"I was made redundant in April 2022 after working in the same company for 27 years. I was lost and didn't know where to start looking for a new job. I had no idea how to write a CV or how to apply for jobs. I contacted a job coach at a local employment service. I was nervous about meeting with the job coach, but he put me at ease immediately. We talked about my skills and experience, and he helped me to write a CV that highlighted my strengths. He also gave me advice on how to apply for jobs and how to prepare for interviews. The job coach was incredibly helpful and supportive. He was always available to answer my questions and provide me with guidance. I am so grateful for his help in finding a new job. I am now employed and I am so happy that I was able to find a job that I am passionate about."
"I am a 42-year-old who moved to Ireland 17 years ago. I am a qualified English teacher but had difficulty finding a job in that field due to the recession.

I was feeling stressed and disappointed, but a friend recommended me to Employability service. They helped me with my CV, put me in touch with potential employers, and provided moral support. I am now employed as a graphic designer and I am very grateful to the employment service for their help. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a job."
