Sharon’s career transition triumph
Meet Sharon Evans, a resilient individual in her early 60s, who spent an impressive 30 years working for a single employer. While loyalty is commendable, it also posed a unique challenge for Sharon when it came time for a career change. Navigating the digital landscape of the current job market seemed like an overwhelming task, compounded by the fact that Sharon had never have to create a resume.
One of the challenges that Sharon faced was adapting to the digital demands of the job market. Her consultant has recognised this and provided tailored support to enhance Sharon’s digital skills. Through personalised tutoring and encouragement, Sharon gained the confidence needed to navigate the ever-evolving world of technology.
Crucial to Sharon’s success was the support and guidance of Belinda Scales, Sarina Russo Job Access Career Transition Assistance Coach. Belinda has worked closely with Sharon to set achievable goals, ensuring she felt comfortable and confident in her newfound digital skills. Through extra tuition and motivational pep talks, Sharon was empowered to engage with an employment consultant and break through the isolation that often accompanies reliance on digital services.

This document became a powerful tool in opening doors to potential employers and since completing the CTA course Sharon has secured a contract position. The CTA program has equipped her with a toolkit, hence, enhancing her prospects in the competitive job market.
