It all started back in 2011 when on the hunt for a "real job" after graduating college in 2010. I…read morewas ready to rid the late nights and smell of beer from my clothes from working in restaurants, and set foot into a career. Enter JKent. After being referred here from a friend, I was blown away by the following things: STAFF: Upon entering their offices (which are on the corner of 5th and Downing), I was greeted by a friendly face who told me how the typical process works in signing up with the agency. Fill out paperwork, enter various resume history into database, meet with a recruiter and wait for the opportunities to come in! After the first half was completed, I met with Karen - the Vice President. She was friendly, intelligent and is well versed in this industry. Karen asked me a few routine questions - career desires, job aspects, and salary before shaking my hand and saying she'd be in touch! COMMUNICATION: After about a week without hearing a word, I followed up with Karen, who promptly returned my email saying she had a potential opportunity for me. Karen and her colleagues constantly reached out to me throughout various job placements to ensure I was happy and offered insight on the job market and potential for growth. She was easily reachable and made the process seamless. She and her team continue to be this way - even know! JOB PLACEMENTS: Such a variety - based on your job history, salary expectations, location and duties! Because I solely wanted my foot in the door, I hopped on every opportunity that came my way - including a product tester! ha! Ultimately, I landed two great jobs, one of which I am still with today! Because the majority of job placements are temp-to-hire, I was able to see if the company was a "good fit" for me, as well as for them, which made for a better experience. EMPOWERMENT: JKent Staffing was started by a passionate woman, who continues uphold her core values to this day - and inspire other women! In joining the agency, I felt the recruiters and staff were so encouraging and helpful! As hard as finding the right job can be, Jkent made it easy and interesting!!
