Employee Case Study: Beth
After experiencing a health setback, Beth faced the challenge of returning to work on her own terms. She wanted to find part-time employment that allowed her to ease back into her professional routine—something meaningful, flexible, and supportive.
Background
Following a short-term disability leave, Beth realized she wasn’t ready to return to full-time work. Instead of rushing back, she decided to look for part-time opportunities that would let her stay engaged while maintaining balance. Having had positive experiences with staffing agencies in the past, she turned to City Personnel for help finding her next role.
When Beth met with Dawn, she immediately felt reassured. Dawn’s confidence and understanding gave her peace of mind that City Personnel could find the right fit—and within just a few weeks, they did.
Challenges
Transitioning Back to Work After a Health Issue
Beth wanted to re-enter the workforce gradually, prioritizing roles that would support her well-being and skill set.
Finding the Right Part-Time Role
She needed a position that matched her experience without overwhelming her as she transitioned back into a routine.
Uncertainty About the Job Search Process
Even with past success through agencies, starting over after a break came with some hesitation.
Approach
City Personnel’s team took the time to understand Beth’s needs and goals. From her first meeting with Dawn, she felt supported and confident that she was in good hands.
Personalized and Proactive Communication
Beth appreciated that City Personnel stayed in touch consistently—reaching out to her about new opportunities without her needing to follow up first.
Flexible Independence with Ongoing Support
She described the process as independent but reassuring, knowing she could always reach someone via email, text, or phone whenever she needed help.
Positive Work Experiences
Every business she worked for through City Personnel was welcoming and positive, reinforcing her confidence and trust in the process.
The Results
Within weeks of connecting with City Personnel, Beth was placed in a part-time role she truly enjoyed. Each subsequent assignment has been a positive experience, offering her both flexibility and fulfillment.
She shared:

Beth also valued how proactive City Personnel was in keeping her in mind for future roles:
“City Personnel always keeps you in mind and you’ll get phone calls about jobs. I don’t always have to call them—it seems pretty mutual.”
When asked what advice she’d give to others, Beth offered:
“If you are good at what you do, I recommend a staffing agency. That extra support can make a difference, especially in your confidence as you navigate the unknown.”
