Dear Seth:
I accepted the position last Friday. Thanks for your help in this – I never would have found the place without your help (even though it’s only an hour away). Thanks for your advice and support as well. This job search has been a bit grueling, but it’s over. Mission accomplished. A month ago I was trying to figure out how to piece together part-time jobs so that I could earn a teaching credential. Today, I’ve got a foot in the door for a life-long career as a teacher. Equally importantly, I’ve got a decent salary and good benefits to provide for my family. Thanks so much.

Dear Devereaux McClatchey:
I just want to tell you how much I have appreciated the assistance of Ben Bolte and John Faubert over the past few months.
I have worked with both gentlemen in the past on previous searches and also as one who was doing the hiring for a school. This time I was trying to secure employment for myself. (I was able to do so.)
Ben and John are just first-rate. They have been supportive, responsive, utterly reliable, completely professional, and just plain old pleasant throughout the entire search. Through the ups and downs of looking for a job, it is so important to have such consummate professionals with whom to work.
They are a credit to your organization. I can't thank them, and Carney, enough for the assistance I have received.
-- Terry Ward, June 30th, 2008, Holyoke, MA
hi Jenny,
I am so excited to inform you that I have accepted the offer. Almost immediately, I knew that this was a wonderful fit for me. I have no doubt that this is a perfect match, and that I will make a positive difference both in and outside of the classroom.
Thank you so much for all of your help! I can't tell you how happy and excited I am about next year, and you have played such an important role in making this a reality. Truly, I am ecstatic about moving to Florida and teaching at this amazing school.
I wish you only the best.
-- David Cutler, May 13, 2008, Newton, MA
Dear CSA,
I wanted to extend my thanks to your wonderful service in helping me obtain my private school teaching position. As a teacher, fresh out of college, I was very nervous and unsure how to begin the process of searching for a job. But one of the first things I did was sign up with CSA and within a very short time I had a job contract in my hands, without having to worry about paper work or making numerous phone calls. Your service was excellent with asking me the right questions with what I was looking for in a teaching position and offered my information to some wonderful schools! Any time I had questions about using the service or contacting a school, one of your advisers would email me back right away--- I truly appreciated that type of commitment to your candidates!
I am now going to be teaching in my dream school and I know I wouldn't have been able to get such a position without the service of CSA! I am spreading the news about how your service helps teachers find a great private school to teach in. Thank you once again for providing such a great resource to educators and for assisting me in my own job hunt!
-- Tatiana Kurjaninow, Ma6 6, 2008, Howell, NJ
Hi Jenny,
After an absolutely crazy month, I have accepted the sabbatical history position. I am very happy with this decision, as I had a terrific day visiting the community and enjoyed the conversations I had with the faculty and students there. So as of this fall I will be teaching 10th and 12th grade, coaching soccer, basketball and lacrosse, serving as a dorm parent and an advisor, and participating as a leader on their OutBack wilderness program. It is a beautiful part of the country, and a beautiful school, so I consider myself very lucky.
I want to thank you most sincerely for all of the help you have provided to me throughout this whole process. You did a most impressive job of referring me to wonderful schools, and I was fortunate enough to have choices in the end. I received many compliments on my file, and gave you due credit. I am very grateful! I anticipate working with you again in the future, and look forward to it, because I now know why CS&A is so reputable.
Have an excellent summer, and again, thank you kindly.
-- Susanna Whitaker-Rahilly, May 8, 2008, Concord, MA
Hi Jenny,
Sorry I didn't get to break the news to you first, but it's true-- I did accept a great offer this week, and am so excited! I ended up with offers from three schools, which was such a great surprise! Anyway, what a great process all around. I feel so lucky to have been able to choose between such great schools and to now have good contacts at each of them. Thank you so much for your support throughout my job search process-- I can't thank you enough!
-- Nicole, May 2, 2008
Dear Sadie,
As I mentioned during our telephone conversation, I have decided to accept the position of International Student Coordinator & Director of Diversity. I will also teach ESL, History and Cultural Studies, and also be the Head Soccer Coach. Thank you for the invaluable help; I do not have the words to express my deepest, sincerest and most heartfelt gratitude. The professionalism and dedication that you and CS&A have displayed is well worth emulating. Coupled with the simplicity and ease of your whole process, it is little wonder then that you are the American leaders in school placement. Again, many thanks!
-- Arnold Kanyang'onda, April 17, 2008, Canaan, NH
Dear Mr. McClatchey,
I just wanted to let you know that I had a great experience working with CS&A. My placement contact was Seth Gabarro. He was extremely helpful and made the whole process very painless. I just wanted to give some feedback because I'm now sitting in a wonderful spot with a dream job. I feel really lucky!
-- Irene Jenkins, April 15, 2008
Hi Kanoe,
I accepted the offer!! I will be teaching 5th grade. I am thrilled, and owe many, many thanks to you and Maddie for all of the help you gave me through this process. I could not have been happier with the service that Carney Sandoe provided. I really owe this great match to you. Plus, I have felt so lucky to be working with people as wonderful as you and Maddie. Thank you for everything.
-- Teddi, April 15, 2008
Dear John,
I am compelled to write in gratitude for your dedication and expertise in facilitating my search for administrative positions. I so appreciate that you took the time and energy to really get to know me and the value I could bring to a school. Thank you, too, for your prolific communication; you answered what must have been mundane questions to you with alacrity and a generous spirit. The proof of your talent is in the outcome: I am looking forward to beginning my new appointment with tremendous joy at the prospect of really manifesting my potential. Thank you, John, for everything. I now know to whom I will refer others who seek similar successes!
-- Dani Shylit, April 11, 2008, Haverhill, MA
Dear Beth -
I have received an offer to teach at Rice University as one of their Wiess Instructors of Physics and Astronomy, and I've chosen to accept that offer. In a few years, I'll be job searching again, and I will likely seek out Carney Sandoe at that time, as the experience working with you and your firm has been an overwhelmingly positive one. Although my current situation led me to other opportunities, I know that Carney Sandoe makes many opportunities available that are very much in line with my professional interests.
-- Tim Gilheart, April 10, 2008, Hanover, NH
Dear Jenny Moyer,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for your help. In addition to you tolerating my worrisome emails, you kept me at ease by suggesting there was still plenty of time. Last week proved to be very fruitful...I ended up with offers at all four schools. Whether it was coincidence or whatever, it's funny that the very first referral you sent me this year ended up being the job I will be taking. I will be teaching middle school, running the middle school football team and helping with the varsity QB's for a very talented program.
-- J.K. Scott, April 2, 2008, New Hampton School
Rice,
I am very grateful for your work, persistence, and thinking outside the box in getting me this opportunity. I think this is a significant turning point in my career, and for that you have my gratitude.
-- JD Whitney, March 25, 2008, Kensington, MD
Chris,
I am HAPPY to report that I am employed for next year. I signed a contract late last Thursday with St. Martin's Episcopal in New Orleans. Dr. Jeff Beedy is the Head and I think he will be GREAT to work for. I cannot begin to thank you enough for the excellent help you have been to me. I was very impressed by the sincere personal attention you gave to me and to my search. I think you have helped me find a very good home and while I hope of course that I would not have need of your services again, I certainly would ask for you, should the need arise. Thanks so very much again!!
-- David Hooks, March 25, 2008, Lancaster, PA
Hi Ben,
Your company has been a wonderful organization with which to be affiliated and I have never felt you were more than an email or phone call away. I have appreciated your keeping me informed and involved -- always with my interests in mind. Thank you for seeing this come to a positive conclusion and I am looking forward to new experiences at my new school.
-- Chris Writer, March 13, 2008, Buffalo, NY
Hi Beth,
Thank you for all the referrals you have sent me for music positions in the DC area. I'm happy to let you know that I just accepted the position at a great school! It seems to be a wonderful place and I'm very excited about the opportunity. Thank you so much for your help - this is the second time that CS&A has helped me to find an excellent school. While I think your service is wonderful, I am hoping that I will stay here for a while and won't need to contact you all for some time!
-- Erin Farfaglia, March 11, 2008, Middleburg, VA
Molly,
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for meeting with me yesterday. I really appreciated your willingness to sit and learn more about me and my search for employment at a K-12 school. I feel privileged to have someone with such knowledge, energy, and passion about schools assisting me. It was a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to working with you and Burke through this process.
-- Rick Goulding, March 10, 2008, Brighton, MA
Beth,
I just wanted to thank you again for all the work that you and your colleagues have done. While I know Health Ed positions are scarce, you and your team have been incredibly resourceful in helping me learn where the opportunities are and where schools may be taking their programs. I cannot tell you what a great resource you provide. It is so appreciated.
-- Robyn Kaminer, March 7, 2008, New York, NY
Jenny,
I think I contacted you way back in November about my search, but it feels like it was just yesterday. Thank you for all of your help these past few months! The search process is nerve-wracking, but knowing you were in my corner made me feel so much more confident both in myself and in the process.
I'm really thrilled with the school. Location, students, classes, benefits --I don't think I could have asked for a better mix to suit me at this point in my career and life.
-- Thank you again! Jeffrey Vinikoor, March 6, 2008, Princeton, NJ
Hi Burke,
Last year you helped me to find a job teaching and coaching in Bethesda, MD. I recently (and happily) renewed my contract for next year and thought I would write you a brief note to thank you again. This school has proven to be a very good fit for me. I enjoy my classes, appreciate and respect my colleagues, and feel I'm helping the boys along in the classroom and out of it. All in all, it's been easy to work hard and find some success here, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate the time you invested last year to help me get to this point.
-- Ted Ogden, March 1, 2008, Landon, Virginia
Hi Molly and Burke,
Great job with NYC 2008! You guys and the entire Carney Sandoe team did a great job organizing a zoo of logistics and personalities. I am incredibly impressed with how well the group handled everything. Also, I am very happy with how the job search process is going. Thanks again for making such a big difference for education and having such great spirit.
-- Sincerely, Edward Miller, March 6, 2008, McLean, VA
Dear CS&A -
From a candidate's perspective, I wanted to tell you and your staff that the new LINK Conference online interface is truly incredible. Thank you! Having gone to Carney Sandoe conferences in past years and having struggled with figuring out how to contact people, this new module makes everything so much easier. I love that we can see all the attending schools and representatives and that we can email them personally with interview requests.
I'm sure that many others have already told you about the wonders of the new online tool, but please spread the good word to those who created it on your staff.
-- Chris Wilcox, February 18, 2008, Philadelphia, PA
John,
Your attention to detail in the search process in total was excellent, and the specific individual attention paid to my requests and inquiries was remarkable and greatly appreciated. The position I secured is in great part due to your thorough and professional diligence throughout this process and I feel I was represented to schools in a most beneficial manner. I would, and will, recommend Carney Sandoe to all of my colleagues, both teachers and administrators, for their future placement requirements.
All the best and again thank you for your attention, diligence and professionalism.
--Chris Brena, February 21, 2008, Wichita, Kansas
Dear Mr. Carney,
I would like to take a moment of your time to thank your firm for doing such a wonderful job in helping teachers like myself find employment in Independent Schools. I am a 17-year teacher who needed to find a job closer to home. I registered with Carney Sandoe and was immediately contacted by Jenny Moyer; a highly knowledgeable and professional associate. She took the time to understand my needs and sent me countless referrals. As of the beginning of May, I had not found employment and was worried, but Jenny continued searching. Needless to say, Jenny placed me three weeks ago, and I am very grateful for the time and effort she put forth on my behalf. Several of my colleagues are currently looking for teaching jobs, and I have highly recommended Carney Sandoe to all of them. Again, thank you for the help and support your firm offers. It can be very difficult for teachers to look for jobs while employed, but Carney Sandoe makes it seem effortless!
-- Sincerely, Caroline Stuart, Greenwich, Ct., July 7, 2007
Beth,
I was highly impressed by the great work of everyone at CS&A this past weekend at the conference. Well done! Everyone was extremely helpful and pleasant all day in an environment that was slightly chaotic. Thank you for all your help as the day went on. I really enjoyed my time there and took a lot away from the experience. I am very excited for the San Francisco event. Thanks again.
--Doug Armstrong, February 11, 2007, Boston, MA
Dear Jessica,
In the middle of January, my American colleague asked me about CS&A (I'd spoken with him about my registration and search with CS&A and told him that I'd found the perfect position with your help). He said one of his Chinese friends would like to look for opportunities for teaching Chinese in America, so he hoped I could offer some help. I told him CS&A was the perfect solution. I gave him the website of CS&A, and he has already given the information to his Chinese friend. I would be glad to recommend CS&A to any other friends and colleagues. Your professional work ethic and efficient communication are extremely impressive! Surely I will contact you again when I face another job search; please allow me to say thank you in advance for your help!
--Nan Gao, February 3, 2007, Tianjin, China
Hi Todd and Elizabeth,
I really love the new CandidateConnect system. What a great enhancement for candidates who use your services. I am excited for the process to begin and hope to meet you in Boston.
--Sarah Swain, Keene, NH
Dear Ben,
I wanted to thank you for your help during the hiring process this past spring and summer. I have been in my new position for about a month now and it is a really good fit. CSA has been a big help to me over the last few years and I have always felt that I am dealing with the best professionals in placement when registered with your agency.
--John Cady, Dallas, TX
Ben,
I want to thank you for your professionalism, advice, kindness and guidance along the way. Making a transition from Turkey to the US is a huge life shift for me and you have made a huge difference in my life. When I contacted you a few years ago, you helped me then just as you helped me now. Thank you very much.
--Joan Liu, Istanbul
Hi Ryan,
As far as placement in the independent school world goes, CS&A rocks! I wouldn't trust any other agency to do what you guys do. Thanks much.
--John Barnes, Statesboro, GA
Jenny,
Throughout all the post graduation conversations graduates are forced to endure (“so, what are you going to do with your life?”), I have been extremely happy to cite Carney, Sandoe and Associates as an amazing firm that I have been lucky enough to be involved with. So, my thanks come not only from myself, but also from my reassured relatives and extended family who know that I am on the right track.
--Phil Recchio, Livonia, NY
Tyler and Ryan,
You guys did a great job of matching me with fantastic schools. When asked about my experience with Carney Sandoe, I couldn’t help but boast about the seamlessness and professionalism of your organization. If I should come across someone in need of your services, I will definitely recommend CS&A.
--Bobby Young, Lafayette, CA
Hi Jenny,
I want to thank you for all of your help. It was sort of a long and excruciating process but I couldn't be happier with the result. I really appreciate your support and, ultimately, the “golden referral!” I will definitely be sure to send friends and colleagues your way.
--Nate Payovich, St. Joseph, MI
Devereaux,
I recently used your service for the first time, and I am writing to inform you of how pleased I am with Carney Sandoe. Your forum in San Francisco was amazing. I received many interview requests, which led to job offers from two of the best schools in Los Angeles. I wanted to let you know how great your service is and to especially praise the work of Todd Gochman. He could not have been more helpful and you are fortunate to have him working for you. I have already advised many of my coworkers of your program and I will continue to do this in the future.
--Ben Cady, Santa Monica, CA
Dear Devereaux,
I have been a Carney Sandoe candidate for about nine months, and I recently accepted a graduate position at a great school. Todd Gochman was the associate assigned to work with me, and he has been amazing. He not only sent regular updates of schools that matched my profile, but he would also follow up with emails and an occasional phone call inquiring if the information he sent had been useful. He has been professional, courteous, and thorough. I felt as though he was a very informed and supportive guide intent on helping me find the best school to match my interests and talents.
--Katie Camarata, Nashville, TN
Dear Rice,
I want to thank you for all your help in the process. I was incredibly satisfied with the referrals and your replies, advice, etc. I continue to brag about Carney Sandoe to everyone - it is such an excellent process to finding the right placement. Thank you for everything and good luck with the rest of your conferences.
-- Courtney Collins, Brooklyn, NY
Hi Jessica,
Just got your follow-up note in the mail yesterday … thanks a ton for all your work. I can’t tell you how great it was to have you, not only as a rep, but more importantly, as a real person who cared/cares about our search. Seriously, thanks for your empathy/coaching/and shoulder to cry on when I was at heartbreak hill in early March. I can’t tell you how happy all of us are with our move to Tampa.
--Mick Barons, Tampa, Fl
Dear Jenny,
Thank you again for making this move possible for me with the new position. I could not have done it without your help and support! If I hear of anyone here who is looking to move, I will certainly pass your information along...you were so wonderful to work with, I have nothing but the best things to say!
-- Bryna Belitzky, Denver, CO
Rice,
You have been a great help to me from this process' beginning, particularly with your honesty and encouragement. It has been a huge asset to have you (and all the resources of CS&A) at my side.
-- Jared Courtney, Waltham, MA
Dear Devereaux,
I have been working with Todd Gochman and CS&A since December. Todd was there for me at every step. Simply put, he was a true professional at all stages of the process and for that I am truly thankful. I am quite sure that the prospect of my new position and the expediency with which the process transpired would not be possible without Todd's hard work. Again, my thanks to Todd and the entire CS&A team for making our experience so quick and easy. As I continue my career as an educator I plan to recommend CS&A without reservation.
-- Dan Hare, Concord, NH
Dear CS&A,
I have just recently returned from the National Association of Independent School Conference, and spent a day with Carney Sandoe interviewing for various positions. I wanted to write you and tell you what wonderful staff members you have in Jenny Moyer and John Faubert. I walked into the conference with much trepidation, as I am looking to shift the focus of my vocational career (from ‘preacher’ to ‘teacher’) and recognized that I was not the typical candidate attending this job fair. As you might imagine, both Jenny and John were extremely busy dealing with candidates, answering questions, and directing traffic! They treated me with great care and empathy, allowing me to feel as if they understood my own individual concerns. At one point in the late afternoon, as my energy ebbed, Jenny dropped what she was doing, came over to me, and was a great support both in her words and manner. In 6 hours at the NAIS LINK, I had 6 interviews and also spent a good deal of time with Trina Secor (another Carney representative) whom John suggested I meet with. It was incredibly efficient, although initially daunting.
I went to Boston with a great deal of anxiety and concern, but the professional and personal care I received from both Ms. Moyer and Mr. Faubert was exceptional. I thought you would like to know what superb staff members you have.
-- Johan Johnson, New York, NY
Dear Rice,
I wanted to let you know that I am going to accept the offer. Thanks for everything over the past few months. You were a tremendous help in every way possible. I was very impressed with Carney Sandoe's organization and the ability to make the candidates feel important. If and when I decide to look for another job in the teaching field, I will use CS&A again.
-- Jessica Lawton, Weare, NH
Dear Ben,
Your firm and your personal attention provided the platform for this opportunity to unfold and I'm extremely grateful. Your services helped me sustain my confidence during this period of transition. Thanks to you and Carney Sandoe for being such tremendous resources. I will continue to recommend you and your firm in every way possible.
-- Geoffrey B. Hoyt, Canaan, NH
When I began my hunt for a new job in the fall, I signed on with several search firms. Carney Sandoe was by far the most effective. Jessica took the time to get to know me and was very accurate in sending my information to schools that would be a good match. She always called me back in a timely manner when I had questions - no matter how small. Also, I was impressed with how well she seemed to know the schools and what they were like. As an end result, I just accepted a fabulous job at my first choice school in Washington DC. I am thrilled! And it never would have happened without Jessica and Carney Sandoe. Thank you!
-- Kristin Eisenhardt, Washington, DC

Hi Beth,
Thank you for all the referrals you have sent me for music positions in the DC area. I'm happy to let you know that I just accepted the position at a great school! It seems to be a wonderful place and I'm very excited about the opportunity. Thank you so much for your help - this is the second time that CS&A has helped me to find an excellent school. While I think your service is wonderful, I am hoping that I will stay here for a while and won't need to contact you all for some time!
-- Erin Farfaglia, March 11, 2008, Middleburg, VA
Molly,
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for meeting with me yesterday. I really appreciated your willingness to sit and learn more about me and my search for employment at a K-12 school. I feel privileged to have someone with such knowledge, energy, and passion about schools assisting me. It was a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to working with you and Burke through this process.
-- Rick Goulding, March 10, 2008, Brighton, MA
Beth,
I just wanted to thank you again for all the work that you and your colleagues have done. While I know Health Ed positions are scarce, you and your team have been incredibly resourceful in helping me learn where the opportunities are and where schools may be taking their programs. I cannot tell you what a great resource you provide. It is so appreciated.
-- Robyn Kaminer, March 7, 2008, New York, NY
Jenny,
I think I contacted you way back in November about my search, but it feels like it was just yesterday. Thank you for all of your help these past few months! The search process is nerve-wracking, but knowing you were in my corner made me feel so much more confident both in myself and in the process.
I'm really thrilled with the school. Location, students, classes, benefits --I don't think I could have asked for a better mix to suit me at this point in my career and life.
-- Thank you again! Jeffrey Vinikoor, March 6, 2008, Princeton, NJ
Hi Burke,
Last year you helped me to find a job teaching and coaching in Bethesda, MD. I recently (and happily) renewed my contract for next year and thought I would write you a brief note to thank you again. This school has proven to be a very good fit for me. I enjoy my classes, appreciate and respect my colleagues, and feel I'm helping the boys along in the classroom and out of it. All in all, it's been easy to work hard and find some success here, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate the time you invested last year to help me get to this point.
-- Ted Ogden, March 1, 2008, Landon, Virginia
Hi Molly and Burke,
Great job with NYC 2008! You guys and the entire Carney Sandoe team did a great job organizing a zoo of logistics and personalities. I am incredibly impressed with how well the group handled everything. Also, I am very happy with how the job search process is going. Thanks again for making such a big difference for education and having such great spirit.
-- Sincerely, Edward Miller, March 6, 2008, McLean, VA
Dear CS&A -
From a candidate's perspective, I wanted to tell you and your staff that the new LINK Conference online interface is truly incredible. Thank you! Having gone to Carney Sandoe conferences in past years and having struggled with figuring out how to contact people, this new module makes everything so much easier. I love that we can see all the attending schools and representatives and that we can email them personally with interview requests.
I'm sure that many others have already told you about the wonders of the new online tool, but please spread the good word to those who created it on your staff.
-- Chris Wilcox, February 18, 2008, Philadelphia, PA
John,
Your attention to detail in the search process in total was excellent, and the specific individual attention paid to my requests and inquiries was remarkable and greatly appreciated. The position I secured is in great part due to your thorough and professional diligence throughout this process and I feel I was represented to schools in a most beneficial manner. I would, and will, recommend Carney Sandoe to all of my colleagues, both teachers and administrators, for their future placement requirements.
All the best and again thank you for your attention, diligence and professionalism.
--Chris Brena, February 21, 2008, Wichita, Kansas
Dear Mr. Carney,
I would like to take a moment of your time to thank your firm for doing such a wonderful job in helping teachers like myself find employment in Independent Schools. I am a 17-year teacher who needed to find a job closer to home. I registered with Carney Sandoe and was immediately contacted by Jenny Moyer; a highly knowledgeable and professional associate. She took the time to understand my needs and sent me countless referrals. As of the beginning of May, I had not found employment and was worried, but Jenny continued searching. Needless to say, Jenny placed me three weeks ago, and I am very grateful for the time and effort she put forth on my behalf. Several of my colleagues are currently looking for teaching jobs, and I have highly recommended Carney Sandoe to all of them. Again, thank you for the help and support your firm offers. It can be very difficult for teachers to look for jobs while employed, but Carney Sandoe makes it seem effortless!
-- Sincerely, Caroline Stuart, Greenwich, Ct., July 7, 2007
Beth,
I was highly impressed by the great work of everyone at CS&A this past weekend at the conference. Well done! Everyone was extremely helpful and pleasant all day in an environment that was slightly chaotic. Thank you for all your help as the day went on. I really enjoyed my time there and took a lot away from the experience. I am very excited for the San Francisco event. Thanks again.
--Doug Armstrong, February 11, 2007, Boston, MA
Dear Jessica,
In the middle of January, my American colleague asked me about CS&A (I'd spoken with him about my registration and search with CS&A and told him that I'd found the perfect position with your help). He said one of his Chinese friends would like to look for opportunities for teaching Chinese in America, so he hoped I could offer some help. I told him CS&A was the perfect solution. I gave him the website of CS&A, and he has already given the information to his Chinese friend. I would be glad to recommend CS&A to any other friends and colleagues. Your professional work ethic and efficient communication are extremely impressive! Surely I will contact you again when I face another job search; please allow me to say thank you in advance for your help!
--Nan Gao, February 3, 2007, Tianjin, China
Hi Todd and Elizabeth,
I really love the new CandidateConnect system. What a great enhancement for candidates who use your services. I am excited for the process to begin and hope to meet you in Boston.
--Sarah Swain, Keene, NH
Dear Ben,
I wanted to thank you for your help during the hiring process this past spring and summer. I have been in my new position for about a month now and it is a really good fit. CSA has been a big help to me over the last few years and I have always felt that I am dealing with the best professionals in placement when registered with your agency.
--John Cady, Dallas, TX
Ben,
I want to thank you for your professionalism, advice, kindness and guidance along the way. Making a transition from Turkey to the US is a huge life shift for me and you have made a huge difference in my life. When I contacted you a few years ago, you helped me then just as you helped me now. Thank you very much.
--Joan Liu, Istanbul
Hi Ryan,
As far as placement in the independent school world goes, CS&A rocks! I wouldn't trust any other agency to do what you guys do. Thanks much.
--John Barnes, Statesboro, GA
Jenny,
Throughout all the post graduation conversations graduates are forced to endure (“so, what are you going to do with your life?”), I have been extremely happy to cite Carney, Sandoe and Associates as an amazing firm that I have been lucky enough to be involved with. So, my thanks come not only from myself, but also from my reassured relatives and extended family who know that I am on the right track.
--Phil Recchio, Livonia, NY
Tyler and Ryan,
You guys did a great job of matching me with fantastic schools. When asked about my experience with Carney Sandoe, I couldn’t help but boast about the seamlessness and professionalism of your organization. If I should come across someone in need of your services, I will definitely recommend CS&A.
--Bobby Young, Lafayette, CA
Hi Jenny,
I want to thank you for all of your help. It was sort of a long and excruciating process but I couldn't be happier with the result. I really appreciate your support and, ultimately, the “golden referral!” I will definitely be sure to send friends and colleagues your way.
--Nate Payovich, St. Joseph, MI
Devereaux,
I recently used your service for the first time, and I am writing to inform you of how pleased I am with Carney Sandoe. Your forum in San Francisco was amazing. I received many interview requests, which led to job offers from two of the best schools in Los Angeles. I wanted to let you know how great your service is and to especially praise the work of Todd Gochman. He could not have been more helpful and you are fortunate to have him working for you. I have already advised many of my coworkers of your program and I will continue to do this in the future.
--Ben Cady, Santa Monica, CA
Dear Devereaux,
I have been a Carney Sandoe candidate for about nine months, and I recently accepted a graduate position at a great school. Todd Gochman was the associate assigned to work with me, and he has been amazing. He not only sent regular updates of schools that matched my profile, but he would also follow up with emails and an occasional phone call inquiring if the information he sent had been useful. He has been professional, courteous, and thorough. I felt as though he was a very informed and supportive guide intent on helping me find the best school to match my interests and talents.
--Katie Camarata, Nashville, TN
Dear Rice,
I want to thank you for all your help in the process. I was incredibly satisfied with the referrals and your replies, advice, etc. I continue to brag about Carney Sandoe to everyone - it is such an excellent process to finding the right placement. Thank you for everything and good luck with the rest of your conferences.
-- Courtney Collins, Brooklyn, NY
Hi Jessica,
Just got your follow-up note in the mail yesterday … thanks a ton for all your work. I can’t tell you how great it was to have you, not only as a rep, but more importantly, as a real person who cared/cares about our search. Seriously, thanks for your empathy/coaching/and shoulder to cry on when I was at heartbreak hill in early March. I can’t tell you how happy all of us are with our move to Tampa.
--Mick Barons, Tampa, Fl
Dear Jenny,
Thank you again for making this move possible for me with the new position. I could not have done it without your help and support! If I hear of anyone here who is looking to move, I will certainly pass your information along...you were so wonderful to work with, I have nothing but the best things to say!
-- Bryna Belitzky, Denver, CO
Rice,
You have been a great help to me from this process' beginning, particularly with your honesty and encouragement. It has been a huge asset to have you (and all the resources of CS&A) at my side.
-- Jared Courtney, Waltham, MA
Dear Devereaux,
I have been working with Todd Gochman and CS&A since December. Todd was there for me at every step. Simply put, he was a true professional at all stages of the process and for that I am truly thankful. I am quite sure that the prospect of my new position and the expediency with which the process transpired would not be possible without Todd's hard work. Again, my thanks to Todd and the entire CS&A team for making our experience so quick and easy. As I continue my career as an educator I plan to recommend CS&A without reservation.
-- Dan Hare, Concord, NH
Dear CS&A,
I have just recently returned from the National Association of Independent School Conference, and spent a day with Carney Sandoe interviewing for various positions. I wanted to write you and tell you what wonderful staff members you have in Jenny Moyer and John Faubert. I walked into the conference with much trepidation, as I am looking to shift the focus of my vocational career (from ‘preacher’ to ‘teacher’) and recognized that I was not the typical candidate attending this job fair. As you might imagine, both Jenny and John were extremely busy dealing with candidates, answering questions, and directing traffic! They treated me with great care and empathy, allowing me to feel as if they understood my own individual concerns. At one point in the late afternoon, as my energy ebbed, Jenny dropped what she was doing, came over to me, and was a great support both in her words and manner. In 6 hours at the NAIS LINK, I had 6 interviews and also spent a good deal of time with Trina Secor (another Carney representative) whom John suggested I meet with. It was incredibly efficient, although initially daunting.
I went to Boston with a great deal of anxiety and concern, but the professional and personal care I received from both Ms. Moyer and Mr. Faubert was exceptional. I thought you would like to know what superb staff members you have.
-- Johan Johnson, New York, NY
Dear Rice,
I wanted to let you know that I am going to accept the offer. Thanks for everything over the past few months. You were a tremendous help in every way possible. I was very impressed with Carney Sandoe's organization and the ability to make the candidates feel important. If and when I decide to look for another job in the teaching field, I will use CS&A again.
-- Jessica Lawton, Weare, NH
Dear Ben,
Your firm and your personal attention provided the platform for this opportunity to unfold and I'm extremely grateful. Your services helped me sustain my confidence during this period of transition. Thanks to you and Carney Sandoe for being such tremendous resources. I will continue to recommend you and your firm in every way possible.
-- Geoffrey B. Hoyt, Canaan, NH
When I began my hunt for a new job in the fall, I signed on with several search firms. Carney Sandoe was by far the most effective. Jessica took the time to get to know me and was very accurate in sending my information to schools that would be a good match. She always called me back in a timely manner when I had questions - no matter how small. Also, I was impressed with how well she seemed to know the schools and what they were like. As an end result, I just accepted a fabulous job at my first choice school in Washington DC. I am thrilled! And it never would have happened without Jessica and Carney Sandoe. Thank you!
