Comments:
My counselor, Mary Vullas, is very enthousiastic and works hard at
marketing me for jobs. The office is very open about letting you see
your counselor whenever you happen to show up in person and the
atmosphere is friendly and helpful
Headway also offers a variety of different jobs for different experience levels If you are intelligent/ a quick learner/ don't hesitate to ask for that legal job even though you may not have experience in it-- if they like you, they'll take a chance on you, and chances are you'll succeed...
Negatives? The office, although open, is frantic (what temp agency isn't?) and the various counselors get confused sometimes not knowing their right from their left-- you just have to know exactly what your skills are and exactly what kind of job you're looking for when you go in. Be specific and firm- and there will be no confusion.
