Testimonials

  • Susan S.

    “My brother was out of work, and Pacific Opportunities led him to successful employment. Rachael and her team worked with him throughout the entire process: they helped him write his resume, met with him weekly to practice interview techniques, helped him fill out applications, and found a job that fits his skills perfectly. They also worked with the new employer as he learned the job and made regular contact with all parties to ensure he knew his tasks and the employer was happy with his performance. I was so impressed with the care and communication that Rachael and her team showed every step of the way. I am so thankful for the services of Pacific Opportunities, Inc.”

  • Michael T, Sales Associate, Ross

    “Pacific Opportunities gave me the breakthrough I’ve been needing! I’ve wanted to work at a real job for so long, but previous support never followed through to really meet my needs. Pacific Opportunities taught me how to interview well. I now have a job that I love and the best part is that they continue to provide support. Thank you!”

It is nice to see the compassion they show in assessing the clients and the particular skills they may need to find steady employment. Most of the clients that have come through our store have been a pleasure to be around. Our staff have grown fond of having them here and enjoy the opportunity to teach and give back to the community while at work. I feel that Pacific Opportunities has helped me become a better manager through my interaction with such a diverse range of personalities and skill sets. I have even made a couple of new friends along the way.”
