Wanda’s Story

When I came to the Learning Exchange, I knew I was looking for something different. I had experienced the traditional path – creating a resume, then reworking it, sending it around and was getting no response. I had come from a high-paying job in Nova Scotia and had a lot of experience but the feedback I was getting was that I was overqualified – or seemed to be. Someone had recommended the Learning Exchange and I made the call. 

I was experiencing depression, anxiety, a hard time socializing, and also having a difficult time finding employment. My case manager suggested WES at the Saint John Learning Exchange, but when I attended my intake, Power Up was suggested as a starting point.
