Finding work in a new town can be difficult. You might not know the local job market or have any personal connections to lean on for support. Plus, the whole whirl wind of moving can be overwhelming, daunting, and a busy time of life. Making finding employment extremely difficult.
When Andre moved from Victoria to Warrawong, NSW, he needed assistance to secure his next employment opportunity. Not only was Andre trying to navigate a new job market, but he also lived with anxiety and depression, which was further impacting his ability to find employment. To speed up the process of securing employment, Andre connected with atWork Australia’s Workforce Australia team in Warrawong.
When Andre met his Job Coach, Anita, he shared he had previously worked in Youth Work and Administration roles. He also had a few tickets, including a Forklift ticket, White Card, First-aid and his Driver’s License. Anita reassured Andre that he had the abilities and experience that many employers desire, and now with atWork Australia’s local knowledge and connections, she was confident he would be able to secure employment.
As a starting point, Anita helped Andre to update his resume, so it accurately reflected his skills and experience.
Following this, the pair worked together to identify suitable vacancies and developed strong applications. Soon enough, Andre secured multiple interviews. After each interview, Andre and Anita would debrief and look at how Andre could be continuously improving his interview skills.
From the very first day Andre walked through the door, he was always confident and enthusiastic about finding employment. His hard work, consistent effort, and willingness to accept Anita’s guidance has now rewarded him with a new employment opportunity as an Office Administrator.
Andre was thrilled with this new opportunity and said, “Thank you atWork Australia. The support and guidance have been amazing. ”
“Your support has helped make my move a lot more comfortable. Thank you,” said Andre.
