Julian listened closely to Maria and looked at what she needed most, which was both career advice and emotional backing.
Together, they spent time updating her resume, looking for jobs, and doing practice interviews to build up her confidence.
To help with her daily stress, Julian connected Maria with professional counselling through Back2Work.
The sessions gave Maria real tools to handle her worry, organise her week, and feel much more in control of her life.
Julian also helped Maria get an official assessment that matched her work hours to her family life and health needs.
Taking things step by step paid off rapidly.
Maria quickly received two casual job offers in the support sector.
Julian advised her to take them to build her local work history, and soon after, Maria secured a third casual support role.
She is now working a manageable schedule and enjoying better health.
Through Workforce Australia, APM helps people just like Maria find the right balance between work and life.
Julian continues to provide her with post-placement support and regular check-ins to see how she’s coping at work and at home.
Maria still deals with stress at times, but she now has the tools and the network to handle whatever comes her way.
"Thank you, Julian and the APM team, I’m really glad to have a supportive consultant helping out," Maria said.
Now that she has a stable routine, Maria plans to keep growing her skills in the care industry while providing a bright future for her daughter.
