"Thank you for your presentation on Thursday morning at SFG. I have been in Texas 8 weeks, looking for employment in communications (PR, Investor relations, internal communications, marketing, teaching and journalism). It is a whole new work world! You had many helpful tips and many of them I'm finding to be critical. It is a new paradigm for finding good employment and, if you don't know the rules, you will remain stuck like chuck...at home. I appreciate the tremendous effort made by you and many other volunteers. You are  helping lift the boats of those unemployed who are vigorously rowing to shore and need to learn how to move with the current employment rules of the game. Otherwise, we remain adrift at sea with many good intentions and applications and no gainful employment!It can be rough sailing (dunno where this boat metaphor comes in, a Yankee from the East coast, perhaps I wish I could go to the beach today!) and knowing what to bring with you, how to use the equipment and what to look for as you navigate is invaluable. Thank you. I was disarmed initially at the amount of help available out there. It is a true blessing. I appreciate your efforts on behalf of the unemployed and underemployed. Once I place my Amazon order, I'll be sure to do so via the CareerDFW website. Such a help that is really needed...you dont know what you dont know! Many thanks" Elizabeth M. 7/14/14

"Jeff, Although we've never met, I've used your website and resources when I was laid off last year, and I've recommended colleagues do so too. I just wanted to say thanks. While I'm not in between jobs at the moment, I'd like to stay in touch and add you to my LinkedIn network."  Gil L.  2014

 

"Dear Jeff, it's been a long time since I last saw you-which means I am still employed;). Just wanted to take a minute to congratulate you on this next step in your career of helping the unemployed.  I hope you go to bed every night realizing the positive impact you have made in what is one of the worst times of people's lives.  Thanks for all that you do! " Sarah N. 5/23/13

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for your exceptional presentation this morning!  Hopefully you could see how engaged our group was with your information – hanging on your every syllable.  The feedback we received was glowing, stating your information was so valuable to them – “perhaps the best presentation they’d ever seen!”  It doesn’t get any better than that, does it?  You have the gift of breaking it down into doable steps, and I could see the lights going off in their heads as it all made so much sense.  As I shared with you, I had not explored all that your website has to offer myself, and I was so impressed and enlightened today.  What a gold mine you’ve created!! Your style is humorous, also, and as you pointed out, looking for work is hard, and everyone needs a laugh along this journey. We also greatly appreciated the extra time you spent answering questions when we know your time is so valuable.  It was a complete honor to have you here at The Senior Source finally, and you certainly went above & beyond today.  Your sincere desire to help others certainly comes through in your presentation.  We would love to have you back sometime in the future, if your busy schedule will permit. Once again, thanks for sharing your time and wisdom with our seniors." Claire T. 4/5/12

 

"Phenomenal site and awesome career networking resource. It was so helpful during my last career search." Posted on the Connected in North Dallas LinkedIn Group by Mike K. 3/25/12

 

"If you have never heard Jeff speak about CareerDFW.org, I highly recommend attending. I thought I was familiar with CareerDFW.org. After I heard Jeff speak to the Carrollton Career Focus Group about it, I realized I was not using all it had to offer." Barbara R. Project Manager 3/18/12

 

Jeff, Thank you for taking so much of your personal time to create such a wonderful tool. I want to personally thank you for coming to the group and going over CareerDFW specifics.  I have been using the website for a while and did not even realize that it had some of the great links/files on it that it does.  You did an awesome job in presenting the website (probably a little easier to present it since YOU created it) and answering our questions. Thank you again. Sincerely, Wanda S. Supply Chain / Projects / Logistics Leader 3/5/12

 

"I am happy to let you know that I landed a full time position as Business Process Analyst. In the very first FWCSN meeting, one of the resources I heard about was www.CareerDFW.com.  I went to their site and saw where there was an upcoming job fair (on their calendar page).  I attended the fair in October and ended up talking to many hiring managers which resulted in getting invited to 2 follow up face to face interviews...It just goes to show...that you never know where your next job will come from."Byron A. 1/7/12

"This is the first time in my adult life that I have looked for a job.  My first job lasted 16 years, and the second one for 10 years.  Suddenly I find myself in uncharted territory, often not knowing what I am “supposed” to do next. I am really touched by persons such as you.  You give your time and your talents unselfishly, in order to empower us with more/better tools that will enrich our job search, as well as making it more productive and effective. You also do a great job of maintaining the integrity and plethora of information on the CareerDFW website.  You don’t have to do all of this for us, but I personally want to say Thank You. Best Wishes," Linda W. (Order Management, Logistics, Sales Ops) - 7/14/10
