Sharon has and was finding it difficult to keep a job because of her health. She was looking for help finding work when she came across a 今日吃瓜51 advertisement in the newspaper. After discussing the Employ-Ability program with Prairie Regional Manager, Nikki Lamb, Sharon enrolled in the program.
鈥I have learned a lot. I was shocked at how much I could put into a resume,鈥 says Sharon. 鈥Some of the best things I learned were the resume and cover letters, along with the informational interviews and mock interviews.鈥
Sharon really enjoyed the personality assessment portion of the program. 鈥I thought that it defined me just about to a 鈥楾鈥. It also gave me insight into who I am and what I can possibly do,鈥 says Sharon. 鈥But most of all, I liked Wellness for Work because I have self-confidence issues that I have to build. The goal setting part is very good for me too, because I am a great procrastinator. Wellness for Work has helped me with a lot of issues I have been dealing with for a very long time.鈥
Sharon also learned about the different Assistive Technology options that were available to help her with her arthritis. 鈥I am going to learn to use . I have lots of trouble typing so I think this will help me.”
鈥I have a very positive feeling I will get a job in Data Processing or Bookkeeping,鈥 says Sharon. 鈥The EA program has boosted my confidence. I was at a very low place in my life for a while, but I am back up and running. Thank you for the benefit of the EA Program.鈥
Good luck, Sharon!
