"Mark McCurdy helped me succeed in my job search in this depressing, down economy. Not only did my résumé need a revamp, but my emphasis on job responsibilities did not give potential employers an accurate picture of my experience and ability. With Mark's help, I was able to upgrade my résumé, refocus my job search and polish my interviewing skills. Instead of wasting of time going on "practice" interviews for jobs I didn't want, I have focused on positions I am truly interested in.
I have learned how to target my résumé and cover letter to each employer. I have My Story, My Elevator Speech and My Questions for Employers rehearsed and ready to go. This personalized preparation gave me clarification and confidence in my search. Having someone in your corner, coaching, encouraging and being a sounding-board, makes a big difference. Mark's warm, friendly manner helped me maintain the necessary positive attitude for the daunting tasks of sending out cover letters, having confidence on interviews and evaluating job offers."

"As a new professional to nonprofits in 2009, I needed a lot of career guidance. I was trying to land my first job and was finding it difficult to figure out what companies were looking for and where to meet potential employers. Mark really took the extra time, talking to me about my resume and how to improve it, as well as helping me through my interview process. It didn't matter to Mark that I didn't end up in Boston; he still took an interest in me and helped me land my first permanent job in a matter of weeks.
I cannot express how much I appreciate Mark just taking the time, accepting extra phone calls and providing insurmountable amounts of encouragement. I will continue to look to Mark for career guidance in the future and highly recommend his service."

"Working with Mark to find a suitable placement was a fantastic experience! He's smart and sensible in his approach to help people find the perfect fit both temporarily and permanently based on their experience, ability and desired career path. He's practical yet creative in thinking outside the box, and he offers sound advice that helps his clients make the right decision for themselves. I've since referred several people to Mark, all of whom have glowing things to say about him as well!"

"I have met many high profile recruiters; so far Mark McCurdy has the highest E.I. (Emotional Intelligence) and empathy that makes him the best of the best, a talented and respected recruiter in his field. He also has the distinctive character of mutual trust, honesty and integrity, which is not only unique, but also comparatively, a rare quality in his field.
Lastly, he has a mature, healthy and dignified mindset towards his project, clients, candidates and his colleagues, which personally is an imperative element to my professional development."
