Building Confidence and Career Success through Work & Study
Finding a first job after university can be daunting, and for many young people, the journey doesn’t always go smoothly. After months of searching without success, one young graduate found the support they needed through headspace Newcastle's Work and Study program.
“After finishing university, I spent a few months trying to find a job on my own, but it turned out to be tougher than I expected. Everything changed when I joined the headspace Work and Study team” said Fynn.
With the help of a dedicated Vocational Specialist, they reworked their resume and cover letter to make them more effective. This simple step, combined with ongoing coaching and encouragement, led to more interview opportunities and a renewed sense of confidence.
The program also provided practical interview preparation, helping to build the skills needed to approach job opportunities with assurance. In the end, all the hard work paid off when they secured a job in a role with fantastic growth opportunities.
“Reaching out to the headspace Work and Study team was hands down the best decision I made in my job search, and I honestly can’t thank them enough for all their support along the way” said Fynn.
The Work and Study program is designed to help young people aged 12–25 take positive steps toward their education and career goals, offering practical support, encouragement and strategies to achieve success.
