Workforce Australia client Yulia was looking to return to work, after taking some time off to look after her children.
Despite having a strong background in business and operations, she was feeling lost at where to start on her journey to return to work.
She needed something different now to what she was doing before. Something more flexible so that she could still balance caring for her children. She also felt less confident in the workplace than she once had.
She was connected to Job Coach, Pravin, at the atWork Australia office in Ultimo.
With Pravin’s guidance, she explored roles such as administration, customer service, and business support.
Pravin worked with Yulia to help her identify not only her skills in leadership, administration, and customer service but also her resilience and adaptability.
Pravin helped her refine her resume, practice interview skills, and reframe her career narrative.
She was financially supported to enroll in a Certificate III in Business (Record Management).
Aware of her reliance on public transport, Pravin ensured all referrals to job opportunities were made to accessible locations. He also made sure they were flexible for her parenting responsibilities.
Pravin encouraged Yulia to go for jobs she would enjoy and helped her rebuild her confidence through continuous encouragement.
“Pravin always made me feel like I could reach out at any time, and that safety net meant a lot to me,” said Yulia.
Soon Yulia found a part time job working for an online bookstore.
“Yulia has transitioned from a place of self-doubt to one of confidence and direction,” said Pravin.
“She is looking forward to being part of a workplace where she can thrive and contribute meaningfully.”
“I never thought I could feel this confident again. Pravin’s constant efforts, belief in me and encouragement, gave me the strength to try,” said Yulia.
