Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain relationships with engineering and construction partners Build trust with electrical engineering firms, fire protection consultants, design teams, GCs, and ECs through regular visits, presentations, and technical support.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
