Below you will find Edna’s personally written story.
“The entire staff at Employment Options treated my case with diligence and respect. My counselor – Sarah Lind – fed me job opportunities from quality sources and made sure that I had a follow up plan. Working with Paula, the two crafted a resume for me that garnered attention and got interviews. Now gainfully employed, Sarah continues to touch base from time to time as my Trial Work Period draws to a close” (Chris)
