My start with HireAbility Vermont:
I’ve always been a waitress, always on my feet and on the go because I like to keep busy. After my injury, I began to see myself in more of an office environment, more of a career, but unsure of how to get there. I was really discouraged, feeling like I’d never had a career and I’d never get my own place. I was totally defeated at that point. With support from HireAbility Vermont, I began to move forward.
My Vocational Counselor sends me job leads in the administrative field, which keeps me motivated to set my focus more on that in the future. It’s been a year now since I’ve been in my own place. HireAbility Vermont helped me get my laptop for school and helped me get set up with classes. It’s like night and day, I’ve just come so far. I’m really proud that I’m in a great place. My environment is just so much better, I feel 100% better. I have hope now, and I have a positive outlook. At this point, I’m definitely on the right path.
