Success Stories - Sheri

“My name is Sheri O’Boyle.  Until about two years ago, I was working for PeaceHealth, Oregon Region as I was finishing my Masters Degree.  When the economic downturn hit, I was for the first time in my life unemployed.
My position was eliminated.

I learned about Lane Workforce Partnership and entered their Executive Career Finders program.  I learned to how to truly market myself through active interviewing, practice interviewing and going on mock interviews.

They helped me put together a career portfolio that I was able to use when I went to job interviews.  There were a lot of materials in that portfolio that I had at my fingertips.

The most beneficial to me was the WIA training scholarship I received.  I used the scholarship monies to attain my Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality certificate. It is a globally recognized certificate that gave me the added credibility I needed to stay in the health care field because that is really what I wanted to do.

I attained a position with Silverton Hospital as their Director of Education.  It is probably my dream position.  It is a position that I am going to be in for many years to come.  It is everything that I have been looking for and more.  I do feel that I owe a lot to Lane Workforce Partnership for their assistance.”
