Katherine, I reached out to you through the Defence Career Counselling and Employment Assistance Services Program (PEAP) after relocating from Sydney to Newcastle with my husband whom is in the Defence. 

When I came to see you I felt nervous because I had worked in Education for over 20 years and had not had an interview for all of that time and I was tossing up whether or not I would pursue Education up here or try another industry utilsing my skills and experience.  

At first we developed my Resume and Cover Letter to capture Education opportunities and then the Coronavirus (COVID-19) hit and everything changed, we rejigged the documents and shortly thereafter I was successful in gaining an interview in the Aged Care industry.  I was told by the interviewer that there were over 200 applicants, 7 to 9 were interviewed and that I was the successful applicant – always was from the first point of when they saw my application. 

Katherine, because I came to see you through the PEAP program, I feel more confident with the prospect of securing interviews and applying for positions. 

Thank you!
