The One I Have Been Waiting For

“I had a great time yesterday at CPS, I was there for 5 hours of orientation… It is a great company and I know this is where I need to be.  It feels great.

Heidi, I want to thank you and your team along with B & B for great service and response to my needs.  I responded to one job ad from Chris G. and asked your office for information and in 2 days’ time I was called for an interview.  Wow!!  It was the one I have been waiting for all this time.  I would like to thank you in person if you will be around today or tomorrow.  Thank you for your time, Great job.”

–Eric L. Pritchard

A Grateful Thank You

“As a marine biologist who is looking for a permanent job in my field, Berks & Beyond Employment Services gave me a means in order to support my financial obligations that I currently have, including insurance & medical bills.  While I was unemployed & looking for a part-time job that would support me, I found a classified ad in the Patriot News that said that Berks & Beyond was looking for people to do warehouse-type work.  I called their office inquiring as to what the job would entail & I decided to apply with their organization for part-time work.

While working for Berks, I worked hard & put my effort into doing the job right that they put me in.  In doing so, I was acknowledged with the company as a responsible & hard worker.  In doing so, I lasted with the Davis Beverage Group for 2 months as a temporary part-time worker before becoming a permanent staff member with David Beverage on April 11, 2011.  In addition I was awarded as being the Employee of the Month with Berks 1 week prior to becoming a permanent staff member with Davis Beverage for the month of April.

I owe Berks a grateful thank you for giving me work to support myself in an economy that has sunk very low in our country.”

Berks & Beyond’s Reading Office

“My experience with Berks & Beyond was great because it allowed me to establish a contact with a recruiter and she was great in getting back to me in a timely manner – which is CRITICAL when you are dealing with a temp agency because otherwise you can get lost in the shuffle.  My recruiter gave me confidence she was on top of things and that IF/WHEN something came up, she would get back to me.  If anyone is looking for work, please make sure you contact Berks & Beyond.”

Berks & Beyond’s On-Site Godiva Location

“In the changing workplace, Berks & Beyond opens the door of opportunity to businesses otherwise unapproachable.  The service educates one about areas open to use one’s skills and abilities.  I personally experienced the professionalism of (Berks & Beyond’s) staff for their job, coupled with concern and empathy for their client in these difficult economic times.  This conduct was evident starting with the owner (Chris Garner), continuing through the office staff to the on-site manager.  Thank you, Berks & Beyond, for giving me the opportunity to serve and be productive.”

–Cheryl Bortz

Berks & Beyond’s York Office

“First of all, I would like to thank you for considering my qualifications.  It was a pleasure meeting you.  I really appreciated your work of helping me (in particular), and the others in a professional manner, and making an immediate positive impact on our careers.  What you are doing is truly impressive.”

Any staffing service can claim they’re the best, or that they’ll find you the right job opportunity.  But we’re not just “any staffing service.”  So, once again we’ve gone straight to the source - to show you what our employees have to say about their experiences with Berks & Beyond:

Berks & Beyond’s Reading Office

“When I decided to go back to work after taking some time off, I was finding it difficult to gain employment again with so few jobs available in today’s economy.  The Berks & Beyond staff looked at me and my experience, not the small gap in my resume.  The Berks & Beyond staff were professional and courteous.  I am now back working with people and helping them achieve their goals.”

     –Helen Keating

Berks & Beyond’s Pottstown Office

“Thank you for all the help you have given me with my job search.  I especially appreciate the information and advice you have provided, and the contacts you have shared with me.  Your assistance has been invaluable to me during this process.  I am very confident that Remcon Plastic will make a wise decision, whether I’m part of that decision or not your staffing has fulfilled my every expectation.  Again, thank you so much.  I greatly appreciate your generosity.”

     –Rafael Ortiz-Colon

Berks & Beyond’s York Office

“I have worked with Berks and Beyond for about 4 years doing various warehouse assignments.  My experience working with the York office has been great.  They are wonderful people to work with, and I have enjoyed the various companies that I have worked with.  I have never had any complaints with the staff or had a problem getting a new assignment.  Berks and Beyond knows who I am and what I can do and they make the right match from there.  It is my pleasure to work for Berks and Beyond.  Thank you for everything!”

“Berks and Beyond has been the primary force of my success in finding and maintaining employment.  Not only did they professionally jump right in and find the right job, but continuously kept me updated on better opportunities.  Each and every client has a personal relationship with Berks and Beyond.  I can respectfully say Berks and Beyond has treated me like family from the start.  Thank you Berks and Beyond!”

“Dear Bonnetta:

I just wanted to once again say thanks for everything.  You really followed up and worked hard to find a job/career match for me.

You made it happen.

I want you to know that although you may think it is part of your job, you did go above and beyond.  Most agencies would not continue to follow up as you and your team of professional employees did.  I know that God will continue to bless you and your family for your kind heart and caring personality.  You have made a difference in my life, when I thought there was no where else to turn you and your team opened up the doors of opportunity for me and for that I am truly grateful…

I just want you to know I appreciate it so much and may God Bless you for that.   Have a nice day and stay sweet.”

Thank you,

Kenneth Lund

“At a previous employer, I did not feel like I was part of a team.  Working at Berks & Beyond focuses on excellence and teamwork.  Their approach is friendly, flexible and a very can-do attitude.  The staff is very nice and helpful, and I enjoy working with them.  In my position, no day is exactly like the day before and my job is not boring.  I have never worked for a staffing agency before, but I really enjoy it and have broadened my horizon.  Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity.”

“Berks and Beyond is definitely different from any other staffing company that I have applied with.  What drew me to Berks and Beyond were all the success stories that I had been hearing from people who had been placed on good assignments.  They have great knowledge of the companies in the area and were able to make sure that it was a right match for me and my experience.  They make sure I am prepared for my assignment so I will know exactly what to expect.  I will continue to spread the word that Berks and Beyond is the one-stop-shop to find a great job!”

Harrisburg

“I am so thankful for Berks and Beyond Employment Services.  My testimony is a unique one.  After being laid off for a year and a half, I had registered at Berks and Beyond in late February this year…  On Wednesday, February 24th, Carl Rudolph called me from the new (Harrisburg) location and asked me if I would be interested in an office position with UGI HVAC in Manheim, 10 minutes from my home.  Of course I said, ‘Yes.’  Carl scheduled my interview for Wednesday afternoon and within an hour after my interview, Carl called me and said that the company wanted to cancel all other interviews and wanted to hire me.  I was overjoyed.  My life has now changed after being laid off for a year and a half.  Things are looking up!  Thank you Berks and Beyond Employment Services!”

“I found myself out of work after working for many years.  After 4 months of being unemployed and looking on my own, the supervisor from my old job called and told me to check out Berks & Beyond.  I walked into Berks & Beyond and everyone was so pleasant and very friendly.  They took the time in my interview to find out everything about me and my work experience.  I was feeling good about myself and that they would be able to help me find work.  An hour after leaving Berks & Beyond, they called me with a job offer and I was working the next day.  I now let everyone know to go to Berks & Beyond.  They can help to find work and the staff is wonderful – they are a great group of girls!  I am so very happy to be working for Berks & Beyond!”

Pottstown

“Berks and Beyond Employment Service is a service that is very personable, very in-tune with what the employee is looking for, very thorough and on-the-ball.  I tried other agencies and they promised to deliver, but they did nothing.  I give B&B an excellent rating and I would refer them to anyone.”
- Steven Brynan

Allentown

“I started working with Berks & Beyond in March 2009.  Since that time they have helped me obtain several quality positions.  The staff is always friendly and very helpful.  They have always answered any questions I have had and most of all they have kept me working!  I would recommend Berks & Beyond to anyone looking for work!”
- Stephen Gower

Reading

“After being laid-off from my job, I was searching and searching for a job.  I went into Berks & Beyond and they found me a job so quickly, I wished I had gone to them sooner!  Everyone is extremely nice and very willing to help, and I couldn’t ask for a better agency.  I would recommend Berks & Beyond to anyone who does not have a job.  They helped me out tremendously, and they can definitely help you out, too!”
- Christina Boyer

“I would just like to thank Berks & Beyond for the wonderful opportunity of being able to maintain a job in the workforce today.  As we are all aware of the economy today, it is not very good; and many well-meaning people are out of work.  I would especially like to thanks Ms. Bonitta Martin for her diligence in keeping me afloat with satisfying, consistent work.”
