Career Development Partners Testimonials

Excellent help, experienced and connected in the community too. Everything they did was top notch.

You provide resource, good resources. You get back what you give if you follow instructions.

I really wasn't going to attend the classes, I am very shy and hate meeting new people and being out of my comfort zones, but before the first session ended, I was so glad I had gone! I am very thankful TDW understood the difficulty enough to see the need and supported it. I have great admiration for the team at Career Development, for all you do and how you do what you do. I will miss each of you dearly, and appreciate you greatly, thank you for helping me stand and run again!

Thank you Travis for your kind words and support of your company!  I was very skeptical and pretty sure this was going to be a time waster, but I was completely wrong!  I have learned so much in just the two sessions already!  I appreciate your time, commitment and heart to help people like me get through a difficult event, and not only point us in the right direction but guide us along our new journey!  Both Debra and Jane have been amazing with information, listening and support! My thanks to you and your team!

“The service provided invaluable information on how to search for employment in today’s world.”

“Travis really was helpful in making me take a new approach to my resume and how I handle interviews. It was great to have someone to bounce questions off and help me have a clear vision of what I wanted. I’m thrilled with my new position and what I was able to negotiate in my accepted offer.”

I received compassion and a morale boost from the members of the CD Partners team. I am very appreciative of the Tulsa team! I could not have done this without them.

Trust, and the encouragement you receive was fantastic. Also, Rick is an excellent teacher and provided excellent material and advise. Travis providing the video early on in the process was helpful. Debra was helpful in meeting with me and offering assistance. Nancy was always so welcoming and friendly. Overall a great experience I would recommend.

“The program was helpful. A lot of the information I already knew but it forced me to apply it systematically. There was also some level of information I didn’t know. It was nice to have a person there to bounce questions off of and receive both constructive criticism and encouragement.”

CPI has been extremely helpful. Ted Jones and the rest have answered questions and offered the advice I needed to move forward. I do appreciate their knowledge, responsiveness, and all around effort. Thanks CPI or Kensington.

“I appreciate all that I gained from attending the workshops. It boosted my confidence and honed my skills to a degree that allowed me to move a little faster.”

Great group of folks, just wish I had attended immediately after I was laid off instead of waiting a few weeks.

Great people! Great instruction. Thanks you guys for making a tremendous difference in my difficult season.. God bless you

Why:  Great team with superb attitude and service.

The service Career Development Partners provides tools and coaching to be successful in today's job market. There was a lot of great information shared during the training. My coach followed up with me a couple of times after my training was completed. Also I was able to run through a mock interview process. I have been able to call with questions and the coaches are eager to help me.

“The materials and discussion topics were appropriate for the need and the talent that presented/shared was excellent. Each member of the CDP staff was friendly, helpful and professional.”

I wanted to thank you all for your efforts to help me and others who loose their job through the situation, learning more about ourselves and finding our way forward.
I had thought that my resume was quite alright. Going through the meetings with you and your handbook showed me how important it is to really think about the past, accomplishments, strengths but also weaknesses and to focus on the job you really want by adapting the information provided.

The team at career development went above and beyond their roles. They were informative and knowledgeable; very helpful, but they were also understanding supportive and respectful not only to my (our) circumstances and situation, but my (our) former employer as well! I learned a lot about digging deep and finding me through all the noise, and how to connect with others for networking. I learned how to create a better resume and through going to the classes I regained confidence, and my positive attitude. It was a huge help to attend this with colleagues I already had connections with too. These people really do care and understand. They want to help those who have had their feet knocked out from under them, to regain their balance and get back to running!

CDP is absolutely the most professional and thorough resource I have ever experienced for career development, motivation and inspiration!!

The guidance and information provided is extremely relevant and useful during this sensitive time.

[Career Development Partners] is very warm and welcoming and truly cares about helping people during a difficult life experience. All were personable and eager to help!

I found the training to be excellent. I arrived to these classes thinking that I knew how to find a job and I just needed some fine tuning. Actually, I found I had a lot to learn and I'm extremely thankful for Debra and Travis and the whole team. Knowledgeable | Fun | Friendly | Encouraging

Great team that cares for your success. The portal tools are fantastic. My coach, Jane, provided solid assistance in development of both my resume and LinkedIn page. Very good advice and kept me focused on networking and the value. Utilize your career placement department to assist more proactively.

To everyone at CDP,

Firstly, thank you so much for all the hard work, time, and effort you put into making sure myself and others make a good transition. The experience and kindness everyone has makes it a true pleasure to work with you. I am extremely thankful to have worked with everyone and feel I have gained a lot of knowledge and friendships in the process. Again, thank you for everything and please stay in touch.

“I want to thank you and let you know how much you helped me through the transition. Our meetings helped keep me positive and focused on what needed to happen next in my job search. Thanks again…”

 

Everyone was very nice and helpful. Great info for those of us who have not had to job search in a while. Did not have much on the recruiting side which was ok with me. Thanks for all of the help!!!

There are no words to properly express my gratitude for all that the team at CDP ha done for me to help me prepare for the challenge of searching for a job after being out of the job market for so many years.

Please help me celebrate landing a new position! You helped me to believe in myself again!

I had no idea how things have changed in the job market. Trying to navigate that and deal with the disappointment of a layoff was a bit overwhelming. Career Partners and their consultants helped me not only understand all of the changes and build strategies, but also rebuild my confidence. The services were more than practical, they were also psychological.

Career Development Partners service give you the tools necessary to land your next career. This knowledge makes you feel prepared, determined and confident during the interview process and will help you land your new career.

Rick [Christensen] not only taught me and walked me through the available resources, but was also encouraging and uplifting at the times when I really needed a boost to keep searching.

Caring and knowledgeable staff. Great curriculum and instructional materials.

The core of technical information is so valuable, and the teaching of these knowledge/information is in a unique and very professional manner. Excellent job having this knowledge/technical information together and sharing/making accessible to others.

“Great program and tools to use for moving forward. I feel the section on my exit statement helped me get over my anger towards my previous employer. Thank you”

I can truly say without the help I received I would still be looking for a job. Thank you a hundred times over. Jane you are the best. I will miss you. So happy with the process and I learned so much.

Debra, I want to thank you and the entire team at Career Development for all you do!  I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you holding my hand through what was one of the most difficult experiences I've endured (being laid off from a place that had been my home and family for so long and having to reposition myself for a new job), I truly could not have done so well so quickly on my own.  I could probably say sincerely that it would not have even happened without you! Thank you for the book lessons, but mostly for helping me find my confidence, to build a better resume, and to negotiate (I got almost $4.00 an hour more than his range), to be patient waiting for that perfect fit, to heal and find positive in a bleak event!   Rick's articles on LinkedIn were wonderful and full of wisdom and encouragement for me!  You were angels carrying me "lest" I "dashed" my "foot upon a stone". (Psalms 91:12).

“I just wanted to thank each of you, as you all were instrumental in my successful job search.  Travis and Rick, the outplacement course was phenomenal!  I learned things that I didn’t know I needed to know, and once implemented, gave me more confidence in my job search.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for me during this difficult time.  You all have been a true blessing to me, and I’m grateful I got to know each of you.”

I have really enjoyed your [Debra] sessions. Your real world experience and candid feedback is very much appreciated. Thanks for your efforts to help us be successful in our transition.
