I was referred to Puget Sound Training Center by my local CSO office in 2007, and since then I have been coming to their office for assistance. The staff at PSTC has always been attentive and willing to help us, even though we have not been regular clients.
Our work experience has been in the warehouse industry, and due to transportation limitations, we have always looked for employment at places where we can work together. Luckily, we found employment with Nintendo and worked for them for over four years.
In late 2011, we were laid off from our positions with Nintendo of America, and since then we had struggle to find another job. We decided to visit the Puget Sound Training Center again and asked if we could get help finding employment. They immediately said yes, and with a week, our resumes were updated, applied for a free cell phone, and email accounts were created for us. We applied for several jobs online and completed many online job applications, and it was during this intensive job search that our case manager at PSTC received a phone call from an employer in Kent that was in need of warehouse workers. Our resumes were forwarded to the HR manager and within less than a week, we had our interview and later a job offer.
We are very happy that we have found permanent employment. We are now able to provide more to our children and live happier, productive lives.
