Kelly proved to be a responsive and supportive source of assistance regarding my queries. After spending numerous years at one company, I'm now on the lookout for a fresh opportunity. Kelly demonstrated her adeptness in keeping me up-to-date with the latest social media trends and, crucially, helped refine my resume. She alleviated any worries I had by guiding me through the process and was consistently prompt in responding to my emails and calls.
