MYTH: Resting in Pieces 🪦
People take breaks from employment for many reasons, including caregiving, parenting, education, health, or personal circumstances. An employment gap does not erase your skills, experience, or potential.

Your next step: Prepare a brief, honest explanation if you're asked about the gap. Then redirect the conversation toward your relevant experience, strengths, and readiness for the opportunity. No need to share private details.

Don't let these job search fears haunt you. Focus on what you bring to the table, take one step at a time, and remember that support is available along the way.💜Connect with the Women’s Employment Resource Centre to explore employment supports, build your confidence, and take your next step toward your goals.

MYTH: DEBUNKED! 👻
It never hurts to put yourself out there. Job postings often include a combination of essential requirements and preferred qualifications. If you meet the key requirements and can demonstrate relevant skills, it may still be worth applying, even if you don't check every single box.

Your next step: Read the posting carefully and identify the qualifications you do meet. Focus on how your experience, skills, and willingness to learn align with the role. (Pro tip: Go old school. Print out the job description and use a highlighter!)

MYTH #1: BUSTED! 👻
Everyone has to start somewhere. Employers may value previous work experience, but they can also look for transferable skills gained through volunteering, school projects, community involvement, caregiving, or other responsibilities.

Your next step: Think about three skills you've developed outside of paid employment. Have you organized an event, helped someone solve a problem, managed competing responsibilities, or worked as part of a team? These experiences may be worth highlighting on your resume!

20.9% of households in our area experienced food insecurity between 2023 and 2024. That's more than a statistic. It's women in our community facing difficult choices every day.

Through the She's Worth It campaign, we're working to ensure more women have access to the food and support they need to thrive. 💜

Donate today. Because she's worth it.

Donation information can be found at the link in our bio ✨

When women in our community have access to nutritious food, they're better equipped to pursue their goals, support their families, and build a brighter future.

This campaign is about more than meeting an immediate need. It's about investing in women's potential by giving them one less thing to worry about.

💜 Join us in giving back. Donate today and help improve food security for women in our community. Donate today by clicking this link: www.werc.ca/shes-worth-it or by visiting our page on the CanadaHelps website.

Food security is about more than just food.

It's about creating the conditions for women to pursue employment, achieve financial stability, and reach their full potential.

When basic needs aren't being met, every other goal becomes harder to achieve, especially employment.

💜 Help us support women on their journey toward independence and security by making a donation to the She's Worth It campaign today.
