linda gill liss was also able to find a new job with the help of our state's one-stop centers. i want to share with you some of her own words. linda writes "i lost my job in the middle of june. being able to use the computers was a real lifesaver for me as i do not have the internet at home. the staff behind the desk at the one-stop center, state employees by the way, were always helpful. they read over my coverlet terse, thank you notes and applications, always giving good suggestions. what i feel helped me most was susan willy's coaching on interview technique. susan, a dlrr state employee, knowing when my interview was called me the day before to ask if it would be a help to me to practice some questions. i'm grateful to have had valuable resources and assistance. it's part of the reason i have my position that i call my dream job." get this, linda's dream job actually pays more than the job she lost. she and coach susan from our one-stop center are both with us today. would this dynamic duo please stand. [ applause ] so while more marylanders are working this year than last,
