This is Domenick's story.
Katie (Job Developer) truly went above and beyond in helping me refine my resume for my current position at Armstrong Garden Center, nestled within the beautiful Flower Fields in Carlsbad. Her guidance and insightful leads on potential job opportunities were invaluable, and I ultimately discovered my current role through my own exploration. I absolutely adore my job; the vibrant atmosphere is invigorating, and I thrive on engaging with customers, sharing smiles, and offering assistance. Every aspect of my position brings joy, leaving me with nothing but positive experiences to share. Additionally, Vantage Point has been incredibly supportive, taking the time during our weekly calls to check in with me and ensure that all my needs are met.

Before I met Michele and Vantage Point I was quite shy and my disability had got ahold of me. I was slow to write my resume and even slower to follow up. Michele was there for me always giving me drive and enthusiasm to do more. Before I knew it I had four interviews in a week, all in the field of my interest. Which in turn got me the job that I am working at today. I am an Accountant for a local non-profit. I love my job. Now I can get up in the morning and feel like I have purpose again.

For the past several years, my life has just been sitting on the sofa or practicing. Very isolated, very bored. Imagine if your pandemic life was going to be the rest of your life; it was so depressing. However, it was crazy difficult to find a job that met both my interests and abilities, would be a place to grow, and would be something I could do even with intractable seizures.
That's where Vantage Point came in. After two years of floundering around toward jobs that were a terrible fit for me because of my seizures, Brandon was able to help me look for opportunities that would work for me. With a focused job search outside of the music world, I found a job right away. As I transition into my new part time "day job," Vantage Point will be working with myself and Legoland in identifying and implementing any accommodations or adaptations that will help me succeed in the workplace.

Being a 72 year old female with Parkinson’s, re-entering the workforce was a difficult transition. However, Vantage Point made me feel that it was something that I could accomplish. They were both professional and compassionate as well as encouraging.
I am thankful and I feel blessed that I had them on my team and was able to be aided by their experience and expertise.

Michele has been very helpful in my search for meaningful employment. Providing support and understanding my situation and doing their utmost to assist me to find what will be most beneficial to myself and the prospective client/employer. Their knowledge, and ability to give new thoughts and ideas for vocational possibilities is invaluable and very much appreciated. They also bring humor and caring to our time together. Highly recommend them.
