Maree spent significant time with me going through my experience and how it would match the job description. I really felt Maree was advocating on my behalf to get me the position and I have been impressed with the level of service provided. I don’t think I could have achieved this position on my own and Maree also got me a fantastic salary. Maree is also incredibly friendly and personable so the whole experience was enjoyable! Thank you
