“Mark, your professional expertise in both executive recruiting and corporate management provided a valuable perspective throughout my job search.  I’m certain the length of my search was shortened considerably because of your help.  The Job Search Marketing Plan helped me identify my areas of expertise, confirm the value I could bring to a company, and communicate that value to potential employers.   Your guidance during our weekly meetings, and prompt response to my phone calls and email messages provided me with a tremendous sense of confidence and the knowledge I was doing everything right.”
