Emily pushes through long term unemployment and anxiety resulting in employment
February 14, 2025Posted by:
Emily was determined to rebuild her professional life when she joined Fair Start Scotland with PeoplePlus. Emily had been unemployed for a long time, but she came with a renewed sense of purpose and she fully engaged with PeoplePlus services.
A pivotal moment for Emily was joining the "Let's Talk and Walk" group, which helped her manage anxiety and find a supportive community. The "Let's Talk and Walk" group not only allows participants to stay physically active while exploring different areas of Glasgow but also helps their mental health too.
She also became an active member of the "Good to Gab" group, improving her communication skills and enabling her to build connections.
Emily completed the Five-Week Routeway course, led by David, earning certifications in Positive Mental Attitude, Removing Obstacles, Interview Skills, CV and Cover Letter Writing, and Communication Skills. She also received personalised support through the SALAS initiative.
Emily's hard work paid off when she was invited to interview for a Sales Adviser position at Timpson's, thanks to the Employer Engagement team. She excelled in the interview and started full-time employment and is hoping to move into a management role as we continue to support her though regular in work support.
