It’s not just talk. Jasmine backs it up as an assistant at Jakks Pacific, a top U.S. toy company with offices in Santa Monica. There she attends the front desk, files invoices, works the copy machine and takes on special projects.
“She’s a quick learner,” said Elizabeth Magana, Jakks receptionist and Jasmine’s closest work confidant. “She works hard. I love having her on board. She’s eager, excited and enthusiastic.”
When Jasmine joined the Best Buddies Jobs program, she wanted a job where she could use her filing and computer skills. She impressed the Best Buddies staff with her professionalism and drive. All she needed was a job.
Jakks Pacific gave her that chance when they partnered with Best Buddies in October of 2011. The rest is history.
In just over two months, Jasmine has wowed her coworkers with her professionalism and abilities. She is excelling in her role and making an impact on the corporate culture. Her catch-phrase “I’m all business,” has quickly caught on with the rest of the staff. It has become a mantra.
When she came to Best Buddies Jobs, Jasmine was work-ready. All she needed was an opportunity. Thanks to Jakks, Jasmine is showing that she is capable of having a career. Just like any other young go-getter.
“I love working here,” Jasmine said. “I am happy to make money. I have a lot of fun at work. Everyone’s proud of me.”
