Maybe it is a sign of the times or maybe it is just my field, Technical Writing, but since graduating from college I have spent more than 60% of my career as a temp/contractor. Needless to say, I have worked with countless recruiters and agencies in that time span. I want to say of all those recruiters and organizations that working with you has been by far the best experience of them all. Since our initial conversation, you have been professional, competent and honest every step of the way. Your responses to the various issues that arose were beyond the call of duty and were always handled rapidly and without complication. Thank-you for your consideration and my placement in the now permanent position. My only regret is that I will not be able to continue working with you and Davis IT indefinitely. Good luck in all you do and thanks again.
