Kristine found a great job during COVID-19 crisis thanks to CareerForce
Dear Brooklyn Park CareerForce Center staff,
I'd like to take a few moments to thank you for the exceptional services you provide to job seekers and the community.
I was laid off from my job in mid-February (right before the COVID-19 impacts started to hit). This was my first time being unemployed in 10 years and I wasn't sure how to navigate the job search waters after such a long time. I was a little apprehensive about going through the job search process again, but immediately decided to take advantage of several of the training classes offered at the Brooklyn Park CareerForce Center location.
Specifically, I attended the Interviewing Basics class, taught by Pam; Creative Job Search and Job Search Over 40, both taught by Robin; and LinkedIn Advanced Strategies. All of the classes were so informative, practical, and beneficial. I was blown away! Robin also offered 1:1 assistance to attendees in whatever area they may need additional help, in which I took advantage of to review my cover letter. Overall, the level of care and support exuded from the staff, the engaging classes, and variety of services was above and beyond what I expected.
I'm happy to report that I recently received not one, not two, but three amazing offers of employment from two excellent companies. Even with the unique circumstances and impacts from COVID-19 that unfolded during my job search, I'm extremely grateful for finding a new job in only 2 1/2 months, and having the luxury of choosing between three equally interesting and exciting opportunities. This wouldn't have been possible without the CareerForce Center and all of the amazing services they provided to guide and assist me during such an uncertain time in my career.
Thank you again, Robin, Pam and the Brooklyn Park CareerForce Center! I am truly grateful for your work in our community!
Kristine
