Trisha had recently moved back to Australia after living in Ireland. At 63, she was concerned about her ability to find work easily.
She shared these fears with Job Coach, Aleksandra, at the Bondi Junction atWork Australia office.
Trisha had a lot of experience in retail and customer service and hoped to return to a job in the industry.
She was referred to atWork Australia’s wellness team so she could focus on reframing her thoughts about her age to improve her confidence.
Aleksandra focused on building two new resumes for Trisha based on her interests.
Trisha was provided with printed copies of her new resumes, ready to approach employers.
“I struggle to write a resume and popped in to see Aleksandra. She spent the next two hours redoing my resume to make sure it would be most effective and would grab the attention of anyone who read it,” said Trisha.
“I glammed myself up and with this most impressive resume in my back pocket, I felt super confident as I approached employers for work.”
“Trisha had a resume which represented her well and she was proud to present,” said Aleksandra.
Trisha visited two retails stores and received a job offer in both. She then applied through a role online and was offered that job as well. On her second day of job searching, Trisha had landed employment.
“From the offset, my Job Coach, Aleksandra was warm and welcoming,” said Trisha.
“What impressed me most about her, was that she always seemed to have time for you.”
atWork Australia supported Trisha with new work shoes for her job and will continue to support her as she settles into her new role.
“When you are looking for work and trying to find your feet it can be quite daunting, but Job Coach, Aleksandra, managed to reassure me from the very beginning,” said Trisha.
