Joe Meets Scoot ...
It’s only Joe’s second day on the job. Already he has received the Policies and Procedures Manual. He has met Stella, the Senior Career Specialist. And he spent the remainder of the previous day reading through the Policies and Procedures Manual. Today is the big day!
Today the boss assigned Joe a case load! That means Joe is now responsible for customers and clients who use the services there in the Career Center. Starting today, Joe will be helping unemployed and under-employed people decide what they should do with the rest of their lives.
Somewhere in the process, Joe is supposed to help the customers and clients find a new job too. The Policies and Procedures Manual said that Joe would not actually find them a job. The customers and clients would be responsible for finding their own jobs, though many believed the Career Center would do that for them. What Joe was supposed to do was help them access services that would make it easier for them to find a new job.
Normally, Joe would have had a week or two to figure out how to do his new job before he was assigned customers and clients to serve. But in this new economy, there was no time for that! Because of the big layoff down at the local plant, everyone at the Careeer Center had to pitch in right away. They all had to do whatever they could to help their neighbors through this crisis.
So Joe entered the Career Center on his first full day of work as a Career Specialist. He had no idea what was waiting for him. Little did he know he was about to have a life-changing expreience himself. Joe was about to meet Scoot!
