Testimonial. Sean B.
What can you say, sometimes you feel like the deck is stacked against you and no one is in your corner. After 6 years of being out of work, collecting disability, and watching life pass me by, it was time to try and pick myself up and join the workforce. Trying to get back to work can be extremely difficult and as much as we want to think we can do it on our own, well unfortunately it is just not always that easy. Navigating the job options, even making the decision and direction to head can be daunting, to say the least. After reviewing and contacting multiple companies to assist with my return to work program I came across Mr. Jim Rossi with Voc Resources. I want to make it clear and note that most companies I contacted prior to Jim were not willing to much more than send out jobs once a month. Jim easily stood out from the crowd, he was constantly checking in with me, providing job opportunities, helping me review my resume, and even assisted me with potential training options and his follow up calls with potential contacts took my hunt to the next level. Jim was the single reason I am employed today in a great job with an excellent company. Still today I get calls from Jim checking in to see how things are going in my current path. If you are researching companies to apply your return to work ticket with ask them what they do for you, then speak to Jim.
