Park Avenue Career Services (PACS) began its mission unofficially in 2012 - when our founder started pro bono resume services to people in career transition, and people who could not afford to pay a “market rate” for a professional resume.  As a HR professional and a Hiring Manager, she was able to provide polished resumes - working almost exclusively with people who earned less than $50,000 yearly. Additionally, pro bono services were offered for LinkedIn profile creation, mock interviewing, and career advice/consultation in the Nashville area. The resumes were very often successful, and people were thrilled with the results.  

 

In 2017, it was time to cast the net wider and help a constant, and larger population of people. Additionally, with the formation of a board and small, but dedicated volunteer base, we wanted to officially organize ourselves for success, and have the resources to assist more than a few people weekly. In 2018, we solidified our organizational leadership, and began networking to establish more community partners. Between the board members, volunteers, and business partnerships we successfully formed locally, there are several active volunteers available to provide classes and resources on the following topics: Labor Law, Interviewing Skills, Resume Writing, Personal Finance, Budgeting, Resume Writing, Career Website Navigation, Communication, Generational Difference in the Workplace, Body Language - and more!

 

It's 2019, and we've entered a new phase - ready for grant application and innovative fundraising ideas that showcase our organization's creative spirit and passion to serve others. Thank you for supporting us, and we look forward to working with you in the future.
