   Employment Services had a great impact on potential employers noticing me. It
   made my job search so much easier! I highly recommend using CONTACT
   Employment Services' friendly services!"
   
   Robert S
   

 * "With CONTACT Employment Services professional training curriculum and
   supportive staff, I was able to obtain my ACZ License and will be starting
   full- time employment with a large well established local transportation
   company. Without help from Heather and the CONTACT Employment Services team,
   I feel this outcome would not have been possible. Thank you."

   you so much Lisa for the effort you put in for me. Thank you CONTACT
   Employment Services."
   
   Maria O
   

 * "Without the help and caring support from Lisa of CONTACT Employment
   Services  and family/friend supports, I would still be wondering “can I
   really do this?” I would recommend CONTACT Employment Services to anyone
   looking for work and wanting to find out information on government programs
   available to you."
   
   Angie H
   

 * "Lisa at CONTACT Employment Services became my “go-to girl”. Her great
   recommendations on updating my resume, helping me prepare for job interviews,
   talking me through my fears, and her wonderful advice, helped me land a
   wonderful opportunity. This support is the reason I received work within 2
   months of being laid off."

   a lot of respect for him and already trust him.  Thank you, I really
   appreciate your kind words.”

   thanks to CONTACT Employment Services, The Ministry of Training Colleges and
   University and Liaison College I am on my way to becoming a chef"

   Scott R
   

 * "Your ideas and recommendations were exactly what was needed.  In today’s
   busy business world, this is an example where all things “clicked.” No matter
   the outcome, your participation in bringing our son together with someone who
   can give him the financial advice he needed, will long be remembered by me. 
   Thank you CONTACT!"

 * "You made me feel very comfortable and explained to me how sometimes we get
   into situations beyond our control.  Our family, because of you, got
   financial assistance that we did not know even existed.  I hope to be back to
   work very soon and have everything functioning at a normal pace from here on
   in.  Without your help, my family would never have made it.  Words can’t
   express the difference you made in our lives."
