servicesMike Cinamon was extremely helpful in the process of finding my new career.

He found my resume and reached out to me with a great opportunity! He explained the position to me and help me prepare for the interview process. He checked in with me regularly and reached out to the business when I did not hear back from them. Unfortunately, the individuals that I had scheduled interviews with came down with Covid and it delayed the process a bit. Mike stuck with me and eventually I landed the job!!     Jackie Midlam

Mike Cinamon was excellent!

He was able to provide me with several tips and examples for interviews questions to look over.  He explained how the interview process would work, as well as how long it might take. He checked in with me throughout the entire process to see how everything was going. When I had any questions or concerns he was able to answer all of them. I was very satisfied with the results he helped me achieve!                                                         Thank you so much! Kathlene Sullivan

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with.

I’m so thankful he took the time to understand who I was and what I was looking for. You could tell that he cared about what was important to me and not just trying to put me in a situation or job just because he had a hole to fill. He communicated extremely well in regards to the steps/process and would always check in after the interview so provide suggestions or feedback. I would highly recommend anybody that is looking for the right job to work with Mike. Thanks again for all your help.

Sincerely, Bryce Davenport
