Max Bounces Back After COVID

After being laid off from a previous job due to COVID-19 closures, Max remained unemployed for nearly three years before being referred to Meadowlark Employment Services. We identified his strengths and areas needing improvement, and worked towards enhancing his marketability through practice interviewing and one-on-one online job search training. We developed a resume for Max and helped him get his name out to prospective employers.

Max was fully committed to finding work and was under pressure to succeed. We were able to identify an inclusive work environment at the Boise Co-Op that celebrates Max’s differences and is accepting of people of all abilities. He is currently employed in his chosen field of work as a dishwasher/kitchen helper and is earning a highly competitive wage. Max is proud of his work, is well-liked by his coworkers and is grateful for the assistance with his community integration.
