Shelly
Workforce Challenge:
Shelly worked as an Administrative Director at Los Altos YMCA for 7 months prior to being laid off. She survived a 22 month layoff by working part-time at Weingart-Lakewood Family YMCA. In April 2015, Shelly was referred to SELACO-WIB from a YMCA member. The biggest challenge for Shelly was that temp agencies were not very helpful to her in her job search.
Workforce Solution:
Shelly came to SELACO WIB in Cerritos in April 2015. She was assigned a case manager, and attended job search workshops. She stated she was looking for full-time work in the construction industry. She was able to find what she was looking for and more. Shelly stated that SELACO WIB helped her revamp her résumé and provided positive and motivating workshops.
Outcome & Benefits:
In May 2015, Shelly answered an ad for an Office Manager at Industrial High Voltage on Monster.com. Days later, she received a call that she had been offered the job. When asked would she recommend SELACO WIB to others, she said; “Of course!” When asked what advice she would give to current and new customers, she said; “Keep an open mind and learn as much as you can!” Shelly further stated; “SELACO WIB helped me with my résumé and helped me by being all around positive people! The workshops were helpful and gave me a chance to meet new people.”
Congratulations Shelly!
