Behind the Workbench

When Ella lost her job due to her disability, she worried she would never be able to work again. She felt stupid and worthless because of the way she had been treated. Despite this, she decided to give work one more try.

Ella decided that instead of working at whatever job was available, she would use her experience hiring and managing people to find the best possible job for her, so this last try would be at the job where she had the best chance.

In Ella’s next job, she was quickly recognized as the best person for the job who had ever worked in that role. That December, she got a card that said, “we can’t remember how we survived without you.” Best of all, Ella was the happiest she had ever been at work. Now, Ella helps others achieve those same results at Career Health Workshop.

Ella has been writing resumes professionally for 10 years, has 5 years of professional benefits experience, and 4 years of hiring experience. She has a BA in English and anticipates completing her MBA from Northern Kentucky University in 2025.
