Client Gratitude
A truly wonderful organization with skilled and caring staff. Very supportive of adults with lagging skills in need of finding development as they try to find their ‘job of best fit.’ Staff have great understanding and acceptance of persons with autism as they try to find their way into the world of meaningful employment. I would highly recommend people dropping by for a visit. Informative and up to date. You helped me put together a resume for Michelin. I would like to take this time to thank you sincerely for all of your help. The interview was a success. Thank you again. Have a wonderful day! I really appreciate the opportunity and guidance from staff and the work you all do to help people seeking work and/or a career change. |
I wanted to write and thank you for all your support during my time working with you this year. Your support, encouragement made a huge difference and I have taken the liberty of copying the Ex. Director in on this email so that she knows you were more valuable to me than maybe you realized. Being able to see you and talk to you made a real difference coping with loss of job and the path to finding my career again. BIG Thank you. I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me and for your work. You are certainly a credit to your organization and the guide in preparation of the new resume was totally remarkable from what the first resume prepared. |
