Workforce Australia client, Bei had recently graduated from an interior design course. Her excitement quickly declined when she was unable to find work in the industry.
Having been out of work for around eight years while she studied, Bei was feeling disheartened.
She felt pressure around the expectation to find work quickly after completing the qualification.
“Bei started to feel she was not good enough,” said Job Coach, Viviana.
Viviana connected Bei to our internal Wellness Services for support with her mental health during this time.
During her appointments, Bei received encouraging words of support from Job Coach, Viviana. Bei expressed that she no longer wished to pursue interior design due to the impact it was having on her.
Viviana provided advice and guidance on different kinds of work she could pursue and provided interview clothes so Bei could feel more confident.
Soon Bei gained a casual job in a supermarket. However, the hours were limited.
Viviana continued to work with Bei, coaching her in how to request additional hours from her employer, and checking in with her to ensure she was still happy in her role.
Bei is now working up to 30 hours a week in the supermarket.
“Viviana is a professional lady. Very easy-going and always with smile on her face,” said Bei.
“She explains the problem simply and clearly and listens to me patiently.”
“Viviana uses her words to encourage you and strengthen your confidence,” said Bei.
