True Life Story: Patricia Lloyd
Some people like to joke about how hard it is to go back to work after lunch. And it's true... it can take a few minutes to regain your focus, put your brain in gear and start being fully productive after an hour break. So, if you know what that experience is like,
just imagine how it must feel going back to work after an extended period of unemployment. It's a situation that, though full of promise and excitement, can be
equally unsettling and overwhelming. So much is on the line. You want to succeed. You want to do your best. You want to be up to the challenge.

Sitting at her desk on a late fall morning in Southfield, Patricia Lloyd knows this tension first hand. She's lived it over the last few months. But today, the look on her face is far from stressed. She's relaxed. She's confident. She's ready to work and grateful to Goodwill Industries of Great Detroit for the chance to do just that.
