Frederico
Workforce Challenge:
Federico was a Manufacturing Supervisor for Mirion Technologies, Inc. in Los Angeles, CA. Federico was laid off on February 2015 and remained unemployed for 12 months. The biggest challenge Federico faced in seeking employment was not having a complete resumé, and being employed for too long in one company.
Workforce Solution:
In February 2015, Federico found SELACO WIB by accident while helping his cousin with obtaining information regarding disability benefits. What brought Federico to SELACO WIB was training and information on the Employment Development Department (EDD). Ultimately, he found what he was looking for and more. He said, “They provided inspiration, training, skills building, and individuals who are willing and happy to provide positive help.”
Outcome & Benefits:
Federico searched for jobs on CalJobs, workshops, online, social media, friends, family, and networking with associates. In April 2015, while networking with family members, Federico heard about a Direct Sales position at Ganesh Machinery in Los Angeles/Orange County. After two interviews, Federico received an offer. When asked if he would recommend SELACO WIB to anyone, he responded emphatically: “Yes. Yes. Yes. I’m doing it now!” He advised new and returning job seekers; “Never, ever, ever give up. Keep building skills. Keep being positive. Learn and be open to change.”
Congratulation, Frederico!
