We started winter on the right foot by expanding our team and hiring a Program Assistant to help with our programming and community events. Additionally, we hosted a successful Job Fair at the Sheet Metal Workers Local 36 to connect diverse talent with more St. Louis businesses and organizations. We are also excited to announce that our annual Adelante Awards gala will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel this year. The Hispanic Chamber Job Fair had 200 candidates attend and 38% of them were bilingual. Candidates attended this event searching for a job that fit their experiences and skills. Along with that, more than 65 vendors attended this event and were eager to present their companies to candidates. We are extremely grateful for their commitment to hire diverse candidates and want to continue to help companies connect with more talent. Our goal this year is to continue providing events that support the community and their evolving needs. We are extremely pleased to be able to contribute to the community with a variety of programs that help bring us all together.

HCC JOB FAIR CONNECTS DIVERSE TALENT TO LOCAL COMPANIES St. Louis employers had the opportunity to connect with 200 diverse candidates on Thursday, February 22 during the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s annual Job Fair. The event took place at the Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 36 Grand Hall in downtown St. Louis. The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s main purpose of hosting this event was to help the community, companies and organizations connect to diverse talent.

More than 65 employers, such as Volpi Foods, Inc., Carpenters Regional Council and the Sheet Metal Workers were seeking diverse candidates to assist them in growing their businesses. There were other companies, such as First Bank, Natures Bakery, Hollywood Casino and the St. Louis Cardinals that focused on bilingual candidates with experience in customer service, sales and administration.

Because of the growing demand for Bilingual talent, the HCC purposefully brings the same perspective to every Job Fair.

While Manpower, Mutual of Omaha and PepsiCo had open positions in sales, finance, marketing and administration. All of these companies and organizations were looking for applicants who qualified at different professional levels such as internship, entry and middlemanagement levels.

As a result, the HCC has developed additional support to job seekers by offering a Job Fair 101 program. This was an opportunity to prepare applicants prior to the Job Fair, as well as providing them with the opportunity to get acquainted with the expectations and requirements that specific businesses have.

The demand for bilingual workers in the city of St. Louis has increased as much as the need for highly qualified applicants. 38% of the candidates who attended this event were bilingual, and 44% had a bachelor’s degree, while 18% had a master's degree. These statistics confirm the amount of diverse candidates looking for entry-level and mid-level management positions.

“We all learn as we go and try to improve our support to the community by coming up with recommendations that will help both the company seeking to hire as well as those seeking employment.” said Karlos Ramirez, President & CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

The HCC partnered with a HR expert from Enterprise Holdings, Karen Huff, who provided recommendations on how to prepare a resume, interviewing tips and how to follow up with potential employers. Additionally, Huff and other HR experts met one on one with candidates to review resumes and conduct mock behavioral interviews. The vision of this program is to help prepare everyone on the expectations and requirements that specific businesses are seeking.

The Hispanic Chamber’s goal is to continue growing as an organization and expand the resources that partnerships offer to provide more assistance to the community of St. Louis.

THE HISPANIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE’S MAIN PURPOSE OF HOSTING THIS EVENT WAS TO HELP THE COMMUNITY, COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS CONNECT TO DIVERSE TALENT.

There has been a similar trend at a national level. “In 2010, there were roughly 240,000 job postings aimed at bilingual workers in the United States. But by 2015, that figure swelled to about 630, 000,” wrote Carmen Cusido, a freelance writer, on a NBC News article titled Report: Want the Job? Be Able to Say So in More than One Language. “The study also showed that bilingual workers were in demand for both low and high-skilled positions such as financial managers, editors, and industrial engineers”. 8

SEMINARIO SCORE IN ST. LOUIS

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BUSINESS CREDIT SCORE

Do you dream of starting a business? You are not alone — many share that dream. Obviously, just dreaming is not enough. It is important to know not only the business but also how to manage it, how to promote it, what resources exist to support you; starting with the creation of a business plan. The more prepared you are, the greater your chances of success.

Ask the Banker WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MY BUSINESS CREDIT SCORE?

The first thing you should know is that, technically, small businesses don’t have credit scores. Rather, lenders gauge your business’ financial reliability using primarily your personal credit score. In addition to reporting your repayment record, this score tells lenders how long you’ve been borrowing money and how many different forms of credit you have. In other words, if you are in the market for a small business loan, your personal credit score matters — a lot. Personal credit scores range from 300 to 850. A score of 700 or higher tells your lender that you’ve been done a good job of repaying mortgages, car and student loans and credit card bills on time. A lower score will not necessarily disqualify you. But it might limit your choices.

To that end, for the first time, SCORE St. Louis advisors conducted a series of seminars in Spanish at the offices of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in St. Louis earlier this year to help Spanish speaking entrepreneurs understand the ins and outs of managing and running a business. The participants discussed several topics such as:

HOW CAN I RAISE MY CREDIT SCORE?

• Where do I start?

The single most important thing you can do to raise your personal credit score is to pay your bills on time until a debt is paid off. You can also boost your score by limiting the amount of credit you use, which makes you a lower credit risk. You may also give your credit score a small boost by using several forms of credit: a mortgage, credit cards and a home equity line, for example.

• What is the correct legal structure for my business? • What should I know about licenses, taxes and insurance? • W hat technological considerations are important? for my business? • Introduction to financial aspects • Where do I get financing? • What are my next steps? The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis and SCORE understand how important it is to have a growing small business community and we are dedicated to supporting and helping the creation and growth of businesses through coaching, workshops and seminars, our Cámara en Vivo and Café with Business, as well as networking opportunities during Business After Hours. Learn more about the benefits of being a part of the chamber on our website at hccstl.com or by calling us at 314.664.4432. SCORE is a national non-profit association dedicated to training entrepreneurs, and helping small businesses launch, grow and achieve success. This network of volunteers represents 270,000 years of experience in 62 industries, and provides small business entrepreneurs with confidential business advice

services at no cost. You can learn more about SCORE services at: www.stlouis.score.org/score-en-espanol

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A STRONG

We thank the SCORE St. Louis advisors who presented during the seminars and the local SCORE St. Louis Chapter. Thanks to their dedication and commitment, it is the first time that these seminars are offered in Spanish in the St. Louis area.

Your business finances matter, too. Over time, your personal credit score may get less scrutiny as your business builds its own credit track record. Data-gathering companies like Dun & Bradstreet develop commercial credit and financial stress scores that lenders sometimes use to help make loan decisions. Creating a strong business credit profile not only makes it easier to get financing, but it can sometimes make your business eligible for lower insurance premiums and increase the likelihood that a landlord will take you on as a business tenant.

In sum, the lesson on credit scores is this: it pays to pay your bills on time.
