Mission Accomplished - Yolanda Alonzo

It has been a whirlwind year for Yolanda Alonzo
Her journey began on January 9, 2009 - the day she received a pink slip.
"At first, I was lost and didn't know where to begin," said Alonzo. " I didn't even know how to make a resume after working for 15 years."
Alonzo decided to return to school. After a visit to an assessment office, Alonzo learned she was eligible for the Second Career Program. Access Business College caught Alonzo's eye after she completed research on three institutions.
"I was interested in Access Business College because it was the right environment for mature status students," said Alonzo. "I could start any time of the year and would be able to finish the course of my choice within 10 months. It meant I could go back to the workforce within a year."
Alonzo's Second Career application was approved by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities in May 2009. She began classes on May 25 and is scheduled to finish on January 29, 2010. Her program at Access Business College included Microsoft Office software, Financial Accounting, Quick Books, Simply Accounting, Sage ACCPAC and Canadian Payroll.
"I learned the hands-on experience with the computer software but also the logic behind it," said Alonzo.
After passing the first segment of the payroll course, Alonzo started to apply for the jobs. Her resume landed on the desk of the Human Resources Manager for Girl Guides Canada - which lead to an interview for a position in the Finance Department.
"I was very excited when I was invited for a second interview," said Alonzo. "After a weel, I was offered the job in the Finance Department doing accounts payable and payroll. It was the best birthday and Christmas gift I received in December !"
Alonzo is looking forward to the opportunity at Girl Guides of Canada. She is grateful for all the people who have helped her in the past year. "Thanks to all of the people who have supported me at Access Business College," said Alonzo.
