Elizabeth “Beth” Durreman’s career journey from a newspaper Editor to a thriving career in Advertising Sales is a testament to the significance of Job Center services and the importance of resilience in the modern job market.
Beth faced an unexpected career transition when she lost her job, leaving her feeling like she had been abruptly fired.
Seeking assistance, she turned to the Lebanon Job Center, where staff were able to offer both encouragement and tangible services. During a pivotal conversation with Job Center staff, Beth’s perspective shifted as she learned that her departure was not a firing but rather a result of a permanent layoff, attributed to the industry’s shift towards digital media.
