Phlebotomy Training Rescues Construction Worker From Unemployment

Online, February 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - In 2008 20 year old James Washington had just begun his first real job out of High School as a construction laborer, it was the bottom rung on the ladder but he was happy to be working and even happier with his paycheck.

"The hours were tough and the work was demanding physically but I was full of energy and loved every minute of it." James told us recently, his voice cracking just a little.

"I mean, we were building people's homes......it really meant a lot to me when we finished and I could look back at something that I had a real hand in accomplishing."

And then Wall Street collapsed, the economy crashed and the housing industry went belly-up.

James' construction firm quickly filed for bankruptcy and James found himself out on the street.
He was devastated.

"It seemed like overnight I went from the envy of my neighbors and friends to just another faceless number standing in a line and I had no idea where to turn to or what to do."

So, like so many others, James found himself knocking on doors and filling out applications by day and worrying by night. Then, while web surfing one morning before leaving the house for another round of fruitless job hunting, he clicked on- www.phlebotomytrainginfo.org - and the light bulb went off over his head.

"I'd never even thought of any type of job in Healthcare before that day but the website was so clear, functional and informative that it was simple for me to focus and then move in this new direction." He told us. So, although he had no experience and no training, James, with a little help from www.phlebotomytrainginfo.org, completed his research into phlebotomy training and then actively sought a new beginning in a field he had never imagined.

"I completed my course fairly quickly and was absolutely grateful to find doors finally being opened for me instead of slammed in my face and, for the first time in my life, this was a career and not just a job."

James went on to inform us that he is once again, "the envy of his friends and neighbors", but more importantly he explained how good it felt to, once again, "be a part of giving people something they really need". www.phlebotomytrainginfo.org worked for him and it can work for you too.
