    1/8

    When I wasasked to

    write a story

    about one of

    my clients,

    I thought,

    Oh, that should be easy. But as I

    started to think about it, I realized this

    is not about one person getting a job,

    there are many people who succeeded

    their goal of landing a job by using

    our services.

    I initially

    wanted to writeabout Jim as he

    was our latest

    success story, but

    then I thought

    about Beth and

    Renee. Oh boy,

    I thought, what

    about Jenny who

    after meeting with

    our career counselor Mayra, felt the

    condence to consider a career transi-

    tion? Jenny is now working at City

    of Hope and giving back to Women

    At Work. What about Rosemarywho followed one of our leads and

    landed the job immediately? Guyane

    attended Job Club just about every

    week since January. One day she

    tells me she has an interview, we talk

    about it and two weeks later I noticed

    she had not attended Job Club. Her

    cousin informed me that she landed

    the job! Alice who said I am a teach-

    er- I know how to follow instruction.

    All these individuals are now in a

    position where they can pass on jobleads to Women At Work. Those are

    the leads that I will be sharing at Job

    Club. What a wonderful circle!

    LAPD called us and visited our

    center because they want to part-

    ner with us. They will be attending

    our Employer Forum in September.

    Mary Kay does free make-overs the

    last Monday of the month to assist

    our clients with treatments that will

    boost their self-

    esteem while in

    job search. Vonscomes to Job Club

    the second Monday

    of every month to

    speak to our Job

    Club attendees on

    Dos and Donts

    for Job Seekers.

    Dress for Suc-

    cess, a non-prot,

    fully clothes our clients who are in

    interview mode and will give them

    a full weeks wardrobe FREE after

    landing the job. We are going for the

    full package.There is so much going on with

    Job Development. Dress for success

    has asked us to participate as part of

    their team to run the LA Marathon

    in March 2012, with free training.

    I would love it if Women At Work

    becomes a part of that; that event is

    international! We already have one

    Job Club member who is interested

    in participating. I am sure Women

    At Work will fully support her if

    then I thought about

    SpecialThanks!to our Community Partners

    Its heartening to see the supportive interactionsbetween clients in our workshops and drop-ingroups. These forums provide a refuge from the

    challenges faced by so many in todays world ofwork.

    Often the personwho attends has losttheir livelihood of manyyears. Some havenever experiencedsearching for jobsonline, much lesscompleting an onlinejob application! Andthe thought of participating on social media is aforeign land.

    Group encounters are a refreshing place to ndmutual support and reassurance, by relating toothers in similar circumstances. Clients becomeacquainted with each others goals and share theirrelevant contacts, websites and other resources.Most of all, they share their rich experience ina related industry or company, including hiringpractices. Some have been HR reps or hiringmanagers, so theyre really able to provide theinside scoop.

    Self-condence is built through workshop activities,such as group discussion about the strengths ofmature workers, brainstorming to help someone

    identify their business niche, practicing in pairs forjob interviews, and learning how to use LinkedIntogether. Through this process, mentors andbuddies are found, who offer ongoing supportwith one anothers work search. The feedbackfrom such relationships helps clients plan their ownstrategy and activities.

    Groups provide a place to discover theyre notalone in their fears and challenges. They offer theknowledge, skills, and especially, the attitudes fornavigating this path, which sometimes feels like anoverwhelming obstacle course.
