45-year-old Kerry O’Brien’s work coach at the Job Centre told her about a Yes to the Job course which aims to help people develop their personal and employability skills to improve their future job prospects.
Kerry said: “Having been self-employed for many years before finding myself out of work, I had lost my confidence. My CV was not up to date and the search for work seemed overwhelming, so my work coach at the Job Centre told me about this course.
“Since attending the course, I have regained confidence and belief in my abilities, and updated my CV.
“The support, encouragement and knowledge the tutor brought to the lessons, has been life changing – I have renewed self-confidence and have started applying for jobs in the sector that interests me most.”
