After 5 years, Kenda was laid off from her job in RV sales. Although she had gained a broad range of transferrable skills, she struggled to confidently present them on her resume and in interviews.

Workforce Center staff helped Kenda target her skills and experience into a resume format she could confidently present to employers. She was also encouraged to expand her job search outside the sales industry, recognizing her ability to connect with people and her calming presence as valuable assets for roles in a nonprofit like Starkey, Inc. Kenda was excited by the potential for a more rewarding career.

She soon accepted a position as a Behavioral Support Specialist with Starkey, Inc., earning $18.25/hour. The new schedule provides a better work-life balance and she is excited to make a positive difference every day in a career she might not have considered if not for Workforce Center support.
