Good morning everyone. We're here for the first meeting for the Pre-Employment Programme.
-
My name is Zsuzsi Hybel, I'm an employment coordinator covering Essex and Hertfordshire,
-
working for Action for Blind People.
-
What I would like to do today, this morning, is just to get to know each other a little
-
bit more as a group.
-
My name's Wendy, I'm 25. My eye condition is glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
-
My sight condition is, basically, I can't see nothing out of my right eye and I've only
-
got 20 per cent vision in my left eye.
-
I was in college training to be a nursery nurse teacher but I had to end that when I
-
lost my eyesight.
-
It's been quite difficult trying to go and find a job because at the moment I've hardly
-
got any confidence at all.
-
If you convince yourself that you can do something or you have the skills, you have the abilities,
-
you have the experience and you have the qualification and if you know you can do it then I think
-
you can turn around any employer.
-
I'm hoping to get a lot more confident and basically learn how to do an interview if
-
I get an interview, and how to apply for a job and hopefully at the end of it, get a job.
-
Good morning everyone, how are you all? Good. Had a good week?
-
I'm just finishing delivering the Pre-Employment Programme. It's been going really well. We
-
started a couple of months ago. I feel most of my participants really have grown in confidence.
-
The last thing I would like to do is to talk about interview skills and interview techniques.
-
The reason I would like to cover that topic now is because Wendy, this afternoon, is having
-
her second interview for a job.
-
The job that I'm going for is to work in a laundrette. Doing this course over the last
-
few months has really built up my confidence because before I done this course I wouldn't
-
have even thought about going out and looking for work, just waiting for it to come to me.
-
It's important for people that are blind or partially sighted to do a course like this
-
because it will give you the confidence. You do learn new skills and new techniques. You're
-
actually with people that have gone through the same thing as you.
-
Well I hope it’s going to go well.
-
Thank you.
-
We will have our fingers crossed for you today and I really hope you're going to get this job.
-
Even if I don't get this job that I'm going for today I won't give up. I will just keep
-
persevering and hoping to get more and more interviews.
-
Wendy got the job that she applied for. So we're all very excited and very, very delighted for her.
