Texas Workforce Commission/Pasadena Workforce Solutions

• Employment Counselor

  • Jun 2009 - Jun 2013

  This was a temporary position of 6 months which lasted 4 years. My function was to better meet the needs of so many customers during a sluggish economy through a federally funded program. My function was matching unemployed workers to new jobs, and help alleviate other barriers to their future employment. The funding ran out when the economy improved, leading to my RIF. I am grateful for the ability to have helped people rediscover their confidence and talents. So much of an effective job search is simply the belief in oneself. Then it becomes an effort to make the most lasting impression among all the qualified candidates competing for the same job. Show less
