After working with MSCCN, Sandra was hired by HP Inc.
Hiring Challenges:
·Because I didn’t know how the job seeking process works in the U.S. I wasted time, almost a year. A few months later, I learned about CASY & MSCCN at a job fair.
·Since I am an immigrant, I had to compete with local professionals and that discouraged me sometimes.
·Since I didn’t have any employment experience in the U.S. before, I had no way to prove my professional experience.
Assistance Received:
·I took several online classes about targeting my resume, the job search, interviews, social media and networking, and LinkedIn.
·An Employment Specialist from CASY & MSCCN (Angelene Green) checked my resume and suggested improvements to it before I submitted it to a job posting.
·I also had a mock interview with my ES, Angelene, before my job interview.
Result of Assistance:
·A good and well written resume.
·Confidence about my knowledge and abilities.
·Confidence about applying for different jobs.
·Getting a job.
Value of Experience: I am glad that organizations like CASY & MSCCN exist. I was completely lost as a job seeker last year, and they gave me the right guidance to fulfill my goal of getting a job. As an immigrant, I feel proud to say that I am finally practicing my profession in this country thanks to them. It is also nice that they consider the difficult situations that military and Veterans spouses can face as unemployed individuals. I’ll always be grateful for your assistance.
Congratulations, Sandra!
