WIN Works....

I find WIN very useful. I've already had a couple of job leads that were generated through WIN, which is very encouraging.

Also, it's very useful when someone is not used to being unemployed and they find themselves unexpectedly unemployed to meet up with fellow unemployed people to learn and discuss similar experiences.

I've also learned to network at WIN and have made valuable contacts there. The job industry seems to be very relationship based now and who you know and having someone vouch for you is important. Also, the elevator pitches are great for boosting confidence and making you think about what skills you have to offer.

Going to WIN has not made me feel gloomy about my future, but instead it has energised me and made me look forward to what the future holds. I think it's a very important resource for unemployed people. I don't know of anything else where unemployed people can come together and talk and network and learn new things. I think it's great!
