Tonight, I toast to the Security Guard!


As I was doing some work in my office this afternoon, one of my customers walked down the hall, dressed in his new security uniform and looking sharp. I was suddenly so overwhelmed with joy...I almost cried.
Weeks ago, this customer came into the center ready to look for a job. He had not worked in over a year, as he had an elderly dog who needed constant attention. Being an animal lover myself, I empathized with the sad final journey he had undergone with his dog. Anyway, he was in the Access JobLink center and ready to build his resume. With a learning disability and few computer skills, he leaned on me during a lot of the job search process. Over a series of weeks working together, I learned that he, at one time, had been homeless and had spent a decade working in jobs he had no passion for.
My customer's dream job was to be a security officer. And tonight, I toast to his new job and continued success!
