Client Testimonials

I would like to thank you for the help you have given me. Without you having directed me to the LVASCE, I would not have found this position.

J. Thompson, Partner Career Client

Considering a cross country move after many years of living in one place, the support from LINC was like someone lifting a weight off of my shoulders. Knowing I could get personal advice that went beyond making connections with potential employers is an amzing asset! We talked about employment options for me, our family values in neighborhoods, assisted living facilities for my mother, possible faith communities, cultural and recreational opportunities, and much more. The discussion was professional, yet relaxed. I felt heard and respected by the LINC representatives.

Let me say that I am a huge fan of LINC – it’s raison d’etre is absolutely on target. At a more personal level, Sue helped us settle into the valley, and your team helped my wife, Toral, find a job at Orasure. Thanks to your team, our transition was so smooth that we even had a baby exactly nine months after the move.

Khanjan, LINC Community Transition + Partner Career Suport client

I want to put this information before you that LINC has provided great help to me and my family in looking for right schools and finding right job for my wife. I will say that this has been one of the best parts of packages which B. Braun provided and I am really thankful to B. Braun for that.

LINC Client

I will tell you. I've never had anything like this before. It makes a big difference in making a decision. I will tell you when I was leaving the Valley after my interview I had a 60-40 mindset about accepting. Now it is a 90-10 mindset after the conversation with LINC.

I've been to a lot of networking events and by far this was my favorite.

Ryan, "Get to Know the Lehigh Valley" Trivia Night attendee

The most important thing about LINC was being able to leverage their networks.

Kevin, LINC Partner Career Support client

I am beyond thankful for all the help, assistance, and support that LINC provided me during my transition to and during my time in the Lehigh Valley. I have made some great relationships that will last a lifetime, thanks to LINC.

Andrew, LINC Relocation Assistance client

All parts of process deadlines were very helpful. LINC helped me figure out what type of work is best for me. The resume edits were very helpful - I believe that is why I got a call for the job. Services like this are very, very useful. I absolutely recommend this service.

Margaret, LINC Partner Career Support client

LINC did more than I expected. The regular check-ins were helpful, and everyone was so approachable I didn't have to think twice. Having things situated before we got here made this feel like home faster.

Toral, LINC Community Transition + Partner Career Suport client

Relocating is always a challenge; establishing new connections can be time consuming and difficult. LINC and its ambassadors have made a real difference in making my move as easy as possible. Receiving this helpful connection with real people from the very beginning of my move has helped me tremendously. My questions and concerns were met with kindness and professional concern. Knowing that I could ask my ambassador anything was reassuring.

Valerie, LINC Community Transition client

Moving across the country was an exciting, yet intimidating adventure for us. When we arrived, we had to Google a grocery store to find the nearest one! We had managed to get by with our limited resources, browsing the web and asking around for information about the area, but then my husband’s company offered us LINC. Megan Beste is the BEST at what she does. She asked us questions about our lifestyle we hadn’t even approached, listened to our stories of trials and tribulations, and then presented us with a plethora of well thought out and detailed information about places to go, things to see, and events she thought we’d love. She followed up regularly with genuine concern about our well-being and how we were adjusting to the area and continued to extend invitation after invitation to things happening in the community. More importantly, when she found out we were having a child, we had lunch and just chatted about the funniest and scariest parts of becoming a mother. I felt that this was easily a step beyond the call of duty for her and that conversation was something I personally needed in such a mysterious time. She then followed up with a ton of information about “momming” that I’ll use for the next 18 years! It is of my opinion that all relocation packages should come with LINC. Thank you so much for everything!

Dani, LINC Community Transition client

LINC and DCConnect were very receptive to my unique career goals and tenacious in reaching out to potential employers, colleagues, and friends to get connections for me. In the passionate and integrated community that is the Lehigh Valley, my hard work and the efforts of Deb Rubart and Donna Cornelius quickly paid off.

Nicole, LINC DCConnect Pilot Program client

Since our last conversation and getting in touch with Vincent Munley I really started receiving responses from universities. I was in touch with them before on my own through e-mail, but I strongly believe having a person that they know talk about me generated interest on a different level. As you mentioned over and over before, the connections make all the difference. Now I have part-time adjunct teaching jobs lined up through Spring 2016. After making the connections and getting the foot in the door I am sure more things are coming my way. So I am very appreciative of your help getting in touch with Vincent and others. My upcoming jobs are a testament of the power of connections and the great job you do! Thank you!

Marija, LINC Community Transition + Partner Career Support client

The LINC team provided a far more in-depth and personalized service than I had expected. It extended past just career goals and included general interests to really find a way for me to get connected to the Lehigh Valley. Working with LINC has been a tremendous benefit to starting my career in the Lehigh Valley. After the initial consultation, I was introduced to many different networking, business, and leisure opportunities in the area which really helped me acclimatize to my new home.

Jason, LINC Partner Career Support client

Employer Testimonials

The professional services offered by LINC are a tremendous asset to the recruitment and retention of Lehigh University employees. With some recent high-level administrative searches in play at Lehigh, LINC provided dual career and community transition support, which were greatly appreciated by our new hires and their spouses and partners. The LINC organization is grounded with professional and pleasant staff, who know the Lehigh Valley area well and understand the nuances, challenges and needs of incoming residents. This service is long overdue in the Valley, but so worth the wait.
