As a recent immigrant from Haiti, my first priority was to find a job as soon as possible. One of my friends recommended Puget Sound Training Center, so I went there and was enrolled for their services. They provided me with Forklift, computer and interviewing techniques training. My resume was updated by their staff, so that I could start applying for local jobs.
I applied at several local warehouses and stores, but the one that called me for interview was SEARS at Southcenter Mall. I was hired as a Receiving Associate. I am still employed there and love what I do. I have made many great friends and gained new skills that I could apply in future employment opportunities.
Puget Sound Training Center helped me find my second job as a Night Time Janitor with KBM Solutions. I now work two jobs, and the salary from these two jobs has allowed me to send some money to my family in Haiti, and also allowed me to purchase my first car.
If it wasn’t for the services and career coaching provided by Puget Sound Training Center, I would probably still be looking for employment. It can be very difficult and frustrating for new immigrants to find a job in America. The application process and job posting system is very different from what we are used to in Haiti.
Thank you so much Puget Sound Training Center for improving my life. I am now able to help out my family, attend college and continue to pursue my dreams.
