Dear Rice,
I just wanted to thank you for your help jump-starting my search for a teaching job. Your organizational skills were excellent, but your effort to make every relationship a personal one was what I appreciated most. In my opinion, there is no better springboard into the search process than CS&A.
-- Caleb Balderston, February 5, 2010, Ardmore, PA
Dear Maddie,
You are amazing! Thank you so much for being my CS&A placement associate and for connecting me with my new school. I would never have known about this opportunity had it not been for you.
hi Molly,
Thank you again for always being so accessible and quick to answer questions.. I really have had great experiences w/ CS&A and continue to suggest it to colleagues considering a job change. So thank you for such a positive experience!
-- Jason Bock, January 6, 2010, Burlingame, CA
CS&A just helped me receive my first teaching job! Working with CS&A representative Todd Gochman was a great experience. He was easy to contact, spoke to me about my interests and made relevant referrals. The entire process was convenient and personal. Thanks to Todd and CS&A!
-- Amanda Ingrassia, July 20, 2009, Katonah, NY
Hi Jenny,
I just signed a contract to teach Upper School history and English at a wonderful school in New Jersey. As I'm sure you know, this job is one of the many prospects you sent my way; consequently, I wanted to take some time to express my sincere thanks for everything that you did on my behalf.
Hi Jenny,
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done this year for me. I appreciate your diligence and your good spirit in helping me secure a position for this upcoming school year. You have been a huge help.
-- Teddy R. Reeves, June 12, 2009, Ojai, CA
Hi Todd,
I got your letter in the mail, and I wanted to thank you again for all your hard work. I found that many of the schools you picked for me were excellent matches, and I would definitely work with CSA again in the future. In fact, I have referred a colleague of mine, who is currently looking for a position with your agency.
-- Annabella Kraut, June 13, 2009, Burtonsville, MD
Hey Beth,
Sorry for the late reply but I have been busy preparing for my NEW JOB!! I want to thank you and the staff of Carney, Sandoe & Associates. You have been as much support in guiding me in the proper direction as any family member or close friend. With your guidance I felt a sense of community and that I was not alone in these dire times. I am forever in debt to the wonderful and caring staff at Carney, Sandoe & Associates.
-- Kevin Wright, May 11, 2009, Bronx, NY
Hi Rice,
Thanks for the check-in. As of this afternoon actually, I have
accepted a job offer at Gilford High School, which is a public school
in NH. Although I did not technically receive a position through CSA,
the service was incredibly helpful and connected me to a diverse
amount of opportunities. I was able to interview, visit, and learn of
many great schools of which I could compare and contrast in order to
find the best job for ME.
-- Natalee Miller, May 11, 2009, Boston, MA
Hi Jenny,
Thank you for your email, and more importantly, thank you for representing me this past year again. I am so happy to report that I have accepted the offer and will be teaching 10th and 11th grade English starting in the fall. Yeah! It's been a year of transition, and I am really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things as a teacher and as part of a school community.
Hi Erik,
I just wanted to inform you that I signed a contract to stay with my current school for next year and would like to close my account. Professionally and financially it is the right move for me at this time. I want to thank you for all your work and referrals throughout this past year. It is your service and hard work that make Carney Sandoe the best and I will certainly contact you the next time I am seeking a job. Again, thanks!
-- Will Harvard, April 27, 2009, Elverson, PA
Hey Jenny!
Yes... the news is great! How amazing that you found out so quickly. You beat me to it, because I wanted to write to you and tell you how deeply I appreciate EVERYTHING you have done to help me throughout this process. I have a hunch that it was that "little note" from you that the English chair mentioned that may have gotten me in the door. The day I spent there was wonderful-- it is a fabulous community... challenging and exciting, but also humane and kind. I'm so excited to be joining them, and the part-time position really is ideal at this stage. I so appreciate your asking me to articulate why my thoughts were moving in that direction. Thanks for all of your good wishes, and thank you again for everything. I'm truly grateful that you are so good at what you do! I hope our paths will cross again at some point in the future.
-- Suzanne Bailey, April 22, 2009, Brookline, MA
Dear Jenny:
You're right -- I couldn't be happier about the way it's all panned out. I feel excited to transform into a Middle School teacher, and to see the challenges and joys that that'll entail. And being in New York City certainly doesn't darken the prospect either!
Thanks, too, for all of your help these last few months. Knowing that you and Carney Sandoe were on my side made the search simpler to endure -- especially as the nightly news implied that I was a madman for leaving my school.
Know that I'll be recommending CS&A, and you, to any and all worthies who find themselves in the market. If ever I find myself moving on (extremely unlikely, but still), I'll certainly reach out to you.
In the meantime, I wish you the best -- and thanks again!
-- Wil Lobko, April 22, 2009, Las Vegas, NV
Emily,
I am going to be teaching 4 sections of Spanish and assuming roles as a dorm parent, coach, advisor, and other responsibilities. I am so happy I'm ending up at a school I genuinely love. I can't wait to move out there this summer. The entire process has been really long, tiring, arduous, etc, but I definitely couldn't have done it without yours and Carney Sandoe's help. I appreciate all of the hard work you have done for me and the other candidates searching for jobs. You've helped make a dream come true. Thanks again for everything! I will be back again when the time comes to move on with my teaching career!
-- Ross Perrot, April 2, 2009, Tuscon, AZ
Dear John:
I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me over the past few years in my job search. I have not always been the easiest candidate and would not have blamed you in the least for telling me to take a hike. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My wife and daughter and I will be moving closer to Boston this summer, and I hope to see you when I get there.
-- Carson Smith, March 9, 2009, Portsmouth, NH
Dear John:
Thank you for seeing the potential for a match with my new school. I’m excited to be headed to southern California! I appreciate all the calls you made on my behalf and for the pep talk. You were a huge help.
-- Wendy Bradley, March 2, 2009, Madaba-Manja, Jordan
Dear Jenny:
I would like you to know that I will use Carney and Sandoe's services in the future for any international search. You and your colleagues were very friendly and helpful, unlike some other agencies we have used in the past. I have told several of my friends who will be searching next year to sign up for your services, and I hope that a successful partnership might be forged between you and them.
-- Jesse Meyer, January 16, 2009, Grand Rapids, MI
Dear Chris:
My family is incredibly grateful to your and the whole team at Carney, Sandoe and Associates. You presented jobs that fit our criteria, answered questions on positions, future growth, and helped my family feel relaxed throughout the interview process. Your professionalism, availability, and knowledge of independent schools helped us realize the opportunity and potential at our new school. I am thankful to have built a relationship with CS&A that will continue as I advance my career in independent schools.
-- Eric McGrane, Charlottesville, VA
Dear Ben and John:
I just wanted to send you a quick note and thank all of you for helping me out with my search this past year. You were all extremely upbeat, positive, and professional throughout the search and I appreciate your patience in helping me find the “right” fit. Although my search ended up being long and tedious, I am extremely happy (and very busy!) at my new school, and I could not have asked for a better position and school to work for. Thanks again, hopefully our paths will cross again in the future.

Dear Emily,
Thanks to you, I have about 25 follow up emails to schools to write because of all the connections you helped me make at the conference! I wanted to let you know how thankful I am that I have partnered with you to get my job search going. It is exciting to know how much has happened just since I joined early last month!
I thank you all for all of the work you have done, how smoothly everything ran at the conference, and how helpful Courtney and everyone there was. I am looking forward to more possibilities!

Dear Maddie,
You are amazing! Thank you so much for being my CS&A placement associate and for connecting me with my new school. I would never have known about this opportunity had it not been for you.
I just had my interview with them this week in New York and signed my contract with them yesterday. I am delighted to have this dream job of doing what I love -- teaching Chinese and art around the world with an innovative team!
I am truly grateful to you for forwarding me all these excellent openings and for following up with me over the phone. I cannot thank you enough, as I would not be in this position without you.
I have highly recommended CS&A to many of my classmates and friends. Many thanks to you and your team for the wonderful, professional, and invaluable service you are providing to teachers and educators -- I wish you continued success in "making the match" for the new year!

From taking the time to meet with me in April to indefatigably sending job notices my way, you were always in my corner, and I appreciate that support tremendously. Job searches are fraught and stressful in the best of circumstances, and even more so in a recession economy. Nonetheless, you were always a cheerful presence over email and in person, and you definitely helped me keep faith.
I'm thrilled about the job -- I felt that wonderful "click" with all the faculty and administrators I met that tells me it's the right school for me, and I'm happy to be able to teach in two humanities departments.
Thanks again for all your enormous help in finding me a great job.
