Retention Specialist - Making A Difference

Being a Retention Specialist I make a great effort to let the clients know that I am here to help and direct them. If I can not assist them, I will find out the proper information or direct them to the proper dept. I give all of my clients the same attention and consideration. My goal has always been to make sure they know how to handle issues that may cause them to leave their job or try to help them find something else so that they will continue to be self sufficient. It is a great feeling to know you can help someone in need.

W. Andrews

W. Andrews is a 20 year old young man who has been in temporary housing since the age of 14.

At our first meeting it was clear that Mr. Andrews was extremely shy and lacked the social skills needed for job search, but due to his past circumstances this was very understandable. Mr. Andrews showed interest in the security field and was sent to attend Security training, however upon completion of the training Mr. Andrews attended a few job readiness workshops, mock interviews and a customer service certification course to prepare him for the upcoming interviews now that he has a trade under his belt. The road to employment was tough but Mr. Andrews was very diligent in his job search and successfully secured a security position at the Brooklyn IKEA. Mr. Andrews proved that if you are aggressive and driven you can accomplish what you strive for.

“Congratulations to Mr. Andrews “
