Jodi Baer couldn't have been more helpful and supportive
Jodi was terrific! Rarely do I answer my phone when an unknown number comes up. I'm really glad I did this time. Jodi was great. She took the time to get to know me on a personal level, which I think is key when selecting appropriate employment for people. She got me an interview within a week of our first contact, and I'm happy to say I'm working there now. Jodi was in constant contact every step of the way. Extremely helpful and friendly.
Even after my hiring we continue to talk weekly. Like I said - really glad I answered that call! It was absolutely clear that Jodi truly cared about finding the right spot for me and now I'm looking at a tremendous opportunity due to her help. In short, Jodi rocks!
