After almost 14 months of searching for a job on my own, my lack of success was wearing on me. What I lacked was the ability to market myself to the right people... and that is where Frankel stepped in. Their team was able to coach me on how to improve my resume, and most of all GET ME AN INTERVIEW! I am happy to say that I am in a job that I love. Without them, I am sure I would still be searching for a full time position. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful team!After almost 14 months of searching for a job on my own, my lack of success was wearing on me.

Administrative AssistantThe recruiter I worked with was a joy. She was extremely helpful and was able to get feedback from one interview (that I never would have gotten on my own) that was extremely useful information and ended up getting me my dream job. All thanks to my recruiter and her assistance.
