Summary
“We work with people who are at various stages in the job seeking process.” As an employment consultant, Wendy Druckemiller, works with people to overcome barriers to employment. Wendy uses a vocational assessment to help people figure out what type of work they would like to do. She helps with getting their resume put together and practice interviewing. If someone needs on site job coaching, an employment consultant can be there to assist in learning how to the job. There are times when Wendy does behind the scene job coaching. “We can intervene, you know, with the employer sometimes if there are issues that there's a communication breakdown maybe between the employee and the employer sometimes we can help to kind of facilitate.”
