Testimony / Success StoryOne opportunity can change a life.
“I came to your organization looking for a job and was directed to the Employment Coordinator. After filling out a work form, the Coordinator and I discussed the type of job I was seeking, my availability, and my desired pay range. The Employment Coordinator then helped me update my résumé to reflect my current skills and guided me through filling out several job applications. The entire process was quick and simple. After leaving Word of Hope Ministries, I felt I was truly taking a step in the right direction. One of the jobs we applied to contacted me back and scheduled an interview for that same week. I am thrilled to share that I got the job! I still work there today at a restaurant called Maggiano's. I have been working there for seven months now and genuinely love the atmosphere. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. For this I am appreciative. Thank you for your valuable assistance.”
