Joanne’s goal is to promote within an Occupational Therapy office.
When Joanne called the Augusta staff, she sounded distraught. She told them that she had lost her job and she was concerned about losing momentum and falling back into depression. Staff invited her onsite to conduct a job search to maintain a routine and keep her focused on the next steps. While onsite, staff spent time talking with Joanne about what she thought led to her job loss and what type of job and environment might be a better fit. Based on her feedback, the staff provided Joanne with some job leads and within one week, she had three interviews and a job shadow. Her preferred company then contacted her with an offer, and she contacted staff who coached her on how to negotiate a higher salary. Joanne called staff back within an hour. She excitedly told them that the company agreed to her salary request and that it was the first time she had ever felt brave enough to ask for a higher salary.
