Successfully placed by Cheryl and her firm. I found Cheryl to be very professional. At the time I signed up with Marino and Associates, I was associated with several search firms that took hours of my time with testing and initial intake interviews, and produced absolutely no leads. Marino and Associates didn't insist on plunking me in front of a computer for two hours to test the level of my skills with various software programs. In my initial interview, we discussed the level of my computer skills, grammar, and other office skills, and Cheryl was satisfied with my word. She realized that as an individual in the middle of my career, any competency representations I made would need to be solidly based on my ability to perform at that level. I appreciated her professionalism and respect in taking me at my word. Additionally, while she took me at my word, she also did not try to present me as something I wasn't by exaggerating any of my skills or experience, and potentially placing me in a position that I was not qualified for. Although Cheryl presented some opportunities that might have been on the fringe of my preferences, she didn't waste my time trying to sell me on positions that didn't fit my criterion. Nor did my passing on an opportunity relegate me to a black hole with her firm. Cheryl ultimately presented me with a position that was exactly what I had in mind. I appreciated her candor, suggestions for conducting myself on the various interviews, and background information as she guided me through the many steps of my interview process, and subsequent salary negotiations. I felt that I received her best efforts, even though she was also representing the other contender for the position. I highly recommend Marino and Associates to anyone searching for a position as an executive assistant.
