Overview

They genuinely love people and want them to achieve their career goals
Every interaction I have had with Bob and his team has been great. Immediately you can tell that they genuinely love people and wish them to achieve their career goals. The skills and knowledge you can learn from him will not only be of great use while performing your job hunt but also in your career and life in general. I would highly recommend any job seeker to meet with Bob because while he can provide you with extremely effective tools to land a good job he also has the natural ability to tap into the potential of each person he interacts with.
