After I had been looking for a good job without success, my family suggested I try our local Deseret Industries. They had heard that it was a great place to learn new skills while I worked and looked for permanent employment. With a referral from my bishop, I had an opportunity to learn for myself how fantastic the experience can be.

I was provided a job coach and a development counselor who were great at training me and motivating me to achieve my goals. The missionaries in the employment center were fantastic. They taught me how to develop an impressive resume and have a successful interview.

While attending our weekly devotional, it was one of our employment missionaries who informed me about a job fair that was coming to our area. My job coach and the missionaries helped me to prepare until I felt confident about going for an interview. I was hired!

I am so excited about my new job. I will make a good wage, with a schedule that allows me to go to school and take care of my children. I am so thankful to the good people at Deseret Industries who helped bring this blessing into my life.
