Archibald Dagg
Archibald Dagg, a resident of Stouffville approached yorkworks in August with hopes of finding employment in property services. With over 10 years of work experience in property services, Archie checked out the daily job postings on the job board.
Needing further assistance with his job search, Archie met with a Planning Consultant to work one-on-one on his resume and cover letter, set up an e-mail account, research jobs and apply for positions via fax.
Archie obtained an interview with Angus Glen. The interview was a success and Archie landed a job at the golf course.
A few days after, Archie contacted his Planning Consultant to share his good news that he had been contacted by the Town of Stouffville to set up an interview for a Snow Plow position he also applied for.
Congratulations Archie!
