In my late 50s, I had been working contract positions for eight years. I attended multiple interviews without success. When I visited CES, I didnt expect help as I already had a job. But I met Jordan, who was professional, patient, and kind. She helped modernize my rsum, proofread my cover letters, sent me job leads, and prepared me for interviews. Thanks to her support, I received a permanent full-time position after my second interview.- CES client Oct. 2023 #J-18808-Ljbffr
