When Disability Employment Services client, Miriam, first walked into the atWork Australia office she had low self-confidence.
She was living with medical conditions including mental health and had lost her spark.
In her first appointment she broke down, but her Job Coach, Mukesh, encouraged Miriam to take small steps at a time.
They started by exploring her skills and interests, while updating her resume. Mukesh discovered Miriams abilities and love for content writing.
He shared useful links and information so Miriam could look further into copywriting as an option when she was ready.
Mukesh worked with Miriam at the stage she was at, he didn’t push her into just any job.
With consistent contact, motivation and mentoring, Mukesh was able to set a new goal for Miriam which was to apply for an advertised role.
As Miriam began applying for copywriting jobs, her passion and drive began to grow. After further research, she let Mukesh know that she had decided to pursue self-employment.
“I was really impressed and appreciated Miriams positive approach to gaining work,” said Mukesh.
“I sent her further links and information about setting up her own business, and we got her started with a registered domain for a website.”
Despite the highs and lows, Miriam continued to persevere and kept working towards her business objectives.
Then Miriam started to gain work.
“After all this effort, she is not only enjoying the job but has also developed more confidence in herself,” said Mukesh.
“Mukesh’s support, guidance, and encouragement have made a significant difference in my journey,” said Miriam.
“I am very grateful for their dedication and the positive impact they’ve had on my career path.”
“atWork Australia have been incredibly helpful and kind in assisting me to re-enter the workforce,” said Miriam.
