Success Story Series

Meet Tamara.  Single and struggling with personal challenges, Tamara decided to take steps to provide a better future for her two teenagers. She received her GED, completed an office training program at Salt Lake Community College and began working for a temp agency.

When she started the PHP Successful Employment Program, Tamara was afraid of interviewing and thought she would never be able to leave the temp agency. However, she soon realized that the knowledge she gained at PHP went far
beyond interviewing skills. She identified her marketable skills and put her new knowledge to use in practical terms. Her confidence soared.

In the beginning of her job search, Tamara suffered a few employment setbacks; however, her volunteer PHP mentor was there to provide encouragement. Tamara eventually found a great job at Qwest and has been very successful there. Jay LaRocco, her Sales Manager says, “I have seen Tamara develop her talents and work outside her comfort zone to become the success she is. She has become quite a model employee, always doing her best and being a good example for others here at Qwest. She is very motivated by success, which makes her a true asset. ”
