Attending secondary schools to give one on one interview practice
Amanda Carter, Stuart Templeton and Adam Savage took time out of their schedules last month to visit inner London secondary schools and provide some much needed interview practice to teenage students. The value of having professional adults - who are not teachers - fulfilling this role can not be overstated.
Over 30 members from the salesforce.com Marketing and Alliances team (and a few extra friends from R&D and IT) volunteered with A Living Library to plant over 50 trees at St. Mary's Park in San Francisco.
Six visually impaired students spent the day at the Stanes office of salesforce.com for a day of bespoke training. The day was organised by Screenreader.net, an organisation that provides free reading software for those that most need it. First they discovered that the salesfoce.com platform works perfectly with reading software, then they applied and received a grant from the salesforce.com foundation which they used to help six successful applicants attend a days training at our Staines office - maybe a world first?
In conjunction with The National Council of the Blind Ireland (NCBI), 25 salesforce.com employees from the Dublin office spent an afternoon socialising and shopping with a group of visually impaired adults.
