I recently received a letter of recognition for Jennifer Porter. This job seeker clearly spent time writing it. This is not the first time we have been notified about the quality of her work here at GoliathJobs.

Good job Jennifer! We appreciate your hard word. See below:

Subject: Amazing Employee!

Mr. Mezzapelle,

I signed up on your website today to apply for a design position. I had a question and have been e-mailing on & off with one of your employees, Jennifer Porter. I just wanted to tell you what a great employee you have on your hands. She answered all my questions, helped me, and did it in the most caring way. Many times employees are quick and want to brush you off to get on with their day but Mrs. Porter was the complete opposite. She was so amazing that I posted a bulletin directing all my friends to your site and hope to bring you a lot of business, all because of Mrs. Porter.

Usually my e-mails to companies are to complain about employees because they are just not where they should be, but Mrs. Porter was so great that I thought she deserved the utmost respectively written letter of recognition.

I hope she gets recognized for how she goes above and beyond her job duty to make your customers happy.

Thank you for your time Mr. Mezzapelle.

Have a beautiful day,
Kornelia A. Rybitwa

I thought you would enjoy the video below. It not only addresses the large endowments at certain schools, it also addresses the ever-increasing cost of college. These costs weigh on low income and middle income families.  An internship can help. 

Many people do not realize that internships serve several purposes. First, an internship can provide income during college. This income can help cover some of the costs of attending college such as incidentals, books, rent if applicable, food, tuition, etc. (I can’t say “beer money” so I won’t). Second, an internship can reduce the number of elective courses a student is required to take. That reduction allows the student to focus harder on other classes while gaining valuable experience (and income) toward their major. Third, an internship paves the way to a future career post graduation.

At your convenience please watch the brief video. You will notice that my alma mater, Fairfield University, is featured.

We started adding testimonials to the GoliathJobs “About Us” page. I thought I would post a few of them below for our readers.  To see more, please visit the about us page at http://goliathjobs.com/pages/about/ and scroll to the bottom.

TESTIMONIALS:

“We are really enjoying GoliathJobs, and can you believe our grads are getting the jobs already! We also incorporated this with our students taking the career development class which introduces them to job search techniques. Thank you for all your help and support.” -Lorena Turner, Branford Hall Career Institute

“GoliathJobs is great. Within 5 minutes I was registered and had posted our positions. That same day we started seeing qualified applicants. I also appreciate the simple, user-friendly environment and spam-free communications. The fact that it is free makes it the perfect HR solution for any organization.” -Van Morris, U.S. Microgrid

“This is the best job search resource available! In addition to jobs posted directly on the site, I can search all the job boards in one simple location. I recently landed a nursing internship which I am currently enjoying. Now, I am lining up interviews for a full-time job after graduation this May. All through GoliathJobs.” -Jennifer Miller, California State University

“The thing I enjoy about GoliathJobs is that it gives a good profile of the individual and the school, even if I’m not familiar with them. It’s an added tool that the other (job) boards don’t have. I also like receiving e-mail alerts on who has responded to the job posts.” -Fred Gill, New York Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA)

“Other job boards don’t deliver the specific benefit that GoliathJobs does. Large job boards like Monster can be unwieldy and pretty unproductive. You can go to Monster and you look up account executive. You get tons of listings, but you can’t verify if they’re real jobs. I believe GoliathJobsOver50 will also be a hit since I have received requests from long-graduated alums looking for this type of service.” -Judson Saviskas, Fairfield University Office of Alumni Relations

Thank you and have a good weekend. Enjoy the Superbowl! I grew up in the New York area but I also went to school in New England. I am not going to say whether I prefer the NY Giants or the New England Patriots! Since I am a marketing person, I look forward to the commercials as well.
