Hired on the spot. His first interview ever.
Timothy had never worked, never interviewed, never traveled independently on public transit. His first interview ever was at Jewel-Osco. They hired him on the spot.
When Timothy joined Bridges, he was eager to find his first job while attending a transition program. He had never worked. He had never interviewed. He had never traveled independently on public transportation.
With support from Bridges, he built job-readiness skills step by step. The first interview he ever had was at Jewel-Osco, and they hired him on the spot, as a Courtesy Clerk.
His manager was supportive and flexible. The schedule worked around his school commitments. Bridges' assistance was welcomed.
Since starting the job, Timothy's confidence and independence have grown noticeably. He takes pride in working, in earning his own money, in planning for his future. He's building skills toward his goal of full-time employment and independent living.
