“I’m in Transition to Work (TtW) service with ETC and I see Dee who has been really nice and helpful. She put me through some workshops to build my resume and interview skills.”

– Rainer (TtW Participant)

My main problem was I couldn’t make a decision. TtW helped me make a decision and secure a paid work trial at the QT hotel with its Head Chef. My family is so proud of me, I know I don’t have a permanent job yet – but I have 4 weeks paid work experience and I know if I do the right thing and stay positive there is an opportunity for me to be offered an apprenticeship. It feels so good to see my Mum proud. I use to spend 11 hours gaming and rush around and do chores before my Mum got home, but now the others will have to do them because I will be at work!

I had no idea that some cover letters are scanned for key words and that sometimes a person never reads my entire cover letter or application. I used to feel so judged and rejected, after not hearing back about all the jobs I apply for. Now I know the trick to writing a great cover letter and all I need to put in it to get through to an interview. I don’t get as upset anymore if I miss out on an interview, I just try harder next time.

The workshops are the highlight of my week. They have helped build my confidence and I’ve been getting interviews for the jobs I apply for with the help of ETC doing up my resume and cover letter. I now know how to change it myself and feel confident looking for work

I love the workshops, I really enjoy the facilitator she is great and I have made good friends too. Everyone is super nice and I always feel great after attending

I really enjoyed Discovery Day, we went to the Billabong Factory Outlet and took a tour through the shop. The people there gave me a lot of information and I now know I would love to work in retail, or do Visual Merchandising.
