On Wednesday, December 18, I was making follow-up calls for Job Connection. I had probably made 25-30 calls. A few of these calls produced verification of some of these folks finding work.

About 1:30-2:00, I placed a call to a young lady by the name of *DW. When I announced where I was calling from, this young lady immediately burst out with excitement.

 

She had secured a job with Target. She told me that she had made them aware of some personal struggles ahead of time. They gave her a shot [hired her] and they love her work. She’s very happy to be there.

 

Her energetic excitement spilled out to me for about 10 to 15 minutes! I don’t personally know *DW, but after hearing her story, I’m so excited and happy for her. Her story has made me proud to be a part of Job Connection. I hope to hear similar stories in the future.
