“I was unemployed when I came to WorkBC. I hadn’t been working for about a year. I worked in my old job for 9 years and I was left with an uncertainty of what to do next. I wanted to find something new but was not sure how to identify the transferable skills. I am now working in the film industry coordinating box offices and providing audience services. I have enjoyed the research and problem solving part of my job the most. I also conducted outreach marketing to schools and food blogs. This year our organization has increased attendance and revenue and it feels great to be part of that success. I am picking up tons of knowledge/skills that I didn’t have before and also using old skills in new ways. I’m just really loving it!” -Shelley, film buff
