I wanted to thank you and your company for reaching out to us during these difficult times.
In my 20 year career, this has been the only time I have been between jobs. I am much more effective at working too much than being unemployed. Your offer provided me another way of looking at this time in my life - rather than just despair and fear, it's also an opportunity to take advantage of honing my skills and to make me even more marketable.
You made a difference!
