"Christine is fantastic at is preparing you for telephone interviews, giving advice on salary grades etc. as the job descriptions seem to be very generic. Christine is able to 'fill in the gaps', so to speak, as she has a good knowledge of the health boards, how they operate, the services etc. and can give you supporting information. I would definitely recommend them, they listen to what you want and really do try to match your requirements."
