Supporting job seekers with disabilities or injuries can be challenging, but the right tools and support can significantly improve their chances of finding and maintaining employment.
Disability Employment Services (DES), particularly Disability Management Service (DMS) and Employment Support Service (ESS), play a crucial role in offering tailored support to those with disabilities, illnesses, or injuries.
One of the most impactful ways to support these job seekers is by providing workshops focused on resume writing and interview skills.
Our Resume Writing and Interview Coaching Workshop is specifically designed to help DES providers support job seekers in building the essential skills needed for successful job applications and interviews.
Here’s how our workshop can make a real difference for both Disability Management Service (DMS) clients who need occasional support and Employment Support Service (ESS) clients who require long-term, ongoing assistance.
1. Tailored Support for Diverse Needs
Job seekers with disabilities or injuries often face unique challenges when applying for jobs, such as limited work experience or difficulty in clearly communicating their skills. Our Resume Writing and Interview Coaching Workshop offers personalised coaching that caters to these challenges by helping participants develop resumes that highlight their transferable skills, address employment gaps, and present their value effectively.
For DMS clients, who need occasional support, the workshop provides practical advice on how to create a resume that focuses on skills and achievements—key areas that help job seekers stand out. For ESS clients, the ongoing support through coaching workshops helps build long-term skills, focusing on enhancing confidence for job interviews and preparing them to navigate diverse workplace environments.
2. Building Confidence for Job Seekers
Many job seekers may feel anxious about applying for jobs or going through interviews, especially if they’ve had limited exposure to the recruitment process. Our Resume Writing and Interview Coaching Workshop provides a safe, supportive environment where job seekers can practise their skills, receive feedback, and build confidence.
For DES providers, offering these workshops helps clients approach interviews with the skills and confidence needed to succeed. Clients leave the workshop feeling more prepared to express their strengths clearly and confidently, increasing their chances of securing job offers and maintaining employment.
3. Focusing on Strengths, Not Limitations
Job seekers with disabilities often focus on their challenges rather than their strengths. Our workshop helps participants shift that perspective by focusing on their unique abilities—skills they may not realise are transferable to a workplace setting.
In the resume writing portion of the workshop, clients learn how to highlight their strengths, skills, and accomplishments, helping them present themselves as valuable assets to potential employers. These are assets that employers highly value, but may not be immediately visible on a resume or in an interview.
By focusing on strengths, DES providers can help job seekers put their best foot forward and present themselves as capable and reliable employees.
4. Practical, Results-Driven Workshops
Our Resume Writing and Interview Coaching Workshop is a hands-on, practical session that equips participants with real-world skills. Whether job seekers are focusing on writing an effective resume or preparing for interviews, they’ll leave with tangible, actionable strategies they can use in their job search.
The workshop guides clients through creating professional, tailored resumes and teaches them how to answer common interview questions, develop strong responses using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), and build confidence. The practical nature of our workshop ensures that participants can directly apply what they’ve learned to their job search, increasing the chances of success.
5. Boosting Job Placement Success for DES Providers
For Disability Employment Services (DES) providers, the ultimate goal is to help clients find long-term, sustainable employment. By offering our Resume Writing and Interview Coaching Workshops, DES providers give job seekers the tools they need to confidently apply for jobs, prepare for interviews, and perform successfully once hired.
With a strong resume and polished interview skills, job seekers are more likely to secure employment opportunities. Our workshops have proven to improve job application quality and placement rates, supporting DES providers in achieving their goals of helping clients secure and retain meaningful work.
