"Dorothea approached me last week in the Resource Library and offered her assistance in my job search. She engaged me in a pleasant conversation and determined what I was looking to do for work. Ten minutes later she came back with a job prospect that was what I wanted to do, located where I wanted to work, and at the desired pay rate. I was impressed by her initiative and knowledge and the ease with our conversation. She may have helped me find my “dream job” and showed me some new tools to use in my search."- Mike Anderson

"I want to thank you for all of your help during the Résumé Writing course. I was admittedly discouraged before I went to CareerPoint and was sure that I would not be able to find a job that would be a good match for me, but your positive attitude gave me the push I needed to recognize that I indeed do have marketable skills – even without having a “Paying” job for many years. Per your suggestion, I highlighted my transferable skills on my résumé and was fortunate enough to find a company that recognized and appreciated my highly unconventional background! I would not have been able to do it without your help. Thank you so much for everything!" - Judy Beluzo

"It would be hard to say which services were most valuable to me because the services are well integrated to support the job search process. Two services, however, that I found most useful were Job Club where I was able to exchange job search sites, successes and failures with other job seekers and one on one where I was able to explore the many employment options. The training that I received at CareerPoint allowed me to achieve my life long dream of being a self employed cabinet maker." - Donald Haynes
