Duque de Caxias
I have worked as a taxi driver for 17 years, and I'm 43. After being laid off, I decided to move into project management, and I have completed a bootcamp. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my resume and portfolio, a realistic view of the job market in Rio de Janeiro, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Débora. Small businesses are the heart of Duque de Caxias. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
