I am a senior Biology major and Art minor at Providence College. I applied to PrepareRI and was given the opportunity to work for Amgen Rhode Island, a biotech company with a mission to serve patients. I had stressed to PrepareRI during the interview process that I truthfully did not know where I see myself in the next few years. They placed me where they saw me best fit. And now, I have been given the opportunity to go back to Amgen as soon as I graduate to work as a leader in their 2-year rotational program. PrepareRI gave me the amazing opportunity to work for Amgen and find my true passion in the biotech field. I would not have been given this awesome opportunity without the help of PrepareRI’s Internship Program. I will forever be thankful.
SkillsRI offers job seekers various job search tools and resources, similar to Indeed, ZipRecruiter and LinkedIn, but our individualized focus is what makes us different. SkillsRI has helped secure employment for nearly 3,000 Rhode Islanders since just 2016, though our impact runs even deeper than that.
“Career Enhancement” is an approach that SkillsRI recruiters specialize in — rather than simply providing a list of job opportunities, SkillsRI takes the time to get to know our valued candidates. Our recruiters work closely with them to discover the talents and traits that make each a unique candidate for one of our many employer partners. Recruiters get to know a candidate’s professional history as well as career goals so that they can provide a personalized approach to helping a candidate find employment.
In the process, recruiters often become defacto “coaches,” identifying areas of opportunity to work with a candidate on developing or revamping a resume, offering job search tips and tricks, job interview preparation and follow-up strategies, and professional etiquette recommendations (appropriate dress, virtual interview setups, etc.).
Recently, SkillsRI celebrated the 10,000th candidate to have received career enhancement services! We’re deeply honored to have the opportunity to work with each and every individual who comes through the SkillsRI (virtual) doors!
