What others have to say about Kelly

Dear Kelly, I just wanted to pass along my thanks for taking your time to speak to us job seekers at St. Mary of the Hills in Rochester on 1/31. This is the first event I've attended where I was able to get the recruiter's/hiring manager's perspective. Your insights, tips, do's/don'ts and resources are very valuable. I will definitely 1)make sure my resume is key word rich and 2)show passion during my interviews. Also, thank you for the encouragement to us more 'seasoned' job seekers. I know I have much to offer the right company. Anyway, thank you again for a very enlightening and enjoyable presentation.

Kelly, Thank you for speaking to the careernetworking group on Monday, 01/31/11 at St. Mary's of the Hills. It was the best advice and set of information I have received since being underemployed in 2004(/strong>

Kelly; Thanks again so much for coming out on a cold Monday to speak to our group at St. Mary's. All your tips and enthusiasm should go a long way to help our group of job seekers. I apologize for the talker who just couldn't seem to shut up at one point, but overall we had a nice bunch. I enjoyed the discussions with our guests and think you were really a hit from the looks of the line so thanks for sticking around to the end. Mark Joyce/organizer for St. Maryof the Hills, MI

Kelly- I attended the seminar you gave at St. Andrews Church last Thursday evening. I found it to be very informative and have been actively using the information you disseminated that evening.

Kelly –
It was a pleasure listening to you last night at the Rochester Careers in Transition group.
You made me laugh which I haven’t done much lately. I was the gentleman that you talked with briefly before your presentation on how I could get into the IT Healthcare industry. I took away some great ideas that I will use in working with recruiters.

Kelly,

A big huge thank you for your entertaining and educational presentation tonight. I really enjoyed your humor and candor. One part I especially liked was the mix of a bit of religion. I think we loose focus in these tough times and have to be reminded that God is really in control and has a plan for each of us.
Diane/audience member from Careers in Transition group meeting 8/20/09 at First Congregational Church in Rochester Hills, MI

Indeed thanks for delivering a "ringer" of a talk last week. You were right on with encouragement, a smile and advice. If you would be interested, I would like to have you be part of our "industry expert panel" presentation for our last 12 week meeting, August 5th.
Thanks again, Ron Harness -- Creative

Hi Kelly,
You are truly gifted! I enjoyed your presentation last night at CSW. Would you please email me the list of web sites that you handed out last night? I am also attaching my resume.

“I've had the fortunate opportunity to work with Kelly in managing the staffing efforts for the AT&T Government Solutions Group. Kelly was original brought on to assist me, but was valued more as a true partner. Her expertise in staffing and process has made a very positive impact in our group obtaining our staffing objectives.” - Lori Resnick/Sr. Staffing Manager at AT&T Mobility

“I have had the pleasure of working with Kelly for the past year, while she was working in a Sr Recruiter position on the recruiting team I managed at AT&T Mobility. Kelly had full-cycle recruiting responsibilities for all levels of B2B sales positions within our goverment sales organization, including account management, sourcing strategy, and processing new hires. Kelly is highly skilled in end-to-end recruiting, and was able to take on a very demanding assignment with ease and grace. She established a very strong relationship with her hiring managers, and learned all systems and processes quickly and with very little direction. She has extensive experience sourcing high level positions, including executive level, and was able to find qualified candidates for many of our difficult to fill positions. It is evident that Kelly has a passion for recruiting, and a confidence in her skills. This shows in the way that she approaches the recruiting challenges that are presented to her. I highly recommend Kelly for any recruiting position she will pursue in the future. She has been a very valuable resource on my team.” - Charlotte Perrone/Associate Director, Staffing at AT&T Mobility
