At the time of her referral to Fitted for Work, Amira was living in a women’s refuge with her young child after experiencing violence at the hands of her ex-partner. 

 

“I was overcoming some difficult circumstances, and it wasn’t always easy to get help navigating the Australian employment scene. I was working on myself, and it was great to have the extra support. Fitted for Work helped boost my confidence while I interviewed for jobs.”

 

With the support of Fitted for Work’s holistic job-readiness services, Amira was able to land her dream job as a medical practice manager!

 

The new position allows her the steady income and reliable hours needed to provide a safe and comfortable home for herself and her young child, and the flexibility she needs to be available as a single parent. Amira is thrilled about the new role and the opportunity to use her knowledge and skills professionally again.
