Testimonies

From guilt and shame to self-confidence

Ever since my arrival at Cible Retour à l’Emploi, job hunting, for me, sometimes came with mixed feelings of guilt and shame, guilt arising from not having done enough searching that very day or even this very week, shame of being jobless, at my age, with the track record I have. Through her empathic approach, the Counsellor I had cognizant of my needs and of my personal rhythm, first helped me clarify my expectations goals regarding a future position, and then with accepting the challenges of the job searching process itself. The weekly meetings not only provided me with a framework but, also allowed me to set realistic and targeted goals for myself. With the help of my Counsellor, I was better able to understand the current Labour market and thus, better distinguish between what bestowed my personal challenges from those stemming from the Labour market itself. As the weeks passed, I gradually gained in self-confidence and motivation and the lesser good weeks, since there still were some, didn’t cause me shame anymore.

In addition to offering practical help, namely regarding resumé writing, searching on Job boards, Interview preparation, etc. Cible Retour à l’Emploi allowed me, thanks to its personalized approach, preoccupied with its participants’ well-being, to find a job which met my own needs while respecting the time I required to find it.

“Empowerment” is the word that best describes the services provided

I met you during one of the most difficult periods of my life, and your welcome and kindness have done me a lot of good. And I don’t forget it!
From the reception desk to the office, the welcome and support were extraordinary.
I was treated with respect and my counsellor gave me, without complacency, the tools needed and helped me find my hidden strengths again.
“Empowerment” is the word that best describes the services provided by the team of Cible Retour à l’Emploi.
To all, thank you!

I found one before this deadline

The people who work at Cible Retour à l’Emploi know the labour market and its hazards in this 21stcentury, and they are eager to share their knowledge. We are guided with sound advice both when preparing a resume and when analyzing our job search strategies. We receive individual help through meetings with a job search specialist, which is very motivating and more efficient than group meetings, because the help provided is customized. Confidence grows, we become more effective, and we learn to use social networks, because everything moves, everything changes. What was right in past years is different today. My goal was to find a job within three months and I found one before this deadline. Everyone should, as soon as they lose their job, go to Cible Retour à l’Emploi to seek this training in order to succeed in returning to work.

I had not looked for a job in over 10 years

Cible, through my counsellor, helped me to reposition myself in a field related to the one that I had been in for many years. Reviewing my resume, understanding the new ways to search for a job using social networks were new to me, as I had not looked for a job in over 10 years. Cible, and especially my counsellor, gave me the “psychological” support family can’t always give you. This external support is important for someone who, like me, had to wait 5 months before finding a job that met my expectations. Now I am working for a thriving company. Cible is the best thing that can happen to an unemployed person needing to get back on their feet. Thank you.
