In the last six years in Chicago, I’ve gotten a number of jobs, each one an advancement to my career, all placed through Job Link. I’m extremely satisfied with my current position. Job Link really helped get me a great placement and I know I can always give them a call if I’m looking to further develop my career. Thank you!” – Ruth

  • “Over the years, I’ve been in contact with Job Link numerous times. They’ve assisted me with writing a résumé (from scratch!), preparing me for interviews, and negotiating a salary. I’ve found their advice to be extremely helpful and on target. I appreciate that our community has a resource that is always available to discuss any job-related matter. Just recently, they notified me of another position that they thought might interest me. They updated my résumé and sent it to the employer. It turned out to be a great lead, and I just took the job, which will provide supplemental income! Thank you so much for continuing to keep me in mind.” – G.F., Facilities Manager

  • "I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to Job Link, for their general assistance, and particularly for coaching me through the interview process. I found the staff at Job Link to be kind and sympathetic. They revised my résumé - making it more concise in a clean format and one which could be worked with easily when adding or removing text as per job application. When I noticed that I did not do well in an interview for a position that was somewhat below my level of experience, I contacted Job Link again and requested help for future interviews. They kindly analyzed what some of the issues at the previous interview might have been, and more importantly how to conduct oneself during an interview for the future.” – L.C., Oral History and Reference Manager at Pritzker Military Museum & Library
