My name Kimiko Jackson-Valle and I work with the HandShake, and my job is
to provide part-time employments for qualified students during the academic
year and beyond. I have contacted you because there is an opening for you
at CDS and below are the lines from your potential employer:
My name is Dr. Marc Antonucci and I work as a clinical counselor for the
Center for Disability Services Council - New York Chapter (CDS) - This is a
virtual position so you do not need to travel to NY.
I provide individual and group therapy, coaching, assessment and academic
screenings to support students with disabilities (physical, chronic,
psychiatric, and invisible). A large percentage of the students served by
the mental health unit have psychiatric disabilities or co-morbid
psychiatric disabilities and need mental health support to be successful at
the University. In addition, many University of students with academic
difficulties and no prior diagnosis are seen and assessed through the
academic screening and assessment process. I also am the Director of
supervision, training and coordination of counseling psychology and
clinical psychology graduate students of the United States who have
practicums at SCDD and APA-accredited school psychology pre-doctoral
interns.
You have received this email to be considered for an offer from the
University Office for Students with Disabilities to work with me. This is
an at-will position that reports directly to me should you decide to accept
the Offer, you do not have to travel down to New York to occupy this
position as we are working in terms to open a chapter in your state.
I also have over 10 years of experience working with adults who have
problematic relationships, childhood issues, and who feel stuck in their
present life. It might be trauma, depression, anxiety, but whatever it is
we can help you get "unstuck" together and I enjoy doing this. I believe
everyone has potential to help themselves, but sometimes we need some
guidance.
This is a very simple employment. You will only help me mail letters, make
payments at Walmart and purchase some Items when needed. This employment
only takes 6 hours a day and 4 times a week for $620.00
I am unable to meetup for an interview because I am currently away and
helping the disabled students in Canada.
You will be paid in advance for all tasks and purchased to be done on my
behalf and some of my personal letters and mails will be forwarded to your
residence or nearby post office for you to pick up at your convenience.
Upon my arrival we will discuss the possibility of making this a long-term
employment if I am impressed with your services while I am away. My arrival
is scheduled for the last week of September 2019.
To be considered for this position, use your "alternate email (different
from school email)" to contact your employer directly by sending an email
with your details as follow:

Current Residential Address,
