My Nonprofit Reviews

I am an employment consultant with Goodwill Industries, I assist clients that need assistance with finding and maintaining employment, some clients have works skills, some have never worked or have not been in the work field in many many years, Everyone that wants to work should have that chance, and that opportunity, and the ones that want this are very eager, and always give it their all, I speak with employers and try to show them hiring my clients is a benefit for them, and they don't just get my client, they also get me.

After graduation from high school, Walter Barb needed assistance through Vocational Rehab to get a job. He was referred to Goodwill SWFL's Pathways to Work program and job coach, Maryjane Nickerson. After one-the-job training, Walter got a job a Walmart. But, Walter didn't like the atmosphere at Walmart, and remembered that Goodwill had a Job Link Center that helped people apply for jobs. Walter took it upon himself to go to the Goodwill Job Link Center, where Sabrina (the Goodwill coordinator) helped him fill out an application for the Port Charlotte Goodwill store, and coached him on interviewing skills. Walter went on the interview and was given the opportunity to work full-time. Walter has been at Goodwill for 5 years now, and loves his job. He now is able to live independently, and has even been able to buy his own house.
