Client: Juanita

Department: Career Services
My name is Juanita Alvarez, and I would like to share my experience with Workforce
Development, which has significantly impacted my professional growth. The
program has equipped me with essential skills in navigating labor market information,
encompassing industry sectors, occupations, and company research. Under the guidance
of my case manager, Mrs. June, I received invaluable support in crafting a refined and
professional resume, tailored to capture the attention of potential employers on platforms
such as CalJOBS, Indeed, and Linkedln. Additionally, Mrs. June's assistance in completing
employment applications in a professional manner have notably contributed to heightened
interest from employers and increased interview invitations.
One particularly advantageous aspect has been the personalized guidance I received in
tailoring cover letters to specific job openings and sending follow-up thank you letters via
email. The mock interview sessions have also been profoundly beneficial, enhancing my
confidence and refining my communication skills for professional presentations and
effective listening during interviews.
Furthermore, my case manager has offered continuous support in goal setting, skill ·
assessment, and mindset management to help me overcome barriers. This included
comprehensive skill set assessments to identify my interests within my field of work and
understand the expectations of potential employers, ultimately leading to increased self-reliance in securing long-term employment.
In addition to the professional development aspect, my case manager has provided
invaluable information on creating a household budget, understanding credit, and
developing saving plans to make informed financial decisions. Thanks to the assistance I
received from the Stanislaus County Workforce Development and my case manager, Mrs.
June, I am now gainfully employed as a full-time Workforce Specialist with Sierra Vista
Child and Family Services. I am exceptionally grateful for the support I have received and
the opportunities that have come my way through the program.
Thank you,
Sincerely
Juanita Alvarez
