Start with stability
A job can help rebuild confidence, income, schedule, and responsibility. But the job plan should not ignore recovery stability. The right plan considers transportation, health, appointments, schedule, stress level, and support needs.
Job readiness begins with honest questions: what kind of work can I do consistently right now, what schedule is realistic, and what next step moves me forward?
Job readiness pieces
- Simple resume with accurate work history and skills
- Career direction based on strengths and interests
- Applications tracker
- Interview preparation
- Transportation plan
- Work schedule that does not damage recovery routines
- Weekly review of applications and follow-up actions
Resume and applications
A clean resume helps a person present strengths clearly. An application tracker helps prevent confusion and missed follow-ups. A career-direction worksheet can help identify jobs, training, volunteer paths, or entry points that fit the person’s current stage of rebuilding.
