Read moreAllison Siciliano Albanese says that Michael Kunkle matched her with the best company for her!I would really like to commend Michael Kunkle on his sense of urgency and his recruiting talent! I sent my resume to many places including restaurants and offices and let me tell you, doing that on my own these days, it’s hard to get recognition. The job market is over saturated with applications, and I was lucky to get a response before the job was already closed to another interviewee. Michael Kunkle made me feel like it was 1995 all over again, he was personable, quick and to the point. I felt like I had someone on the inside to actually get me an interview before the job was closed. I had no worries, getting the interview was now no sweat!! Not only did I get the first interview he set up for me, but I got the job and was told I was the only one picked out of 12 others for that store. Michael matched me with the best company for me, almost like he’s known me my entire life! Michael has real talent, and I hope he’s well taken care of! Thank you, Michael!
