  • “Working with Employment works to find a job has been a valuable tool for me. The opportunity came at a difficult point in my life where my confidence was not great, and my job-hunting skills were poor. The quality support in writing resumes and cover letters, as well as the helpful programs I was recommended to take (like food safety certification, CPR, and more) helped to build a nice portfolio of experience I could add to my resume and helped tailor a lot of applications”

  • "With all my compassion and gratitude, I can share my journey with Operation Come Home, especially with the Job Action Center. I still want to say infinitely “thank you” for your hospitality even with my newcomer status, you treated me with no judgment. You gave some tips and guided me to compile a good resume and cover letter. Furthermore, you provided sponsorship for my training. You helped me find a job. Moreover, you provided snacks, advice, and your patience at my disposal."

  • "My experience working with the program was absolutely amazing. I had been looking for jobs for almost a month when I met the JAC team. In the span of 2 weeks they helped me with my resume and cover letter, got me my smart serve, new work outfits, shoes and an amazing new job that I’m currently loving and thriving in. The team was so nice, fast and always accommodating."
