“Rod is my DESIGN ANGEL! Before I met him I was very frustrated and upset with my own job search and had been unsuccessfully trying to find a job for a few years. It is indescribable how much he assisted me, with my resume, with my confidence and coaching me on all aspects of the process. I would not be here if not for his patience and assistance. For that, I give thanks.”

He really listened and took an interest in my portfolio, my growth in my career, and my long-term goals, and helped find a job that was best for me.
