Carolynn N.

Carolynn dedicated herself to her role in a well-known retail company. However, life took an unexpected turn when she was laid off. Carolynn decided to turn this setback into an opportunity for personal and professional growth.  With a background in the medical field, Carolynn contemplated returning to her roots. However, the job market proved to be a tough terrain, and after submitting 60 applications and 8 interviews, she felt disheartened.

Carolynn found support and encouragement at Michigan Works! Southeast. The MWSE support extended beyond mere advice; actively assisting Carolynn in her job search, providing valuable insights that set her apart in interviews.  She attended multiple workshops that equipped her with the latest industry insights, resume-building techniques, and interview strategies tailored to the medical field.

Armed with newfound confidence and knowledge, Carolynn applied for positions in the medical field once again. After a series of well-prepared interviews, Carolynn secured a full-time position at an Urgent Care facility conveniently close to her home. The offer came with an acceptable starting salary, and Carolynn was a promised raise after just 60 days on the job.

“Take advantage of every workshop offered: be bold in your applications; try something new or expand your horizons.” – Carolynn N.
