Turning a Year-Long Job Search into Weeks

Sheryl Shankar, one of our very qualified Employment Placement Specialists, worked with a client who had been searching for a career for nearly a year without success. Within just a few weeks of working with Sheryl, the client received multiple interviews and secured a job that aligned with her skills and experience. Despite living in a rural area, the client was accommodated with virtual meetings, making the process smooth and accessible. The added support of the Wage Subsidy program further enhanced their employment prospects. In the client’s words: “Now, I’m on my third day of my new job and I couldn’t be happier! If you’re looking for a new job, I’d absolutely recommend working with Sheryl and WorkBC.”

Empowering Career Seekers of All Backgrounds

WorkBC Maple Ridge has proven invaluable to many, including individuals re-entering the workforce after years away.

However, with the support of WorkBC’s Resource Centre, she quickly gained confidence, participated in job fairs and workshops, and enrolled in Douglas College’s Encore Careers 55+ program. In this client’s words: “My future feels exciting.I really would encourage any one to walk in to WorkBC and start the process, especially those who feel they no longer have anything of value to offer or the the skills necessary to find meaningful employment. You do and they’ll help you realise that.”
