In the spring of 2002, I interviewed with Abel Personnel for a job in the Loan Asset Management call center at the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency.  At that time, there were three employment agencies that staffed the call center, but staff there told me to apply through Abel, because it provided more paid holidays and benefits than the other agencies.

I was in need of employment because the company I worked for nine years downsized. At the time it was pretty tough because the entire country was going through the same thing. Many businesses were shutting their doors for good! This made it more of a challenge because so many others were in my shoes.

The road not taken, or in this case taken. I was a college student and was bartending in my home town on weekends. I walked into an Abel office and asked if they could find me a local part time job. They treated me with respect and said yes. Unusual for an employer treating a 19-year-old like that. I was placed at PHEAA as a temp.

Ten years ago, I moved to Central Pennsylvania. Being new to the area I needed a job and choosing Abel Personnel was the first step. The staff was very friendly and helpful and quick in finding the right position for me. I am still enjoying the same position Abel found for me. Abel has helped me find a secure position.

I’ve been with Abel Personnel since 2009. I have an established new family with Abel Personnel. The staff is professional and understanding. Mrs. Davis is an awesome person. She has been here for the entire length of my time with Abel, and I hope to continue with her as my recruiter.

I applied for a position through Abel. When I was contacted to come in for an interview, Barbara Karr recommended that I consider a different position. She said it would be a better fit and offered more compensation than the position I applied for. I met Megan when I entered the office and interviewed with Barb. The entire experience was relaxed.

Although I’m technically retired, I found after moving to Camp Hill last year from NYC, I needed more income. I went to Abel, told them what I was looking for, (something that helps people) and here I am at PACE, helping elderly people with limited incomes to get their prescriptions.

I was born and raised in a small town in Connecticut. My entire family lives there. They have always lived there. However, there came a point in my life when I realized that I didn’t want to always live there too.
