I am emailing to thank you, my Placement Counselor, and the rest of the team at your company for your help in my job search. Thanks to you all, I have recently accepted a fantastic position. When I applied to the same position through another service, my application was lost in the mix of others; however, I was able to get the first interview by applying through your service.Alexandra Pacor See More Success Stories
