Jennifer’s goal is to work as a Baker.
Jennifer recently lost her job after being injured at work. When she met with staff in South Portland, she seemed distressed and expressed concern about how she would be able to care for her daughter as a single parent. With the staff’s encouragement, Jennifer updated her resume and used Maine Job Link to search for employment. She has since interviewed with a café in her community and begins employment next month. Jennifer told staff that she is thrilled about the opportunity, which provides flexible hours, a short commute with higher wages, and better benefits than her earlier employment. Jennifer has a bachelor’s degree in French and the staff also recommended that she explore teaching ESOL part-time with an adult education provider. She is currently exploring her options and she told staff she is excited that she could use her degree, manage both positions and still care for her daughter.
