WorkBC found Kristen the perfect fit

Kristen was capable of achieving more than she thought

Kristen was a stay-at-home mom for many years. When her children were older, Kristen began seeking additional purpose, and more income. She turned to WorkBC Centre Merritt for help as she wasn’t sure what kind of work would be the right fit with her visual impairment, and her skills.

With one-on-one support from an employment counsellor, Kristen was able to identify the ideal work conditions to match her capabilities and interests.

After years of thinking she couldn’t find work, Kristen found confidence after connecting with her employment counsellor. WorkBC not only helped her update her resume and cover letter but also assisted her to promote herself to local employers. Before long she landed a job working with seniors in a supportive environment that accommodates her vision impairment.

What seemed impossible, was now a reality. “WorkBC did a good job finding a good fit for me,” she said. “Go to WorkBC because they have a wide range of services, not just job search.”
