 50+ Jobseeker Program, and is the resume writer for the Framingham Public Library.
Laughter Circle ON ZOOM (RR): 7 p.m. July 6. This program is for all ages. This program combines voluntary laughter exercises with gentle breathing techniques to teach the body how to laugh without relying on jokes or humor. This is a participatory program where we will create moments to comical in through guided actions. No need to bring a yoga mat — most of the program is seated, with options for standing or gentle movement. What are the benefits of laughter? Mood elevates. Stress, depression and tension decrease. Immunity improves. Lung capacity increases through deep breathing, enhancing oxygen delivery to all parts of the body. Endorphin and serotonin levels rise. Laughter provides an excellent internal massage to digestive tract as well as improving blood supply to the internal organs. People who laugh don’t worry as much as people who don’t laugh.
Sea Otters Return From Near Extinction -- An Adorable Comeback Story ON ZOOM (RR): 7 p.m. July 7. Sea otters are adorable, furry marine mammals that were once hunted for their prized fur during the 1700s and 1800s and nearly went extinct. Only now, nearly a century after hunting ceased, are populations showing putrid growth in some places. Sea otters are a keystone species in coastal areas, feeding on sea urchins, clams, crab and other crustaceans. When they are present, kelp beds are thick and healthy, providing homes for an array of sealife. When otters disappear, sea urchins take over, and the kelp disappears along with all of the creatures that live in the beds. Now, thanks to their protected status, sea otters are making a comeback in California, Washington and Alaska. Science journalist Todd McLeish will share stories, phtoos and videos of his journey along the Pacific Coast to track the status, health, habits, personality and viability of sea otters. Todd McLeish is a science writer with four published books, all on natural history topics: “Return of the Sea Otter,” “Narwhals,” “Basking with Humpbacks” and “Golden Wings and Hairy Toes: New England Wildlife.” He is a popular public speaker on cruise ships and at museums and environmental centers and has published articles on wildlife topics in dozens of publications, including Earthwatch Journal, Bird Watcher’s Digest, WildBird and Rhode Island Monthly.
Identifying & Attracting Backyard Birds ON ZOOM (RR): 10:30 a.m. July 8. Have you always wanted to know what birds are visiting your yard or frequenting your birdfeeder? Can’t tell the difference between a Purple Finch and a House Finch? Dr. Steve Hale will offer tips on identifying our resident and migrant feathered friends, and let us know what to feed them to attract a diverse population. Audience members will also have the opportunity to test their own knowledge of birds. Dr. Steve Hale is the owner and operator of Open World Explorers, which runs guided birding tours in New Hampshire. Steve is also a professor and researcher at the University of New Hampshire where he earned his doctorate in natural resources. He previously worked as a bird observer in the White Mountain National Forest.
