It was important to me that she listened to my ideas and what I needed from a job, and she nailed it! She was more persistent than I was and always kept a positive outlook. She coached me through everything and made the process very simple. Due to her skills, I was able to land the position and the salary that I was looking for.

Matthew J. says he’s immensely grateful for Corina’s efforts and unwavering commitment to his success!I was introduced to Corina Mack approximately three to four months ago when she came across my information and identified me as a strong candidate for a high-profile position in the downtown food and beverage industry. Corina took the time to thoroughly review my work history and experiences, and she also connected with my references to gain deeper insights into my qualifications. She then worked closely with me to refine my résumé and compile a professional portfolio to present to the client.
After coordinating an initial interview, Corina provided outstanding interview preparation and leveraged her network to keep me informed about the interview’s status and feedback.
While I was not ultimately selected for the primary role, Corina’s persistence and encouragement led me to maintain communication with the client. Through her guidance and support, I was eventually offered a different role within the company.
Without Corina’s expertise and dedication, I genuinely believe I would not have been considered for this opportunity. I am immensely grateful for her efforts and cannot thank her enough for her direction and unwavering commitment to my success.
Sincerely,
Matthew J.
