TESTIMONIALS The following are success stories from our clients: "Thanks for getting me involved in JEN. This is my most helpful networking group. I had found an interesting finance job at a Fortune 100 company. I had no connections on LinkedIn so I sent a message to the JEN executive group. The response was immediate. I have since has two resumes handed to the hiring manager. I did not get the job, but to have my resume cut through literally thousands is a victory of sorts and will ultimately lead to a successful landing." - R.H. JEWISH EMPLOYMENT NETWORK (JEN) CAREER SERVICES "I can't thank you enough for the abundance of wonderful ideas you gave me to grow my business. I came away feeling encouraged and hopeful for the first time in a long while. I took your ideas about making presentations, targeted calls and negotiating tactics and turned them into a cohesive marketing plan. At the same time, I am following your advice and looking for work to generate some income while I execute the expansion. I am extremely grateful for your help." - R.S. ILLINOIS SBDC/DUMAN MICROENTERPRISE CENTER "I came to JVS in the spring of 2008 as I had to leave my job in retail which I had for many years. I was unable to stand. I met with a JVS Career Counselor, worked on a resume and interviewing strategies. She encouraged me to enroll in the Senior Aide Program. I was placed in a part-time position with a non-profit agency helping individuals with HIV/AIDS find housing and nutritional services. This January the agency offered me a full-time job as a housing specialist. This really helps me economically and continues my wish to interact with and assist people." - J.D. SENIOR AIDE PROGRAM "I came to JVS in March, 2008 after not being able to find a job. I was looking for something where I could work and go to school. JVS found a position for me as a Loader at UPS, which I had done before. I was told I could get a job there and get help with college after being employed for a few months. JVS also helped me with clothing which I badly needed. Now I am working and have begun talking government courses at Malcolm X. I would like to go into politics some day." - N.H. REHABILITATION PLACEMENT "I want to personally thank both JVS and JCFS counselors for contributing to my gainful employment. Your group sessions helped soothe the emotional upheaval during the trying times and created the renewed energy needed to secure a job." - A.L. SUBURBAN RESOURCE NETWORK CAREER SERVICES
