It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Rina at Cavendish Maine. From our first conversation, she demonstrated exceptional attentiveness. Her communication was brilliant; she was always responsive and kept me informed every step of the way. Rina went above and beyond, and the personal touch of a handwritten congratulations card after I landed my job was just wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a new opportunity.
