seven years. So, all the skills that it
took to take care of him and my family
helped when I went back to school,"
she says. "And that's what I try to tell
people."
Back at work
Stoddard currently works at J.D. Irving in Saint John. She requested to
complete her four-week unpaid work
placement at the company when she
was at Eastern College.
"J.D. Irving was the top of my list
of where I wanted to do my student
placement," she says. "In my second
week that I was here, my manager
spoke to me and offered me a paid student contract for the summer for four
months."
She was offered a full-time position towards the end of the summer
and now works on its PeopleSoft team,
which supports the payroll department.
Stoddard says she's so grateful for
everything that has happened to her.
"When I look back now — just over
two years from losing my job — I remember how I felt then to where I am
now," she says. "It's pretty amazing."
