WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

     I wanted to reach out and inform you of one of your employees, Keith Howell (Employment Specialist). I recently had the pleasure of being introduced to him, as he is assisting me in employment. I'm not sure if Vocation Depot has some type of employee recognition program or not. Regardless if you do or do not, it is worth the time to inform you that Keith definitely deserves some recognition for the work he does. He has become not only my mentor employment wise, but he is also becoming a friend. I can always count on him to be there, going way above and beyond what is expected of him. He cares about his clients makes it his priority to attend to their every need, regardless of how big or small. There have been numerous times I've reached out to Keith past business hours for his assistance. It never fails, he stops whatever he's doing to provide whatever it is I need. He truly has a heart of gold. He has a passion for his job and his clients - it shows in everything he does. 

     

Keith continues to impress me with his leadership skills, his work ethic, and his enthusiastic attitude (that's contagious!). Above all, his success continues to shine through, whether he is talking to you on the phone, reaching out to employers on your behalf or simply showing up at an interview to help you feel more at ease. 

   

 I can assure you he is definitely an asset to your company, and I  know Vocation Depot wouldn’t be what it is without people like him. - Catherine
