“For someone who has been in one career for a decade, integrating into a design world I know less well can feel daunting and full of unknowns.

My coach pushed me to take important risks and invest the time needed to get my work in front of potential clients. She’s also been a sounding board for ideas I had but have not been sure whether to pursue. She’s a little like my work therapist and a wonderful ally in navigating new terrain. I’m also learning to navigate the world of arts funding in Canada, which is very different than in the States, where I’ve spent most of my career.”

"YES is not just a place that helps you find a job - YES also gives you tips and tricks on how to find the job of your dreams.

Meetings with my job search counsellor helped me sharpen my résumé and networking skills but most importantly, kept me focused and motivated!”

“Having done mostly temp or contract work prior to this, working with YES was the first time I was truly engaged in the job search process.

It was a lot of work as my biggest struggles were a lack of confidence, needing professional direction, being in a new town, a new culture, and learning how to navigate through all of that. By really taking the time to examine the kind of work I gravitated toward in the past, I was able to get a clearer sense of the direction I wanted to continue moving in – something I really needed. I feel empowered, more confident in myself, and excited about the possibilities.”
