My experience with Cambridge Counsel has continued to exceed even my own very high expectations. When I reflect on my experience, I often find myself in a state of wonder and amazement at how the simple act of submitting my resume through Cambridge's website was the catalyst for the eagerly anticipated next step in the evolution of my life. My "entrance interview" with Steve Stone was different than those I had at other legal staffing agencies. At Cambridge, with Steve, I truly felt a human connection. Steve asked me all the pertinent questions regarding my academic and professional background. I expect no less from such a well-renowned agency. However, what I did not expect was the genuine personal interest Steve showed in my responses. I shared with him the great work experiences I had over the past couple of years since moving to Atlanta, but I told him that I had already reached a point in my burgeoning legal career where I felt the need for a change, a desire to be challenged more and to grow my career. Instead of giving me cookie cutter advice and boasting of Cambridge's track record for success, he gave me advice as a colleague, attorney to attorney, about how I should recognize the real value of my abilities and my achievements and about how I should stand proudly on those accolades to open not just any doors but the right doors of opportunity. For the better part of an hour, our dialogue continued in that vein. I knew when I walked out of the doors of the Cambridge office that I had found more than a staffing agency; I had found an agency of real advocates who would do all they could to help me reach my professional goals and fulfill my potential. Fast forward three (3) months, and I receive a telephone call from Steve early one afternoon late in June about a job opportunity. The telephone call in and of itself was not unusual because Steve and I had developed such camaraderie, such a real bond that we often talked throughout any given week about job opportunities or just my personal concerns and thoughts about my career. Back to that June afternoon telephone call I could tell that this call was different because Steve seemed to speak with an urgency that I had never heard in his voice. He informed me that he had THE opportunity for me, the opportunity for which he and I both had been looking and waiting for the past three (3) months. When he heard the apprehension in my voice, he "strongly encouraged" me to go on the interview because he had a good feeling about this one. Trusting my advocate-friend, I put everything on hold for the remainder of the day, took his advice and went on the interview that very afternoon. I received a voicemail message from Steve that evening on my cell phone that I had gotten the job. He sounded just as excited as I felt and told me in his message to call him that evening (after work hours, no less) on his cell phone if I wanted to talk to him about it or otherwise he would call me the next morning to follow up. I started the job the next week, and two (2) months later, I am still beside myself with joy, excitement and contentment as I go to work everyday in an environment that nurtures my curiosity and thirst for knowledge, with people who respect my intellect and experience and appreciate my ambition.I will forever be grateful to and feel a special bond with the staff at Cambridge Counsel, especially Steve, for believing in me and my vision and for doing everything possible to transform my vision into my reality.
