When you are working with job services and coaches, you might hear something like ‘Is there anything you need from us?’. This often comes up after you’ve landed a job or even while you are applying. But without knowing what kind of help they can offer, it’s easy to feel stuck or say ‘no, thanks’. The truth is, there are so many things available to you that will help you not only get a job but keep it and succeed in it.
If you are not sure what to ask for or, even what kind of support is available to you, it’s totally okay to ask for examples.
Here’s how that could look:
“I got a new job; I start on Monday”
“Great! Is there anything you need from us?”
“I’m not sure, what kind of help can you offer?”
By asking that simple question, you open the door to support you might not have realised was there. Maybe you might need help with getting to work or getting the uniform you need. These could make a big difference in getting and keeping a job. You deserve support so that you can thrive.
Remember: there’s no such thing as a ‘silly’ question when it comes to your future. Asking about support options is a smart way to make sure you have everything you need!
