All The help You Need
I asked advisor at the job centre if there was any extra support to help me get back to work as I have been unemployed for just over a year I was then referred to Fedcap in Reading On my first appointment I was introduced to my advisor Michael Hodgson who asked about my previous work experience and explained the support that was on offer and arranged another appointment the following week Following this meeting I emailed him my old CV which he offered to update and make it more relevant to the type of work I was looking for The day before my next meeting and following a couple of phone calls I received for more information and details about my past jobs I was sent two CV s to check over I was so impressed with what he had prepared it looked very professional and was laid out in an easy to read format with bullet points highlighting my skills and experience Over the following weeks I enrolled on a number of courses they offer which I found informative and fun and was an opportunity to meet other people as well as changing my mindset about work and getting up at a regular time each day to attend Seven weeks later having attended four interviews in a new suit provided by Fedcap and appointments made using a new phone again provided with Michaels help to replace one I damaged I start a new full-time job I can t thank Fedcap and my advisor Michael enough He gave me the encouragement and the means to find a job with the salary I need to cover my rent and a job which I have done previously that I know I ll enjoy You get out what you put into these services so if you genuinely want to get back to work and need a bit of help and encouragement give this a try My only regret is I didn t do this 12 months ago

Thank you
Aly my advisor at the Reading Fedcap office has been so supportive and helpful in my journey back into work She was consistently available both at allotted appointments and on the phone outside of these times which was very reassuring and has always been professional warm and approachable Our meetings were long enough to properly discuss and evaluate potential opportunities to talk through any problems I was experiencing and to work through these together It felt like a very collaborative approach to finding work Aly was accommodating of necessary changes to appointments or my need to bring my son along at times which also helped to make the experience stress free Fedcap provided me with mental health wellbeing support when I needed it Alistair was also very empathetic and suggested different techniques for managing my anxiety as well as financial assistance for practical matters pertaining to starting work transport clothing childcare which really helped They offer a number of workshops courses and useful online tools and utilising these made me feel like I was making some progress even before finding work I really want to thank the scheme and in particular my advisor for all that it she has done for me It was a very positive experience

Charlie helped me get my first office role
Fedcap employment works with the job center for clients that are long term out of employment you are assigned a work coach just like in the job center my work coach s name is Charlie and he really surprised me with how much he genuinely cared about me and my goals He always was pushing for me to go for these opportunities he found and even with a large caseload didn t rush me or make me feel like a number I can t comment for every work coach there but Charlie really did go above and beyond and I hope he is recognized for that I m actually starting my first role at my first technical IT company which he helped me prepare for not just though working on my CV but also making sure I was well dressed for the interview which really helped set me apart from the other candidates
