Client Successes

Romy

Romy came to Pyramid in October 2009. She was unemployed and searching very hard to find employment.  She was enrolled in Pyramid’s CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) program. While in the program Romy was assigned to work with a Business Services Specialist to assist her in finding employment. After 1 week of being enrolled with Pyramid, Romy was able to find a full-time job.

Staff Comment:

Romy was very cooperative client and very easy to work with. I wish all of my clients were as cooperative and had Romy's positive attitude.

Questions and Answers!

 

What was it like without a job?

I had many sleepless nights wondering how I was going to pay my bills. I had no money and at times it was hard to even think straight. It also lowered my low self-esteem

What was looking for a job like before you came to Pyramid?

It was very frustrating. I went to several other agencies to seek help in finding a job, but I was always treated very rudely and never received any help in finding a job. I came to Pyramid and it was like breathing a breath of fresh air. The staff was very kind to me and treated me like a human being. They did not look down on me. I was given the help I needed in finding a job and it’s because of Pyramid that I have a job today. I am now able to pay my bills and able to keep a roof over my head. Pyramid in my opinion is the BEST employment & training agency in Chicago.

What education, job skills, and employment finding assistance did Pyramid provide you?

Placement assistance.

What job did you get and what will you be doing?

I was hired by Gate Gourmet as a Food Prep worker.

What are your plans for the future now that you have a job?

To do the best job that I can and hopefully be promoted to a higher position.
