After losing his job as a federal government contractor during workforce reductions in early 2025, Virgile M. turned to WorkSource Montgomery’s Federal Worker Career Center (FWCC) for support as he navigated his next career move. He sought guidance, resources, and opportunities to strengthen his professional credentials during a challenging and uncertain time.
At WorkSource Montgomery, we connected Virgile with PMP training, resume review services, LinkedIn guidance, and information about the many employment resources available to Montgomery County residents. Through our FWCC team, we provided hands-on support, regular check-ins, and encouragement throughout his job search journey.
Virgile describes his experience with FWCC as exceeding his expectations. He credits the personalized support, guidance, and encouragement he received with helping him regain confidence and get back on his feet during a difficult career transition. He also believes FWCC and WorkSource Montgomery provide a vital resource for county residents facing unexpected job loss and economic uncertainty.
“My experience with FWCC was beyond what I expected. Everyone was very helpful and truly had my best interest at heart. Their words of encouragement, hands-on support, and regular check-in meetings allowed me to get back on my feet.” — Virgile M.
