I went into the employment service unsure of what it would be like, I thought it would be more like: here's a job, and that was it.
However, it is so much more than that. You are always getting supported, and you get to look at jobs and careers that you would be really interested in and that suits you best.
The support is unbelievable, they don't just care about if you get a job, they care about you and your wellbeing too.
I also thought if I got a job that would be the end of the help and support, but it isn't, you will be supported as much or as little as you like throughout your work experience too.
I got help with interview style and questions that could come up; which was so helpful because it meant I was able to prep for my interviews and not be as anxious before them.
While meeting with Jo I spoke to my boyfriend about how good and supportive the service is, and it has made him also thinking about applying to the service for the extra support.
Even though I haven't been with the service for long, I already feel like I am so many more steps in the right direction than I was beforehand. So I am thankful to Jo for all her hard work and support.
