Mayiik Awer spent almost a year without a job and was unsure what he wanted to do.
The decision to get some help from the Brimbank pathways employment program changed his life.
“It gave me an opening to get a job,” he said.
“They helped with cover letters and my resume.
“They have a better understanding of what an employer wants. I’m working a job that I’ve never worked before and I really enjoy it. It’s pretty amazing.”
As part of Brimbank council’s employment pathway, the council is hosting the Brimbank Local Jobs Showcase from May 14, to connect people with local job opportunities.
Mr Awer said he recommends the program and showcase to anyone in Brimbank looking for a job.
“I just came in and needed some help with my resume and it really helped,” he said.
“It gives them [job seekers] more opportunities to help them with more options and other roles
“It will be easier for them to get a job and they will get a lot of support. They [the employment program] know what the employer wants to hear.
“I recommend it for all youth and I want more people to know about it.”
The showcase is at Visy Cares Hub, 80b Harvester Road, Sunshine, from 1-5pm.
