Legal Assistant, Gateshead
Helen was very helpful and responsive. She arranged for me to interview with a firm and kept in regular contact with me in advance to make sure that I was well-prepared.
I got an immediate job offer but I'm sure that if I hadn't, she would have quickly helped me to find more job opportunities. Helen was polite, professional, and very helpful throughout the whole process.
