Description
I’m Tistant, from Columbus. I process claims at a cell phone company.
After I was laid off from my previous job in June of 2009, it was difficult to find another job that suited my needs. Fortunately, I heard about the Workforce Development program at Goodwill Columbus and how it provides job-seeking assistance to individuals with disabilities. I decided to give it a try. Just three months later, I found employment. I credit the Workforce Development
program for helping me land that job.
The Workforce Development program offers a variety of classes, from writing a good resume and cover letter to interviewing skills. I discovered that I have more skills than I originally thought. The program really opened my eyes and made me look at my past experiences and how I could transfer those skills to my current job search. I went from being worried and overwhelmed about finding a job that would make me financially stable to being thankful for the services I received.
I want other people with disabilities to know that if they are looking for a job, Goodwill can help.
