Sonja's Story

"Goodskills updated my skills and prepared me for the career I've dreamed of."

After stepping away from a successful career to care for her family, Sonja spent eight years out of the workforce. When she was ready to return, she faced an unexpected challenge: despite her experience, months of job applications yielded few interviews. Frustrated but determined, Sonja turned to Goodskills Career Builder for support.

Through Goodskills, Sonja refreshed her professional skills and gained the confidence to re-enter the job market. More importantly, Goodskills helped her connect directly with employers, opening doors that had previously remained closed.

Shortly after graduating, Sonja landed an interview for her dream job at Catholic Health, a place that held deep personal meaning, as her mother had once worked there. She not only got the job, but within just a few months, Sonja was promoted to a new position, a Revenue Management Patient Experience Specialist, a testament to her talent and dedication.

Sonja’s story is one of courage and commitment. She embodies the spirit of Goodwill: empowering individuals to overcome barriers and achieve their goals. Her journey reminds us that with the right support and unwavering focus, it’s never too late to pursue your passion.
