Testimonials
 

I am writing to say THANK YOU. Your letters have meant a lot to me during my six-month job search and career transition. During 12 years in the nonprofit workforce, I have never had to work so hard at finding a job. In fact, I am always the one my friends come to for job search advice!

Last week I landed a good job in affordable housing development, the field I studied in my urban planning M.A. program over the past two years. As I put closure to the job search process, I wanted to thank you for helping to keep me motivated and engaged in my job search.

Your letters are a great combination of sound advice, new ideas and inspiration. I forward them to friends regularly. Know you are providing a great service to job seekers during a tough time to find work. Best wishes to you as you continue with your work!
