Located in Waxahachie, Daymark is a residential community dedicated to helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) live a happy, healthy, and independent life.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the vision and guidance from Daymark Living founder, John Poston, Best Buddies was able to hire Employment Consultant, Cheyenne Jock, to work exclusively out of Daymark to help residents secure meaningful, competitive employment. Because Jock is solely dedicated to Daymark residents, she is excited to get to know each resident closely and help them secure jobs that they are truly interested in.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cNot only does Best Buddies search for a good match in inclusive employment, but we\u2019re also there on the job, so that when the employee starts work, they are able to transition into that job the best way possible and with the most support,\u201d Jock said. \u201cAs they learn their job and gain independence, we adjust our support, but are always there for the employee.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While COVID-19 has presented several unforeseen obstacles, Jock has worked with residents on exploring career dreams and goals, building their soft skills, and conducting mock interviews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you or a loved one have paused the employment process because of COVID-19, my biggest advice to you would be to stay motivated, continue practicing mock interviews, and keep working on your professional skills,\u201d Jock said. \u201cThat way, when you are able to return to work, you\u2019re already prepared to nail your interview.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Best Buddies Jobs program is currently also available in the Houston and North Texas markets in Texas. <span style=\"color: #5a3f98\"><a style=\"color: #5a3f98\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuddies.org\/texas\/jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more about Best Buddies Jobs.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partnership with Daymark Living brings Best Buddies Jobs to Waxahachie, Texas. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":138741,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"tx-single-post.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[802,503],"tags":[558],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
