Candidate Story – Maryann

May 6, 2019

Maryann, Executive Assistant at Skills for Rhode Island’s Future

“After many years working as an executive assistant at a local company, the facility moved out of state and I was suddenly without a job. With years of experience and a recent college degree, I was confident I would quickly find a new position. Unfortunately, I was wrong and panic set in after 6 months of interviews where I was either told I was “overqualified” or was “one of the top two candidates”. It was so stressful worrying about making ends meet. I finally heard about SkillsRI and reached out for assistance. Within one week, I not only had a job interview, but I accepted an offer to be part of their team as the Executive Assistant! I am now happily employed and it feels great to work for an agency whose mission is to help Rhode Islanders who are facing the same struggles I once did.”
