Our Clients Tell of Our Success

At HIRED, we help people prepare for work. It’s our mission and we get great results, but you don’t need to hear it from us. Our clients sum it up pretty well.

Take Paul, for example. In February 2009, he was laid off from the sales-management position he held at an industrial-equipment distributor. With more than 25 years of experience, he decided to explore the Mini-MBA program at the University of St. Thomas. Paul says, “After talking with Lynn, my HIRED counselor, we really thought this would be the one thing that would tie my experience and education together. She was very supportive from the get-go and helped me secure funding for the program. I can honestly say that having this on my résumé was a major factor in landing my current position.”

Today, Paul is working as a general manager at Electrol Automation and he’s come full circle, helping HIRED clients learn about job openings that exist in his new company.

Another client, Angela, has this to say:

“Going through the loss of a job is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to endure. One thing that really helped me was my HIRED counselor, Michelle. She gave me some ideas to move forward and the encouragement to press on. I took classes on how to interview, network and write a résumé. I also completed courses in instructional design and HR. I am pleased to say I landed a position as the manager of training and development.  I am using my new skills everyday and am prepared to advance in my company when positions arise.”

In today’s job market, HIRED’s work has never been more important. We have the talent and passion to put Twin Cities job seekers back to work, but we need your support. Help us help more people like Paul and Angela. Donate to HIRED today!
