John was prepared for a great first impression
For years, Port Adelaide client, John, has battled with significant employment barriers, contributing to his lack of motivation and low energy levels. John was certain he would not find work, but his consultant Tania assured him otherwise.
At every appointment, Tania encouraged John to develop realistic goals and focused on getting him job ready. She also encouraged him to attend a Sureway Reset Day to hear from other PARTICIPANTS who had overcome significant barriers to employment. After hearing PARTICIPANTS tell their story John turned the corner. He was more positive, began exercising regularly, established some healthy eating habits and in time was ready to look for employment.
Not long after, John secured an interview with Gifts Galore Retail and asked Tania to help him prepare for the interview.
‘I was so happy and excited for John, but I could sense he was experiencing high anxiety,’ said Tania. ‘I spent as much time with John as I could until we both felt he was prepared. John aced the interview and was offered the Manager position at the Port Mall store. In just two weeks he was promoted to the General Manager of the store with his employer reporting that, John is who I have been looking for.’
John is now working part-time, has set himself new goals and is living the most independent life he has lived in a very long time.
‘My parent’s dream is to go to Scotland for a holiday and I plan on saving money to pay for them to go,’ said John. ‘It’s nice to have money to help them.’
