Bill self-referred on Feb 22, 2024. Having been laid off from his previous job in November and relying on EI, Bill faced challenges due to ongoing shoulder and neck issues resulting from a work-related accident several years ago. Despite these setbacks, Bill remained determined to find employment and actively applied for local positions. The facilitator worked closely with Bill to review and enhance his resume while exploring relevant job opportunities.

Bill discovered a promising position at Inn Hotels through Indeed and applied right away. When he didn’t hear back, the facilitator encouraged Bill to reach out directly to the company, resulting in an interview opportunity. His determination impressed them, and Bill was offered the position joining a dynamic maintenance crew of three individuals. His role carries a starting wage of $28.00 per hour, with exciting prospects for potential advancement to lead the next crew. He is thrilled, particularly given the attractive locations of the properties, including Canmore, Jasper, and Banff.

Bill expressed his gratitude for the support and encouragement provided by the employment facilitator during a very challenging period of self-doubt, Bill emphasized the significance of her assistance in securing meaningful employment.
