Nadia was diagnosed with a mental health disorder in 2023, which she manages with medication. She finds it reduces her motivation, and makes it more difficult for her to be in public and engage socially. Nadia joined our Creative Employment Options program hoping to gain confidence, and to find part-time employment that fits her schedule.

She began working with her Job Developer on her goals. Nadia learned how to properly format a resume and cover letter, as well as how to tailor each to specific job postings — she quickly understood the importance of standing out from other applicants during the application process.

Nadia also began working on her interview skills and how to make a positive first impression. She worked hard practicing common interview questions, and also worked on asking the employer questions after the interview to demonstrate her interest in the position.

Her dedication and perseverance applying to multiple jobs every week soon paid off. She aced an interview with a company offering work-from-home telemarketing work, and found part-time employment with the company — exactly what she was looking for!
