I received a call from Luke after uploading my CV to an online job site, we spoke on the phone and I felt that Luke was very personable and we built a strong rapport which built my trust in him as my consultant. After speaking to him about what job I was looking for and sending him an updated version of my c.v it wasn't long before I received a call from Luke with a job interview. The job was everything I had asked for! Amazingly the day after my interview I was told I had the job. Luke was great at negotiating my Annual pay and working hours. My life has completely transformed in such a short space of time, I love my new job and I also get more time in the evenings with my daughter. I cant thank Luke enough. He still checks in with me regular to make sure i'm doing OK.10/10. Thank you Luke!
