ABOUT US
Secretary & Director of Perception Is Everything, Inc. Throughouther career as a Supervisor, Manager, and Administrator, Ms. Henry-Gilroy saw a glaring need for applicants to know their weaknesses and have them addressed before applying for a job and appearing for an interview, hence giving them a chance to carve out their piece of the employment "PIE". We, therefore, do business as (dba) P.I.E., Inc., providing interviewing & jobapplication counseling to low-income job seekers and youth. Our target clientele consists of low-income high-school and college students and graduates, the homeless, our veterans, the unemployed and the uninformed from low-income families who are seeking employment. The not-for-profit organization was incorporated on June 2, 2011, because our Board of Directors concurred on the degree of urgency in low-income communities due largely to a lack of the services we now provide. Our approach is to conduct seminars or information sessions on appropriate business attire and hygiene, business communication and grammar, business etiquette, the job application process, including applicant rights, interviewing do's and don'ts with skits demonstrating the interview process and realistic career choices based upon education, experience and skills. We also provide referrals to adult education centers, job training facilities, recruiters and human resources managers associated with our program.

As a member of the Board of Directors, Daniel has contributed to the creation of the not-for-profit organization and to the design and content of the introductory marketing and seminar training materials used by PIE, Inc.

Clover Henry-GilroyDirector, Treasurer & SecretaryClover Henry-Gilroy has had a successful career in business management (including responsibility for recruiting and interviewing candidates for employment and hiring and training new employees), supporting executive management, staff management, information systems, bookkeeping, benefits administration, facilities & records management, events management and marketing. With such a varied set of skills, she is willing and able to share proven, successful job search and interviewing techniques with low-income candidates for employment. In the current economic environment, there are now more exigent circumstances under which our economically challenged communities are seeking employment, hence the need is more apparent than in prior years. Clover created PIE, Inc. with Daniel Gilroy in order to fulfill a dream she has had for many years since working in New York and then in Florida, to improve the employment odds for the underprivileged by offering free sessions which would instruct those candidates in areas where they were deficient. She is quite passionate about this endeavor, as its success in getting our low-income students and graduates, the homeless, veterans or the unemployed to work would not only benefit our community in general, but our state and nation as a whole. She is responsible for the administration of the corporation and she contributes in all sessions of the program.
