Candice's Story
Relocating to F-M-WF
Meet the Staff

 

 

 


Thank you for your wonderful referrals. Perhaps you'll be able to relate to one of these situations. The most recent stories appear first.


Hi Faye,
I'm sorry I have not attempted to contact you before this, however things have been very busy in the office.  I wanted to thank you for putting my name forth. I absolutely love this job! It is fun, exciting, and everyone is so pleasant!  I am having a wonderful time.

Thank you!
Sarah

Hello Faye, 

Thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule to meet with me. I really appreciate it a lot! So far my experience has been great! I enjoy that the staff is happy, helpful & friendly. Its always really nice to feel important when you walk into a business--I felt this way when I walked into Preference Personnel yesterday and today!
Thank You,
Tracy

Hello Darlene,
Just a note to show my appreciation for the help you have given me.  Thank you for all your time and effort with helping me find a new job. 
Sincerely,
Brad

Jon-
Thank you for all your help and support during my contract work at ****.  It has been a pleasure working with professionals!  I appreciate all your time and efforts. 
Amy

Todd-
Thank You so much for all the hard work that you do! I have dealt with 6 other temporary agencies and found that you and Preference Personnel OUTSHINE all of them by going above and beyond what has to be done.
Many Thanks, Ron

Thanks Faye…I appreciate everything you guys have done for me – I would probably still be unemployed looking for a job without your help! I will definitely keep in touch – thanks again!
Holli

Kara,
I would like to thank you very much for your efforts on my behalf during my career search!  The folks at Preference were extremely professional and very nice in general.  I believe you have found me a new home for many years to come here at ****.   I can not express enough the relief that I felt when the position was offered and I knew at that point I would not have to move away from my daughters.  Words are not enough for the gratitude that I feel towards all of you at Preference.  I will be referring you to any and all of my friends if they are in search of employment in the future.
Thanks again!
P.S. My only regret is that I doubt I will need your services again after this placement!

Derek

Jon,
A big thank you for helping me get employed, and so fast to boot. I look forward to representing you and Preference Personnel at this new position. I look forward to my first day!
Jeffrey

Kara,
First week is coming to an end at ****.  The people are friendly and atmosphere is casual but exciting.  Things are happening all the time!
Thank you again for your help in finding me the perfect job!
Sincerely,
Debby

Dear Jon and Faye,
I would like to extend my greatest thanks to the two of you for helping me find a career.

Last April I had submitted my resume online, the next day Jon called me to have me come in and get started.  That day I met with both of you, got registered, took all my tests, and had an interview.  Since everything was starting off so fast, I was very enthused that you guys were actually going to help me!  At that point I was desperate for a job and I thought anything would be nice.  Little did I know that you were going to not only find me a job, but a career.

Since that day (I think it was April 10, 2009), I have been employed with ****.  I started off as a temp, but after those first three months were up, **** hired me as one of their own with open arms.  Yesterday I was promoted!  I am really excited and am very grateful for both of you and what you do.

So once again thank you so much!  I have told many people my story about Preference and how you were so helpful in my time of need.  I will continue to recommend you to everyone.

Keep up the great work!
Haley

Kara,
Thank you so much for all of your help over the last few weeks. You have helped me find my confidence again!

Thanks for all you have done for me.
Mary

Faye-
Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate EVERYTHING you have done for me. I wanted you and your co-workers to share in my JOY!! I hope you enjoy the meat and cheese tray. It's the least I could do for people like you.
Thank you, Faye. You are very dear to me.
Linda

Hi Faye,
I just wanted to thank you again for all your help over the past couple of months. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have Preference helping me out on this employment/ vocational journey! I really appreciate everyone's hard work -- you're a great organization to work with!
Thanks and have a great weekend! 
Sam

Kendra-
We want to thank you for continuing to take the time out of your busy schedule to speak to our clients in the workshop.  You don't realize the impact you have on our clients.

Thank you so much for the help you've given me this year on my Safety Program.  I really appreciate all the questions you answered for me.  You have been a real life saver!
Karen

Kara- 
Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving and tell you that I am thankful for you and your help!  Your assistance throughout my career search has been so great and it is reassuring to have someone in my corner. 
Christy

Dear Faye,
Thank you for all the help you have given me with my job search.  I especially appreciate your willingness to find the job I was looking for.  Your assistance has been invaluable to me during this process.  Again, thank you so much.  I greatly appreciate your generosity.
Best Regards,

Faye-
Thanks again for your help.  I really do appreciate how you make this so much easier for me.
Melissa

Todd-
Thanks for the treats, just what I needed this afternoon!  Sounds like you are doing wonderful job once again at keeping us staffed.  Thank you!  We couldn’t accomplish our funky projects without you.
Best regards,
Janelle

 

Hi Faye!
I want to thank you for everything you did for me during my time at Preference!  I met so many nice people which made it harder for me to retire but I feel the time was right now.  **** was a great place to end my career.  You're the greatest, Faye!
Betty

I just wanted to tell you once again how much I appreciate all the hard work that Kendra and Todd put in for getting people here for our hectic schedules.  We always have a quick response to our calls for more help and know we can rely on Preference for helping to get our projects done on time. 

Sincerely,
Michele

Hello Kara,
I have never had the opportunity to thank you for your kind assistance in finding me a job but it might interest you to know that I had the most rewarding experience and exposure to the industry and I will carry them with me forever, where ever I go.  And it's all because of you.  And again, my utmost gratitude goes to you for your dedication in helping people like myself in finding a job. 
Thank you once again, Kara, and more power to you and Preference Personnel. 
With gratitude,
Joy

Kara:
I made it through my one year anniversary at *****.  Things are going great and I can't believe how much I have learned over the last year.  I hope things are going well for you.  Thanks so much for your help last summer.
Mike

Mr. Kerzmann,
Thank you for your assistance in finding a job.  Your professional demeanor has been very much appreciated.  I look forward to working with you in the future.
Cheryl

Dear Ms. Krogstad:
Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to conduct a mock interview with me.  It is through people like you, willing to share your time that students are able to gain valuable interview experience as they prepare for the workforce.  As a student finishing my degree, I found the interview to be very informative and helpful in anticipation of an actual job interview. 
Again, thank you for your time and the great interview experience.
Sincerely,
William

Hey Jon.
Just wanted to touch base with you…things here are AWESOME!!! ***** is great to work for and they are all great to work with…she asked me yesterday when I was going to quit being a temp and be able to actually work for HER!  Thanks for you help again! Out of all the different temp agencies I was connected to, you’re the only one who came through for me!!!!
Angel

Kendra-
Just a note to thank you for all your help and for encouraging me when I needed it.  You do a great job - a great service to persons who may be down on their luck and there's a reason God placed you in the profession you are in.  Keep up the good work!
Karen

Kendra Krogstad (Miss K) did a wonderful job teaching the Junior Achievement Program in my first grade classroom.  She had a great rapport with the children, had strong control of the 19 fidgety children, was well prepared for her lessons, and presented herself very confidently in her knowledge of subject matter.  I would be very happy to have her come back any time!  Thank you so much for sending her our way!!
Donna

Candice,
Thank you for your time earlier this week.  It was nice to connect and get to know a legend like you.  I have met some great people in my search and you are at the top of the game.  Your time is and was appreciated.  I look forward to great things for myself. 
All the best,
Brad

Hi Faye,

I just wanted to say thank you for everything! I am thrilled to become a permanent employee at *****, and you helped me get my foot in the door (a few times!!).
Thanks Faye!
Melinda

Faye,
Thank you for working with me and finding me another wonderful place to work.  I really appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Dawnyell

Kara,
It was so nice to see you today and I feel reassured by your words of support. Thank you for taking the time this afternoon and following through with the information we talked about. I am excited about what lies ahead!  It is truly difficult to transition, but I am hopeful for a new opportunity to serve that will open up unforeseen challenges and joys. Your kindness, professionalism, and expertise are much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Julie

Dear Faye,

hank you for the opportunity to work with Preference Personnel and *****. Both you and the ***** team are awesome to work with!  Thank you for the opportunity to work with you. I have enjoyed working here very, very much.
Sharon
 

Dear all at Preference Personnel,
I was struggling to find a job for the longest time. Preference went above and beyond for me and also believed in me. I am taking each day at a time, but you are so wonderful and truly caring. I worked mostly with Faye, Jon and Kara in my search, but everyone at Preference makes the company so great! Thank you all for your hard work. You are helping so many start the journey to their dream job!
Erica 

Hey Jon,

I just wanted to say Thank You to you and everyone at Preference Personnel for your help. I really enjoy the people and the working environment here at ********. They were very welcoming and helpful, which made me feel comfortable right away. So Thanks again! Enjoy the great weather! :)    

Sincerely,
Megan

Faye,
I wanted to let you know things are going very well.  I think we have a great match.  Thank you for all your help and continued contact during the hunting process.
Thank you,
Dawnyell

Thanks for your help in this, Faye.  I am so excited to have ****** on board.  This couldn't have worked out any better.
Carolyn

Kendra,
Thank you very much for your presentation last evening.  It was full of good information that the students can use.  They especially liked the interview questions.  Your energetic style is infectious, and you made a very good impression.  Stay in touch and thanks again.
Dave

Faye,
I just wanted to send you an email quick and let you know how things are going on my end (...great!...). I hope you keep in touch - I really do feel that you and others at Preference Personnel helped me get to where I am today...we all have to start somewhere and you helped me find that starting point. I love getting up in the morning and wanting to go to work....Thank you again.
Kelli

Kara,
Thank you very much. It has been very tough searching for a job especially with the economy right now, but I am very thankful that I have much support from the people at Preference, as well as good friends and family. It really meant a lot to me that you went out of your way for me, and that is exactly why Preference is a wonderful company with caring individuals. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Erica

Kendra,
Thank you for representing Preference at Rasmussen's Networking Event!  These events are important and we appreciated all of the speakers.  However, I think it is extremely important for us to bring Rasmussen graduates back to tell current students, "You can do this!" Great Job!  I look forward to working with you in the future!
Thank you,
Brian


 

Dear Mr. Tschosik,
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you regarding the position in Fargo.  Your client would be an excellent company to work for.  It was a pleasure to meet with you and I hope to continue working with you in the future.
Allen G.


 

Kara –
Kelly enjoyed her time at your office yesterday. It was good for her to hear that she is talented and competent.  Often being an at home mom, volunteering and doing part-time work, doesn't get the respect one deserves from others. The kindness of you and your staff was much appreciated!
Jay


Preference Team,
    I have always been grateful to your agency’s staff for my job here. I would not have found out about this position anywhere else, and it was and still is definitely fateful for me! Please greet Candice and Larry for me.    
Wendy
 


Faye and Kara, 
    I apologize that I haven't had a chance to get in touch with you earlier, but of course the new job, school, and the family have been keeping me busy.  I wanted to take a minute to let you two know how much I appreciate everything that you have done for me.  The new job is going fantastic. I am so excited and happy to be starting my career in Accounting.  It's so awesome to wake up every day and actually want to go to work.  Preference is such a great resource that I am so glad I got the opportunity to take advantage of.  You both played a very large role in my career search. I can't even express how thankful I am.
    Faye- You had so much faith in me the minute I walked into your office.  I'll admit that it definitely boosted my confidence.  It was great to know that you were putting so much energy into finding me an accounting position.  I'm so thankful that you recommended me to Kara so quickly after learning of this opening.
    Kara-  Even before you had met me face to face you also seemed to put so much faith into me.  You were (and continue to be) absolutely awesome.  I appreciate the time and effort you put forward to make me the first candidate interviewed and also to contact my references.
Thanks again ladies.  I hope you will both keep in touch.  Have a great weekend!
Kelly

 

Darlene,
    Thank you so much for all of your wonderful help in helping me latch onto a great temp job through Preference Personnel. You and the rest of the Preference staff treated me in the most professional and courteous manner every step of the way. The temp job lasted just the right amount of time, it helped my family financially, and it was also the start of my new permanent full-time job!
Thanks again!
Steve

Kara and Loren,
    I saw the booklet out on the tables and saw the “thank you” letters. I wanted to thank both of you for being very easy to communicate with. Kara, you were awesome because you got me in touch with the person who would fit me best and get me some great opportunities. Loren, I appreciate everything that you did for me. You were very easy to speak with and kept me up to date with any decisions etc that were being made. You looked for spots that would fit for me, but also for things that would make me happy with life in general!
    Preference Personnel is truly a great staffing agency because of you two!
    I have told many of my friends and former colleagues to have you search for a better place for them as well. So with my shiny new email signature from where you placed me…..
Thank you VERY much!
Mitch H.
New Accounts Manager

Jon,
    Just a quick note to thank you for helping me get a job. Not only the job, but the company name fits me perfectly! You really did find a job for me that I enjoy going to every day, and I appreciate that. I just finished my three month probationary period, so I'm officially hired. Again, thank you for helping me find my job!
Take care,
Elizabeth

Faye,
    I have been remiss in thanking you for your diligence and excellent service in our search for that position that "just fits the bill"! Things are proceeding quite nicely here with an excellent staff and HR paving the way. I have recommended you and your company to others and will continue to do so.
Thanks again!
Marvin O.

Candice,
    I just wanted to follow-up and say thanks for meeting with me about my job search! I enjoy visiting with you, and appreciate the "personal touch" you take when trying to match me up with a job. It's easy to see why your business is so successful. I look forward to talking with you again soon!
Sincerely,
Scott H.

Faye,
    I would like to thank you for all of your help! You have been amazing, and I know you tried your hardest and put your heart and soul into finding proper placement for others, and that takes a special type of person! Words cannot explain how happy I am with the service I have received. You are awesome!
Melissa S.

Faye,
    I had a break in my full time job with the **** and started working for Preference Personnel in 2002.  I liked the flexibility in my work schedule and really enjoyed the variety in the different part-time positions I held.  Not only did this offer me the opportunity to learn about the different businesses in the area, but also I had the opportunity to broaden my horizons and learn new skills. From VIN numbers to learning how to use a postage machine, sharing my skills and learning new ones, I have truly enjoyed my experience with Preference Personnel. Working as a temp not only gave me the opportunity to see how I would like working for a specific company, it gave the company an opportunity to see what type of employee I would be. Preference has always offered me positions that fit with my skills and interests.  I am pleased to have found a full time position with ****.  It is a wonderful place to work-professional, friendly, and people oriented.

Joan 

Greetings Faye,

Thank you for meeting with me today. I am pleased that I came in at the right time to get you. It was getting a little frustrating after looking for a position all summer and not finding the right one. Visiting with you lifted my spirits and your suggestions made sense. I can see myself in a professional office serving as their receptionist meeting people.

I look forward to working with you in the future.

Cordially,
Karen A.

Dear Kara,

Thank you so much for being an advocate for me in finding the right job! It took awhile, but I am sure it will have been worth the wait!

Warmest Regards,
Jennifer D.

Hey Kara,

We played phone tag for quite some time as I was getting hired for the sales position, plus we never did get a chance to make contact. I just wanted to send out a thank you for working so hard. It was a pleasure working with you, and I appreciate all your efforts. I’m referring you to a friend who is currently looking for a new career shift. His name is Matt, and I’m sure he’ll be contacting you within a few weeks. Once again, thank you for everything. I hope to hear from you again in the near future.

Sincerely,
Josh H.

Dear Mrs. Jorvig:

Thank you for all the help you have given me with my job search. I especially appreciate the information and advice you have provided, and the contacts you have shared with me.

Your assistance has been invaluable to me during this process. Again, thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your generosity!

Mike B.
 

Jon,

Everything is going great here at ****! I really like it here, and everyone is very nice so that makes it all the more enjoyable to be here! Thanks so much for everything Jon! Hope you're having a great summer so far.

Lauren P.

Hi Faye,

Things are going really well so far. I really like the job. The work is enjoyable and the workplace is very casual, i.e., everybody wears jeans and tennis shoes every day. The benefits are very good. Also, I think there is a lot of opportunity for promotion--the company is growing so much.

I wanted to email you and say Thank You! for getting me this great job! I know the work rather well, know lots of people there, and feel like I'm getting along rather well.

I've been getting overtime for the past three or four weeks and work some Saturdays too. It's very exciting. Really, thank you so much for calling me and getting me in with the training group that next morning. I tell everyone about that - it's a great story. I am very lucky. Thank you again.

I will keep you informed on how things are going, but don't hesitate to email me or call me to say hi.

Sincerely,
Tom G.

Kara,

Thank you so much for helping me find a great job! I am very excited to work for ****. Please keep in touch and I will do the same!

Thanks again!
Steven R.

Jon,

Thanks for the reply but I was just offered a position at another company that I accepted yesterday. Thank you for your time and effort. Preference Personnel in my opinion thru my job searches is the best placement center in Fargo.

Andrew L.

Hey thanks a lot Jon!

You had great communication with me throughout my search and if ever in the position again, I will for sure get a hold of you.
Preference is lucky to have a resource such as yourself.

Thanks again and have a great day!
Ryan J.

Hey Faye!

After doing an initial job hunt yesterday I've decided just to move home until my departure for Japan. Not only does it make financial sense, it'll be nice to be with my family before I leave for 1-2 years. Sorry, I should have waited to contact you until after I did a job hunt, but I am deeply grateful for all the hard work you, Jon, and Preference put into finding me the PERFECT temporary position after college graduation. It's made the transition from student to tax payer much easier :)

Once again thank you so much for everything you've done!

Best Regards,
Aandrea L.

Dear Jon and Kara,

Thank you so much for the card. You have no idea how much that meant to me! It is truly amazing to see how much that you care about the people that you place. I feel so grateful to have come to Preference and for the great experience that I have had.

Reflecting upon my experience,  I also want to say that I truly think that you and all the people at Preference are working out the plans of the Lord when you help people to their next step in life. I am so amazed at all the encouragement that you gave me every step of the
way.

I also believe that you placed me at the perfect job! While there are hard moments, I strongly believe that I get to use my talents everyday and the people are very nice. I also have excellent co-workers and a great manager. What an awesome placement!!

Special thanks also to Faye (for all the temp assignments) and to Claudia (a wonderful, smiling face who always offers a kind word).

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Amanda G.

Dear Candice,

Thank you for meeting with me this past Monday and for arranging the interview with ****. I can see why Preference Personnel is so highly rated in the Fargo-Moorhead area! We'll see how this opportunity works out. I enjoyed my visit there and would like the opportunity to help them in their finance department.

Thank you again! I will be in touch soon!

Joel M.

Hello Jon!

I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that I am having a fantastic time at ***. The training is going very well, and I really enjoy the trainers, and I am really getting along well with people in my training class. Made some new friends even!

We got a tour the first day of work, found our desks, and they even treated us to lunch!

Thank you for telling me about this great opportunity. I know I am going to love it here!

Thanks again!
Lindsay

Faye,

I want to let you know that I have an interview today with ***. Thank you for getting my foot in the door here. They are a great company to work for!

I will let you know what happens.

Joe

Todd,

I want to let you know that I appreciate what you have done for me. Thank you Todd!

I wanted to thank you again for your assistance along the way in getting the job with ****. The month has flown by, and I am enjoying my new job, the people and the company culture very much!

Thanks again!
Mike H.

Faye,

I want to thank you, Jon, and the rest of the staff for all the hard work you guys do. You guys helped make one of my dreams come true. I couldn't have asked for a better place to work.

Preference Personnel - "Where careers are made."

Sincerely,
Nizar A.

Jon,

I know you guys know this, but you are really wonderful to work with!

Danielle B.

Dear Candice:

Thank you for visiting with me on Tuesday after the job fair. I am impressed by the professionalism of your company. You lined me up with Tania and we had a good visit.

I look forward to working with Preference Personnel!

Sincerely,
Karen S.

Hey Jon,

Thanks much for the flowers. That was very nice. My first day went well, and I am thinking I made a good choice.

Thanks for all of your help!!

LouRae

Kara,

I just wanted to write you a quick not to let you know how much Matt and I both appreciate the work you put into placing us at our jobs. We are both really enjoying our positions, so I can't thank you enough!

Take care,
Carrie W.

Dear Mrs. Hoven,

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the mock interview process with me today. I continue to be impressed with Preference Personnel's outstanding dedication to helping individuals succeed in their search for a meaningful career. It is the primary reason I have referred so many colleagues to your company for more than 10 years.

This interview process provided me an opportunity to practice skills I have not had to utilize for many years; and as such, I was appropriately nervous. However, your positive feedback and critique of my interview answers gave me valuable insight into both my strengths and weaknesses.

This was an enlightening experience for me, and I am so glad to have had your help. Thank you again for your time and participation in this assignment. I hope to one day have the pleasure of working with you again.

Sincerely,
Sara H.

Todd,

I'm sending this card in appreciation for finding me the job with ****. They took me into the plant and showed me what the company does.
This is a job worth trying! Thank you!

Sincerely,
Baridi N.

Kara,

Thank you so much for all of your help! I appreciate it more than words can say! Hope that you have a wonderful week and I look forward to seeing you around!

Shannon C.

Hi Kara,

I just wanted to send you a little email, thanking you for all your help on finding me my new job at ****. I just made it through my second day with with them, and I am enjoying every minute of it. Everyone is so nice, helpful and definitely make me feel welcome with them. Anyways, once again THANK YOU.

Take Care,
Jenny W

Hello Kara!!

I'm sorry this has taken me forever to write to you! It has been one crazy-busy month! But in a good way! First, I would like to thank you for this AWESOME opportunity to work at ****. I am very much enjoying it! I would say my favorite part of the job so far is Aviation! Imagine that. I love the different aspects of it as well as it is constantly busy. I am really enjoying the Monday through Friday job with the weekends off. I feel like my weekends are now booked a month in advance! Haha

Once again, THANK YOU for helping me find such a wonderful job opportunity! The people are so nice and helpful here!!

Talk to you soon,
Megan K.

To Faye, Jon, and Everyone at Preference Personnel,

I just wanted to thank you for helping me find a position at ****. I absolutely love what I do and the people I work with; I couldn't have asked for a better job! Your hard work and flexibility with my schedule was greatly appreciated, and I look forward to working with you in the future!

S F

Candice and Larry,

I am very grateful to Preference Personnel - especially Jon and Kara.

Jon did so much for me - keeping me positive through the rejections, strengthening my resume, guiding me for interview etiquette and continually encouraging me. He kept searching and did find a great fit for me at ****.

Thank you for hiring wonderful people like Jon!

Peg B.

Hi Candice,

I wanted to thank you for your work in helping me get the job at ****. I was beating the bushes by myself, trying to find a job with not much success, and then I went into Preference Personnel and bingo! New job! Thanks again, **** is a great place to work, and I am enjoying the new challenges.

Sincerely,
Glenn H
.

Jon,

I would like to thank you for the awesome opportunity you gave me at ****! I couldn’t have asked for a better first job experience. I am really excited it all worked out, and they wanted to keep me. I really do own you a huge THANKS! You did a great job!

Thanks again,
Krista

Faye,

I am loving my new job!! Have you heard if they feel the same about me? I really want this to be a great place for me to grow some roots and wings.

I thank you so much for helping get this wonderful opportunity!!!

Thank you,
Rebecca

Jon,

Thank you so much for calling about this job! I'm really enjoying it so far, and I really look forward to working here for a long time. Thanks again!

Tanya

Faye,

I wanted to take a moment to send a wholehearted thank you for thinking of me when the opportunity with the Foundation came along. This job's duties and environment are a great fit for me, and I know without a doubt that they wouldn't have even considered my application had I simply submitted my resume.

When I started with Preference, I was only there because I needed a paycheck and I couldn't afford to wait for a half-decent job to land in my lap; I didn't actually expect it to present an opportunity for fulfilling permanent work, to be honest. But to my delight, it did. I should have given it a bit more credit.

My mom is now job-hunting as well after the closure of their business and their move to Iowa. She's just not getting anywhere in the typical resume/application process, so I keep telling her to try temping because of my success with it! She's not convinced yet, but I'm working on her.

Thank you so much, once again.
LeAnna

Hello Kara & Loren!

Thank you! It is so great to START 2008 in Fargo. I knew something would come along, and I just had to be patient. I am working for SUCH a great company...wow! Great people, great focus, great teamwork...it's amazing!

I hope you had a great New Year. Thanks for your help relocating to Fargo.

Nicole

Hi Kara!

Thanks for the nice message you left on my voicemail. Yes, I did get a job. I am not working in the recruiting department, but I absolutely love my job and the people I work with.....sometimes it pays to wait so long! Anyways, I wanted to thank you for keeping me posted and all of your effort in trying to find me a job. Your retention was above and beyond any staffing firm in the area that I worked with.

Happy New Year!

Amber

Dear Faye,

Just a personal note to say hello and thank you for helping me find a job last year. This past year has been an exciting time of trying new things and further developing my skills.

As you may recall, after helping *** with his campaign last fall, I went out to Bismarck and worked as the Journal Reporter for the ND House of Reps. What an experience! It was very exciting to watch the political process first hand. Now back in Fargo again, I am the Office Manager for the commercial division of ***.

Thank you again for all you did for me - and are doing for others! And congratulations to Preference on 20 years!

Have a great Christmas!
Liz

Kara,

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit with me. Your advice and encouragement was just what I needed to verify that this is what I need to do! I was so excited on the way home; I couldn't stop thinking about a change. Even my husband made a comment last night about my positive attitude and drive to move forward. I'm ready to do a great job for another company!

The following testimonial was sent to a job seeker from a potential employer:

Alex-

I want to thank you for stopping in and interviewing for the Service Operator position. You had a very strong interview. Unfortunately the position we need to fill is not really an entry level position. We do need some Customer Service related background.

I have spoken with Preference Personnel about possibly assisting you in finding an employment opportunity. I assure you that Preference is the best staffing agency in this area.

If they can find you a job and you gain some Customer Service experience I would encourage you to contact me at a later date and we could look at adding you to our team.

Here is the info:
Preference Personnel
2600 9th Ave SW
Fargo, ND 58103
701-293-6905

If I can be of any further assistance please let me know.

Thanks, Ben S.
Director of Operations

Jon,

I had my first day solo yesterday...I LOVED IT! I feel so comfortable there. I hope everything continues to go well. Thank you for setting me up with a business where I fit in.

Jaci

Dear Kendra,

Thank you very much for the appointment and the opportunity to meet with you! I have experience in housekeeping and consider myself to be a fast learner. I am a hard worker and reliable. Thank you again for meeting with me. I hope you will be able to place me somewhere.

Sincerely, Lisa D.

Dear Ms. Krogstad,

Thank you for your time spent interviewing me for open positions. Preference Personnel has long been a leader in the temporary employment industry, but I was unaware that they handled professional positions as well.

I look forward to becoming a member of the PPI team.

Respectfully, Michelle C.

I've been in my current position since I left Preference but this accounting position was something that caught my eye so I thought I'd go
for it and have an interview today! Thanks again and I will certainly keep Preference in mind. As the office manager I hired 2 temps from Preference last month and both were great to have!

Gail

Faye,

As discussed this morning, please find my revised resume attached. Thank you for the conversation this morning...it helped me tremendously.

Dear Candice,

I'm not sure if I've ever told you how much I appreciate the work you have done placing me in the past. I like working with your company because you genuinely care about the people you're placing. You follow up and as my resume changes over the years due to education and job experience, so do the qualified leads you put in front of me.

I've had the opportunity to work with several other staffing/placement companies in the past due to "tips groups" and relationships I had prior to meeting you, and I can honestly say that there is good reason why you are the staffing leader. Other companies just want to place you, get paid and move on to the next person. They're not as concerned about placing you in the right position. The way you treat people who walk through the doors at Preference Personnel keep them coming back and gives you a great "roster" of people to place. The reputation of having that great "roster" is what keeps a business owner turning to Preference Personnel more often than not. That's why when I'm interested in a career change all I have to do is call you.

Thanks again for all that you have done for me and my family. Every time you place me in a new position it allows me to provide better for my family and I can never thank you enough for that. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Sincerely, Eric G. R.

Hi Jon,

I got your message today, and I just wanted to reply back to let you know that my job is going very well. I started off training as a member of their inside sales team, but was permanently placed as a ***** at the end of the second week. I couldn't have been more thrilled. Right now we are finishing up our entry training and will hopefully start working with partner accounts by the end of the week.

As for the company itself, everyone is very helpful and friendly. My time here is off to a great start, and I'm looking forward to truly settling
into my position.

Thank you for all of your help. It was so nice to be able to come back to Fargo and get started on my job search right away, being kept informed every step of the way and having someone "in my corner" when it came to finding a job. My experience with Preference couldn't have been more positive.

Thanks again!

Sincerely, Aimee F.

Jon,

Thanks so much again for your help-it was a breeze working with you compared to trying to find a job on my own, in a city to which I had just moved, and knew nothing about. So thank you again!!

Sincerely, Amanda

Hello Faye,

Just to give you a heads up. I LOVE THIS JOB!!! I love the people that I work with - they are just so inviting and pleasant to work with. Toni gives me compliments every day on how well I am learning things. Well, I will keep in touch.

Thanks, Melissa C.

Dear Kara,

My sincerest gratitude for your assistance finding me a new job. May this be the start of a long and lasting f friendship. More power to Preference Personnel!

Joy M.

Good morning Faye,

Things are going very well here at ****. I'm enjoying working here, and the people I work with are great. I was offered a full-time permanent position yesterday, which I am gladly accepting. Thank you very much for everything!

Have a great weekend!

Emily N.

Dear Preference Personnel Team,

My name is Kimberly R. Your team was recommended to me as being a very friendly and wonderful team to work with while searching for that perfect job. I am currently living in Grand Forks, but we will be relocating to the Fargo area this summer. My husband already works in the area so we would like to relocate as soon as possible, and finding a position for me will be a big part of this move. I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to talking to you and hopefully working with you in my current job search.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, Kimberly R.

Faye & Jon,

I'd just like to say thank you for all your time, energy, and hard work you put in for me. I began working at *** on Monday and enjoy what I've learned thus far, along with the people I have met and will be working with. I couldn't have asked for better timing! It was great meeting you both!

Thanks for everything!

Steph M.

Hi Kara,

I just had a couple minutes at the end of the day and wanted to drop you a note to say "Hello!" I wanted to thank you again for assisting me in getting the position at *****. I am so busy I hardly have time to think-but that's what I wanted. I have been getting more tasks lately and really feel comfortable with all the people.

Thanks for believing in me and helping me with my job search!

Have a wonderful week!

Kristy C.
 

Jon,

Thank you! The job here is a perfect match for me! It allows me to use all of my skills and lets me work independently on large projects. Your support and encouragement while we were finding a spot for me meant a lot! It can be tough "out there" in the job market.

Maggie

Dear Kara,

I have been at my new position for about 6 weeks now, and I just want to thank you for your invaluable assistance in finding this job for me. Dennis and Sonja have been wonderful to me and I really enjoy working in a completely different field than before.

I hope you know how much I appreciate your efforts on my behalf in my job search, which as you know had been ongoing for over a year, and I am still amazed at how fast everything went. I never thought that you would find something for me so quickly, in about a week's time, but it was a great outcome.

Thanks again for everything you have done. God's Blessings!!

Rebecca W.

Kara,

Thank you so much for finding my new job for me! I never thought it could be so easy!

Thanks! Kristy C.
 

Darlene,

Thanks! I have quit on you a couple of times and you always took me back. I always tell everyone I know, "Go and talk to Darlene, she has always helped me." Thanks so much, you have a really big heart!

Todd

Hi Loren,

Thank you so much again for taking the time to talk with me about the web/graphic designer position. If the people there are anywhere near as friendly and helpful as you are, I'd certainly enjoy working with them and adding my skills to their team.

Looking forward to hearing from you again, and thank you so much for your consideration.

Cassondra S.

Hi Jon,

It was so nice to meet you last week and again Monday morning! I feel really good about working with you and Preference Personnel because I feel you really understand me and care about my search.

Loren,

Thank you for submitting my resume for consideration to your client. Your assistance in marketing me and arranging the initial phone interview is appreciated. I look forward to your feedback. Thank you again!

Mary H.

Hi Faye!

How are you? I just wanted to let you know that things are going well for me here. I'm really enjoying it! There's also something new to learn, and it's a great change from what I was doing before.

Thank you very much for helping me out!!

Kara,

Thank you so much for all you've done to help me succeed in getting a great job!! I couldn't have done it without your support and positive attitude. I was lucky to have you on my side! You are great Kara!

Vickie G.

Loren,

I am writing to thank you again for your efforts on my behalf with your client. I enjoyed both interviews and appreciate your time and work on my resume submission.

Thank you! Tor

Hello Jon,

I got the Bilingual position, and will be starting on March 26. It is a very good company. Great facility, good training, the best health benefits I've seen, good vacation, and a lot more! So I'm very excited about it.

I want to thank you for all the help you've given me. I was surprised that you guys actually took a lot of time and care to find things that worked for people, and provided help even if it didn't really benefit you directly. Anyway I know where to go if I need quality service.

Sincerely, Yoran M.
 

Kara,

Thank you so much for all that you have done for me! I am so excited to be able to start this new adventure!
Thanks again for everything!

Krysta
 

Faye,

Thank you so much for the Happy Birthday message. I really appreciated it. I got an early birthday present by getting that job. Maybe that is why she hired me before the interview was over. I just wanted to say thank you again for everything. I really appreciate everything you've done.

Thanks again, Angie O.

Faye and Kara,

Thank you both very much for the time and effort you put towards helping me find employment. I am almost finished with a week here, and so far loving it. The people are great and have really made me feel welcome. Again, I thank you for the combined efforts and also for the flowers I received on my first day. You ladies are great!

Kimberly C.

Hi Faye,

Here is my updated resume you requested. Please let me know if there is anything I need to do to improve it in any way.

Faye, I really appreciate all of the help you have given me. I can't thank you enough. I know if it wasn't for you sending me out on different jobs I would not have gained the self-confidence that I now have. And because of you, my self-confidence will just keep growing.

Thank you so much!

Sincerely, Patty

Hi Faye!

Thanks for the email....it brightened my day! This job has held out longer than I ever expected, and has helped me while I search for a job in my field! I appreciate everything you have done for me and finding this position for me! Take care!!

Monica

Happy Holidays, Faye!

You helped give me a wonderful summer in 2006. I will always appreciate your help. I hope you have a wonderful time with friends and family during this holiday season.

Sincerely, Darcie D.

Kara & Candice,

When I came into Preference in August I just wanted to leave my resume to see what was out there. Then you found a sales job and it turned out to be the perfect match for me! Thank you so very very much! I tip my hat to you guys! That's right PREFERENCE PERSONNEL!!! Thanks again!

Kara,

Thank you so much for finding me an admin position with ****. This is truly a wonderful company to work for! I can see myself as part of their company family. I really do appreciate everything you have done!

Jolynn

Thank you, Kara Wald and Preference Personnel!!!!

I am now happily employed by a company that could very well be my “Dream Job” that I have wanted for many years!!!

I moved back to Fargo from St. Cloud in April 2006 after experiencing a second job loss in less than 5 years due to downsizing. I actively spent nearly every waking hour searching for work. During my search, I happened upon an ad for a position posted by Kara. I contacted her, made an appointment to come in to register and do some computer skills testing, and that’s when I had the pleasure of meeting Kara!

She arranged for me to interview for the position I’d inquired about, but I did NOT get the job. These ups and downs that usually come with job hunting can be extremely discouraging. I allowed myself to “sulk” for a short time but then picked myself back up and continued my search.

It wasn’t until late July when I came across another ad that interested me, again posted by Kara. I e-mailed her expressing my interest and inquiring about further details. She again was able to arrange an interview for me, but at that point, I’d had so many disappointments that I truly didn’t have much expectation. BUT…….I was IMPRESSED from the very start of this interview and grew more and more interested as we talked. Afterwards I concluded that this was one of those FEW jobs that I was VERY EXCITED about and not just a “so-so” job for a paycheck!

This was on a Wednesday and I had to wait until the following Monday to hear their decision. I’d tried NOT to get my hopes up too high and just continued looking and applying. THEN………..a phone call from Kara!!! I’ll never forget, it was a Monday afternoon and she asked if I was sitting down. I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!! I was literally jumping up & down in my kitchen in absolute disbelief!!!!!

In hindsight ~ my advice to anyone unemployed or searching for work ~ DON’T PANIC ~ BE PROACTIVE ~ BE PATIENT ~ DON’T GIVE UP ~And I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you………..REGISTER WITH PREFERENCE PERSONNEL IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!

They are WONDERFUL to work with!!!

Debbie W.

Kara,

Thank you so much for all of your help finding me a job! I really appreciate all the hard work and help you did on my part. It is such a relief to have a great opportunity and I am really excited to start. Thanks again so much for all you did! I would be glad to send any job-seekers I know to you.

Kenzie

Faye,

Thank you for everything that you have done for me the past few months, I have really appreciated it. I have also enjoyed my many experiences I have with Preference and the companies I have been placed with. Thank you, again, for everything.

Erika

Candice and Kara,

I want to thank both of you greatly for working with me over the past 2 years; I would definitely refer you guys to anyone that needs help with employment. I have worked with other job placement agencies and NO ONE even comes close to your dedication to job seekers. Hopefully I'll never need to use a job placement agency again, but if I do; Preference Personnel will be the first place I call.

Thank you, Christine R.

Kara,

I wanted to say thank you for all your help! I am very excited about my new job opportunity. It was a pleasure working with you. You are a great asset to the Preference Personnel team!

Nicole

I would like to thank you, Faye, for giving me the opportunity to work with your company and the great job placement you found for me. This is the perfect position. Everybody here is very friendly, and I LOVE what I am doing. Once again, thank you very much for believing in my talents and giving me this chance to prove my abilities.

Cathy N.

Loren,

Thanks for finding a position for Chris – I know he appreciates it. I also want to thank you for working with me as well. Everything went smoothly, and I look forward to our next encounter.

Thanks, Eric

Kara,

You worked so quickly and things just fell into place for your client and me! I'm really looking forward to going to work for them! Thanks for listening to what I was looking for and to what had been lacking in my current job. You are very good at your job!

Delores P.

Faye,

Thanks so much for the flowers you sent me. They sure were a day brightener! I appreciate all of you helping me find my new job. I am looking forward to a long future here!

Linda

Kara

Thank you so much for placing me so quickly! I love my new job! I was very nervous about my situation, and you put my mind at ease. Thanks again for working so hard to help me!

Ashley

Faye & Preference Personnel Staff,

Thank you so much for all you did to help me with my employment. This really is a great place to work, and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. What you guys do is truly amazing!

Thank again, Jamie O.

Kara & Staff,

Thank you very much for your support and hard work. You never gave up on me, and I appreciate that. Your professionalism and knowledge is impressive, therefore I will not hesitate to recommend your services. Thank you for helping me land my dream job! I will keep you posted.

Fondly, Janet M.

Candice,

Thank you for your support, help, and encouragement! And then, thank you again! I don't know where this will lead, but I am excited and grateful for your help! I will be in touch with you after my interview to let you know how things are, and I hope the news will be good! Meanwhile, my best to Faye... Did I say thank you? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

As always, Vaughan

Faye,
Thank you so much for your help finding me a position right away! I love it here at **** and can't wait to see what you find next for me for temporary employment. Have a good week and talk to you soon!

Sincerely, Julie

Todd,

With sincere gratitude and warmest thanks for your efforts and results in finding our employment.

Thank you! Roger & Marilyn

Hi Kara,

I just wanted to say thank you for helping me find the receptionist position. I never expected to find a position so soon, and especially not something I'd enjoy... so thank you SO much.

Sincerely, Cindy Jo

Faye,

I can't begin to tell you how thankful I am for your assistance. I was amazed at how quickly you placed me with such a wonderful company. While it has only been a few days, I am very pleased with my position! Thank you so much. I won't forget it!

Ashley

Darlene,

I want to thank you for the time and effort you put in with regard to helping me find a full-time position that I truly enjoy. Three months just seemed to fly by, and I felt at home with the company from the first. Howard and the rest of the staff have really been great in helping me become acquainted with an industry that I was unfamiliar with.

Again, I thank you for your help and wish you continued success also.

Sincerely, Nancy

Candice and Staff,

I just wanted to thank you all again for your help in placing me. I know I would still be in a dead-end position without all your help. Your staff at Preference Personnel is by far the most professional group of people I have had the opportunity to work with.

Thanks, Stacy

Thank you Faye! I couldn't have asked for a better place to work! Thanks for all your help in setting this up for me. I appreciate it so much! Everyone here is so great to work with...I think it is going to be wonderful!

Julie S.

Professional, excellent, determined and first-class - this is what summarizes Kara Wald. The position I was currently in was a mess. It was a touchy situation and working at the company for only a year, I looked like a "job hopper." Kara assured me it was something we could deal with and there were better opportunities in the job market. Keep in mind, I was not the easiest person to place - I was picky about wage and health insurance. Kara took my information and referred me every chance she could. I had to be patient, and she was persistent. As time passed a great opportunity presented itself and I interviewed for the position. I was offered the job at a higher rate than what I requested. It was such a relief to be able to leave my job and go somewhere else. If I could call and thank Kara everyday I would. I feel back to myself again. This job is ME! The people are awesome and the company is one of a kind. Without Kara I would not be where I am today. Contacting Preference Personnel was the best decision I ever made. I have referred many of my friends who feel the way I did. Kara did an awesome job, and I make sure everyone I talk with knows that.

Kara, thanks for this awesome success story. You are great at what you do! You fit my skills with the perfect job. I know I will be here for a long time!

Again, thank you so much for everything you did for me. You found me an awesome job. I love it here! I could feel the difference from day one in the people. They truly care about their employees. It is such a difference coming to work here. I am sure I will be talking with you soon.

Kim B

Hi Faye,

I just wanted to thank you again for finding me a temporary position. It has been going really well and I am glad to have met many of the people that I work with. Have a wonderful weekend!

Shauna M.

Good afternoon,

Well, so far so good. I think this will be a good place for me. Thank you for the flowers!!!! They made me feel more at home. Sorry it
took a while to acknowledge them, but I've been busy, busy, busy! Thanks again for everything!

Janet

Dear Preference Personnel,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for helping place me in a career that I love.

In January of 2004 I came to you without a job and quite honestly in a hurry to find one. Your team helped me through the application process and really listened to what my needs were. Within one week I had an interview with a company that was a perfect fit for what I was looking for. Since January of 2003 I discovered that the job you placed me in has turned into a career which I love and supports my family.

Thank you again for your professionalism, efficiency and ease to work with. If the need arises I will definitely use Preference Personnel again.

Sincerely, Eric

I’ve worked with Darlene for almost 2 years.  She understands people and knows what she is doing.  She has great connections to find people work.  She’s the best…just a great person! 

Henry

Dear Preference Personnel,

I have a little extra time before our nice holiday break here at **** College. I did find a job in September here as the associate director of annual giving. I get to work with the arts and athletic programs, participate and plan socials and events, and coordinate other interesting projects. I am writing in part to wish you and Preference Personnel a happy holiday season and to thank you for the opportunities you gave me during the past few years.

No matter if I was home for a summer or a holiday break from college, Preference found me temporary positions to help pass the time. These work experiences gave me a broad foundation of office and people skills. I can say the following regarding my temporary work experiences provided by Preference: I am an expert level Microsoft Office user, I can drop what I’m doing to go on an office supply or even a baby clothes errand, I recognize the value of communication and timeliness, I know how to deal cards for a game of Texas Hold ‘Em, I have realized the field of work I want to be in, Care Giver Dogs don’t respond to me unless I have a treat for them, and that continued work is necessary not only to pay the bills, but to enhance a resume. I would like to highlight the last statement as one of the reasons I was hired for my current position. The fact that I held consistent work experience throughout and after college impressed my superiors. The jobs may have been different, but Preference Personnel was a constant.

Sometimes you and your co-workers have a difficult job. You have to deal with unhappy employers, and yes, even unhappy workers. In accord, this letter is to remind you that what you do is important to those who come to you for your assistance and information. I truly appreciate the time you spent in finding me continued work and giving me the experiences listed above. Once again, have a great holiday season. Keep in touch and keep helping employers and employees find each other!


Sincerely, Brianna

PS – That co-worker of yours…I think her name is Kara. She was pretty instrumental in bringing me to Preference. If you could give her a hug for me I’d really appreciate it.

I’ve worked with Todd for two years. He is a very honest and down to earth guy. He always does his best to keep me working and when I am working, he keeps me informed with all of the details that I need.

Alan

The Preference Personnel Family,

Many thanks to all involved in placing me. I love my position, and can’t believe how awesome it is over there. The holidays are a time to count your blessings, so I thank you for a huge one!

Have a very blessed New Year!

Brent

 

Preference Personnel Gals,

Don’t know how in so many ways I can say the word of thank you for everything. I was so surprised when I received the flowers – they are beautiful! I know I will love my job when I get in my own routine - feels like home already and the people are great. I will get in touch with you gals next week.

A word of thanks again! Anne

 

Dear Faye, Kara, and other Preference Personnel Staff,

Thank you so much for keeping me busy with various temp jobs while I continued my search for full-time work. It is, no doubt, due to my experience with you that I was even considered for my position at ***. I have highly recommended you to family and friends who might be looking for work or experience. Keep up the great work!

Sincerely, Heidi

 

I’ve worked with Darlene doing temporary work for almost 12 years. A friend referred me to work with her. When I get done with my farming every year I call Darlene and she finds me a job for the winter that I like and I am comfortable doing. She makes it so easy! I like Darlene and her attitude. Everybody that works at Preference is great, but she’s the best!

Jesse

Dear Faye and Preference Personnel,

Thank you very much for helping me find employment. I have only been there a week now, but I know already that I love this job! My co-workers are friendly and the job itself is challenging and interesting, with the opportunity to keep learning.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you also for the flowers. That was a very nice touch for my first day at work. I will definitely recommend Preference Personnel to anyone looking for employment. We’ll stay in touch.

Sincerely, Sara

 

Dear Kara,                                                                                                   

I never thought at my age I would, or ever could, find the perfect job, but with your help, it has happened.  Who would have ever imagined that at my age (49 and holding), I would change job fields completely and find one that is perfect for me.

The job you found for me pays well, has very good benefits, and the best part is that I have January and February off. As you know, for the past 2 decades, I have spent the majority of February visiting my aging parents while they were wintering in warmer climates and was doubtful that I would be able to continue to do this.

The company that hired me has been so very gracious, kind and helpful. They purchased a new office chair for me, as the other one was too large and somewhat uncomfortable. When I stated to my supervisor how happy I was that they hired me, he stated, “We are the happy ones.” 

I believe that “everything happens for a purpose,” and when I called you on Tuesday, July 5, 2005, and stated I no longer desired to work in the field I was currently in and to please help me find something else, I never imagined that 3 days later I would be offered a job by such a wonderful company. Your test program for Microsoft Word and Excel sharpened my skills and improved my keyboarding speed and accuracy. You have placed me in an office with wonderful co-workers and supervisors. For this, I am truly grateful!

I can’t thank you enough, Kara, for all you’ve done for me!  I am truly blessed!

Thanks again! Dee

 

I’ve worked with Todd off and on for almost 6 years. Todd is always very helpful and friendly. He always keeps me working. He’s an awesome person, very easy to get with, and you can tell him anything.

Michelle

Candice and Staff,

Thank you so much for the opportunity you have given me. I will not let you down. I am so looking forward to starting my new job, thanks to your effort.

Sincerely, Faye

 

Preference Team,

I just wanted to say again how thankful I am to you and everyone at Preference.  Moving here was a big risk for both my husband and myself, but thanks to you the transition has been a lot less scary! Everyone at Preference was so helpful and friendly. I am so glad I called your organization!

Juli

 

Faye,

I would like to thank you for taking the time in helping me locate my new job. I appreciate it very much! I have a feeling that I am going in the right direction—career-wise. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Sincerely, Angie

 

Hi Candice,

I appreciate everything you did for me. I will always remember you. You are one of those people that have a special place in my heart. I always looked forward to seeing you.

Take care, Tammy

 

Dear Kara,

Thank you again for everything you did for me, for your professionalism, your advice, your confidence in me, and your help. You were wonderful to work with, and I told all my friends (and even my co-workers) what a great experience it was to work with you and Candice. I will make sure Jeff is glad he hired me!

Sincerely, Joni

 

Preference Staff,

Thank you for helping me with my job search. You made the process nicer than I was expecting.

Thanks for caring!

Rebecca

 

Dear Faye,

I want to thank you very much for interviewing me Friday afternoon and helping me find a position with ****. I enjoyed meeting you and learning more about Preference Personnel.

I appreciate your honesty and the time that you spent with me. I am looking forward to working with ****** and Preference Personnel this summer. Again, thank you Faye, for all of your time and help.

Sincerely, Lisa

 

Dear Candice,

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your advice yesterday regarding the potential job with ****. I was worried about my options, and that I might have to accept something of that nature. But you laid my fears to rest. For that, I thank you with all my heart. It’s good to know I’m working with such nice and professional people.

Sincerely yours, Misty

 

Faye and Preference Staff,

Thank you for your excellent service those last 2 months. It was greatly appreciated. You found me two excellent temporary placements, which allowed my transition into the Fargo-Moorhead workforce to be more enjoyable. I would not have been able to make it happen through the job-searching experience without you.

My employment though Preference allowed me to financially support my transition, network with F-M natives, and serve wonderful organizations. Thank you once again for all you have done.

Sincerely, Dawn

 

Dear Kara,

I would like to thank you for all your hard work in trying to find me that perfect career. I know that sometimes we get busy and forget to thank those who have helped us so much.

I appreciated that you believe in my ability to perform as a professional. I know that recommending me to your professional customers, business owners, and colleagues could put your own ability and integrity on the line, and that’s a lot to ask for.

So I thank you again for your hard work.

Sincerely, Ronald

Dear Faye 

I am sending this letter to thank you for the opportunity to have been employed by Preference Personnel from June through September 1999. I worked at **** in Fargo as a registered nurse, reviewing medical claims for a special project.

I truly enjoyed working for both Preference Personnel and ****. Both agencies demonstrated atmospheres that created the highest regard for professionalism and administrative competence. Of particular note from a temporary employee, is the fact that both agencies held and displayed the very highest regard for temporary employees. This was especially noted in the areas of allowing the temporary employee to demonstrate trustworthiness, dependability and self-initiative, character traits that must not be casually addressed.

It was truly a most rewarding experience to have had the opportunity to work in this atmosphere as well as the personal flexibility permitted in scheduling work hours. I would be most interested in hearing about and participating in future projects for temporary nurses at ****, especially during the summer months when I work very few hours for my permanent employer.

Again, thank you for this opportunity to work for Preference Personnel, and with ****, my supervisor there, and his team of outstanding nurses. I would look forward to hearing from you again in the future.

Sincerely, Joni

 

Hi Candy,

I just wanted to thank you again for your help. I went to the office yesterday to meet everyone and look around, and I’m really thrilled about starting Monday. This is what I’ve been looking for since I finished Business College 6 years ago! I’ll keep in touch and let you know how well things are going.

Sincerely, Marilyn

 

Dear Ladies,

I want to thank you for all the time and help you gave me in finding me my new job. I’d also like to take this time and thank you for the beautiful carnations that were sent. It made the day even more special.

My job is very interesting. There is so much to learn, but it’s exciting. It’s a big challenge, but I think that’s what I needed again. Once again, thank you for your help and services. Your time and effort was greatly appreciated more than words can say!

Hi Kara,                                                                                                       

I just wanted to send a quick not to say “thank you” for all you’ve done for me!  I really appreciated all your help, and I’m super excited to start my new job!  Thank you for helping me get my foot in the door at **** and thank you for always keeping me posted with what was going on.  You’re very good at what you do!

I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all the help you have given me.  Working with you and Preference Personnel was a great experience!  I just wanted you to know that. 

Thanks again for everything!

Amy

 

I went to Preference Personnel after searching on and off again for a job on my own for several years. I considered myself hard to place because I had entered a specialized field of employment as a 911 dispatcher. My education and work experience was that of legal secretarial/assistant. I wanted to return to the private sector as a legal assistant. Having been away from the workforce in this area for nearly 10 years, I knew that employment would be difficult to find for me.

I was referred to Candice Dietz at Preference Personnel. Candice took the time to get to know me and promised to work hard for me to find the right place. It took a little time, but that just proved to me that they were really searching for the right one for me. I have been with my current company as the Office Administrator for over a year now and couldn’t be happier. My work family is just that – “family.”

Thanks to Candice and Kara at Preference Personnel, I have my life back with my family at home, a sense of worth, and a smile when I go to work.

Thank you Preference! Deb

 

Faye,

Thank you for helping me to get a great job! I’m really enjoying work. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect summer job! Thanks for everything.

Emily

 

Thanks Candice!

Thanks to you for helping me locate my job. I made it through one week and really do enjoy it so far. I find it a very challenging position, and the personnel are very helpful in getting me settled in. I’ll always keep you in mind when someone is looking for a job, as Gail referred me to you!

Thanks again for your help and the flowers. You really made my day!

Rosemary

 

Preference Personnel Gals,

Just a quick little note to thank all of you who helped in finding me a great job! Thank you also for the little carnations – they helped to make the first day a little easier. Thank you again. Your time and help was and is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Keelie

 

Candice and Staff,

Thanks a bunch! I can’t thank you enough for helping me find a GREAT job! I’m sure I’ll enjoy it! I really appreciate it!

Thanks again, Lynne

 

Dear Faye,

I just wanted to thank you personally for the time you spent with me. I appreciate your professionalism and wish to compliment you on that.

I’m looking forward to my new position at ****, and am excited about the start of a new job and a new company. Again, thank you!

Sincerely, Barb

  

Dear Candice,

Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all of your efforts! Things are going well so far. It will certainly be a challenging position, but I look forward to every minute of it.

You’re very good at what you do, and I have to say that I enjoy doing business with the best! Thank you!

Best regards, Brad

 

I first came into your office on April 27th, 2004, with a desire to find new employment. With your help, that goal has been achieved. You treated me like a close relative, or friend. You helped me believe that I could do something other than fast food management. I now move on to *** with the desire to prove to myself and to you folks that the confidence I have in myself and the confidence you had in me was spot on.

Thanks for all your help and motivation.

Shawn

 

Dear Faye and everyone,

Thank you so much for placing me. I am very happy and everyone is so nice. I really appreciate all of your efforts. You all were so nice and I will be sure to tell everyone about you. Thanks again 

Melissa

 

Dear Candy,

Thank you so much for your services. You have been so helpful to me in looking for employment. But, I have found a job on my own and will no longer need your services.

I have been very happy with your work and have recommended your services to friends. You have been the only service that has REALLY worked for me. Keep up the good work and thanks again.

Sincerely, Anne

 

Kara,                                                                                                          

Well, here it is Friday, and I have completed my first week. Thanks so much for the flowers. Can’t believe the welcome I have received here: flowers from you, a card from Deb, and lunch with the girls on Tuesday. Today Deb and I also had lunch with a lady from the bank. They are going to make me fat!  Ha!  Everyone has been so nice and it has made the transition stress free.

I still have SO much to learn but as Deb says, “we are taking baby steps.”

I know it’s only been one week, but I really think things are going to work out here.  As my husband indicated to me, he can even tell a difference in my disposition. I really needed to get away from the stress and negative environment I was in. Totally flip side here for the good!

Thanks again. I’m sure I will talk to you soon.

Cathy

 

Hi Faye,

I just wanted to send you a little thank you for helping me get my job. I am really enjoying my new job and enjoying the other employees.

Thank you, Tracy

Candice,

I cannot tell you enough how thankful I am for this HR position! It really is great knowing you and let’s stay in touch! I will never let Scott keep me too busy to see you! Thanks again for all you do and did for me!

Sincerely, Wendy

P.S.  Scott said I was 2nd on his list and that you were 1st for the job.  Makes you feel good right?

 

Ms. Wald

In accordance with our meeting this past Thursday, I am giving you good news (on my behalf, at least), that I received confirmation of employment today.

At this time I am no longer in need of your services, although, I must say, between Spherion, Manpower, and Preference, I would say that Preference is the professional solution to employment. You have a well-run business, and the staff is extremely helpful and a welcome group to work with.

Cordially, Christopher

 

Faye,

I want to say thank you! I thought a portion of my future earnings should belong to you, but since they don’t, at the very least I should get you some flowers!

You have been steadfast in your pursuit of finding me a job. I am most appreciative! The fruits of my labor hold much promise for me as I seek to find my niche. You have been an instrumental part in what will become my future endeavors. Thanks so much!

Peter

 

Candice,

I wanted to thank you and your team for my new position. I greatly appreciate all you did for me. So far so good.

Sincerely, Laina

 

Dear Preference Personnel Associates,

Thank you very much for all that you did in getting me a position at ****.  Things are going really well. 

Thanks again, Brad

 

Faye,

Thank you for finding me such a great job with great people. I appreciate the hard work and determination you gave to find a job for me. Thank you so much!

Kristin

The first time I met with a representative from Preference Personnel I felt comfortable and understood. They gave me the feeling that it was their goal in life to find me employment in a job market that is sometimes tough and unapproachable when searching by yourself.

The staff, Candice especially, gave me the tools and advice I needed to go into the interview process with the utmost confidence. They also provided me with dos and don’ts for the interview process, such as what to wear and what questions to ask.

Being someone who does not have a college education it seemed like a losing battle trying to get certain companies to even consider looking at my resume. The main thing about Preference Personnel is that they believed in me and helped me get a job with a company that put me in a position to have the job that I have today.  I think the staff at Preference Personnel must be gamblers, because they took a gamble and a chance on placing me in a position that was the answer to what I was looking for.

The dedication of the staff and personal assistance they provide is a refreshing change in a world where everyone you meet seems to concentrate on their own best interests. Preference Personnel gave me an opportunity to provide for my family in a way that doesn’t involve breaking my back in the construction industry anymore, which is a noble trade that I was in for many years. I owe many thanks to Preference Personnel. My family and I would not be in the position we are today if it were not for Candice and her staff. If I could sum up the whole experience I would say that, “Preference Personnel is large enough to make the connections to find you the job you want, and small enough to still care.”

Sincerely, Kelvin

 

Preference Team,                                                                                                           

I would like to take the time to thank you for helping me seek employment. I very much appreciated it.

Have a great day! Angie

 

Candice, 

Greetings. Just wanted to drop a note to thank you for your assistance in placing Amy. We were very impressed with Kara, as you probably hear frequently. She was especially great to Amy through the whole process, which made my life easier!

Thank you again, Josh

 

Faye,

I just wanted to drop you a note and say thank you! It means a lot to me that you recommended me to Tom at ****. I really like the job. Both of the guys are really great also.

You helped me out of a really difficult situation. Without your recommendation I may still be without work. Thank you again for your time and attention to find me a job.

Respectfully, Jaqueline

 

Kara,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for offering your time to help prepare the **** group for the future in interviewing skills. I personally feel that your presentation about interviewing will help all that attended. I also would like to thank you for the opportunity that I had to do the mock interview. Even though the questions were a bit tough it will help me prepare for the real deal. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.

Thomas

Faye,

Thank you so much for finding a temp job for me so quickly! I really enjoyed working at ****, and I found many new friends.  I just wanted to thank you for your promptness. I really appreciated it. Thanks again!!

Hi Kara,                                                                                                       

Just wanted to give you an update about my status…I have found a job as a recruiter with ****!  I am so excited about it!

Thanks for all your help!  I really liked your professionalism—you made this whole “job hunting” thing very dignified and respectful.  Thanks for the great experience!

Best regards, Michele

 

Candice,

Thanks again for all of your help in landing me my job. The people are as good to me there as you folks are!

Happiness Always, Erica

 

Kara,                                                                                                          

I wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for taking the time to talk with me yesterday and today.  Your honesty and professionalism are rare traits, and you are an asset to your organization.

Thank you, Scott

 

Dear Faye,

Just a note to thank you for your assistance in finding employment with ****. I am thoroughly enjoying my experience here. Hope all is well with you, and we’ll talk again. Thanks also for the flowers you sent!

Very sincerely, Andrea

 

Hello Ladies!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for working with me to find me the best job ever. I am a **** employee as of Monday and I couldn’t be happier. The month of unemployment was so much easier knowing I had you guys working for me too. You are all the best.

Thanks a million, Jill

PS. I won’t hesitate to recommend you to people!

 

Faye,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all your help finding my assignments! The **** and **** have just been wonderful places to work for! They are so much fun and I love meeting new people all the time! The last couple months I’ve really been able to enjoy life!

Thanks so much, Stacey

 

Kara,

Thank you so much for everything you have helped me with -- finding a computer science job, and also having the chance to start at ****.

You would not believe the weight that has been lifted from my shoulders with starting a new job. Thanks for everything.

Sincerely, Kirk

 

Preference Team

Thank you so much for sending flowers on my first day. I am really enjoying this company. Thanks for all of your help getting me here! I am sure I will be speaking with you soon!

Thanks again! Nichole

 

Dear Faye,

Just wanted to drop a note to say “thank you” for your help in obtaining my new job. I’ll admit I had my reservations about using an employment service, however NOW I sing the praises!

Thanks also for the flowers. I will in the future tell anyone looking for employment to give Preference a try!

Sincerely, Laurie

 

Kara

Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and kindness during the interview process for the ****.

Scott

 

Dear Faye,

As you know, I have been very happy with my placement at ****. So, when a full-time opening came up, I applied for and was granted the position of ****. I will be starting this position on August 24, 1998. Therefore, I do not plan to do any more temp work after that date.

I have enjoyed my time with Preference Personnel and have told my friends to come to your agency for temp work. You are a great bunch to work with. Please know that your agency will be the one I will turn to should I need temp work in the future.

Sincerely, Pauline

 

Kara                                                                                                           

Thank you for taking the time to visit with me yesterday. I appreciated the hospitality that I received from both you and Candice. I am very excited to be working with Preference Personnel. I only wish that I would have contacted you sooner.

As we discussed yesterday, I am attaching my current resume and letter of recommendation. I have also included a sample of the cover letter that I have been using. Please let me know if there are any changes that you feel I need to make to either.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to work with me through my employment search. I am more than confident that I have finally found a reputable organization.

Best regards, Bill

 

Dear Faye,

Thank you for the flowers and also for working diligently with me in procuring the position of Administrative Assistant with the ****. In the 12 plus weeks I’ve been here I have found this job to be both challenging and stimulating. As I told the council members, I hope to spend my remaining years in the work force here at the ****. Thanks again!

Sincerely, Pat

 

Dear Kara,

I wanted to extend my gratitude to you! It was a pleasure meeting you in person.  Your personality and the time you spent with me, today and in the past, made expressing my goals and accomplishments an easy task.  I can tell that you are a professional who has a tremendous amount of knowledge and passion regarding your industry. I hope that through our conversations and meeting you have a clear understanding of my personality, skills, accomplishments, and character.

Again, thank you for the time you spent with me. I know you have a large volume of candidates, but I believe I could provide a great representation of your talent. I certainly will pass your name along to anyone who is in my position or looking to change careers.

Have an excellent day!

Respectfully, John K.

 

Hello Faye,

I am almost into my second year with **** and things are working out just fine. My husband too is there. I work 3 days a week and he is on 4 evenings.  I am so thankful for the start you gave me, and it just went on from there. 

We want to wish you a Blessed Christmas and may 2006 be a great new year for you and your family. 

 
Sincerely,
Evelyn
