Bio
Richard Adebari
I could not have asked for some one more informative, determined, and organized to help me with my job search. These are just a few of the multitude of great characteristics Cole Wilson has to offer! Cole has spent much time, on and off the clock, assistng me with my job search; even in his own times of personal adversity he prioritized an advance in my career. Any time we have spoken in person, on the phone, or via e-mail, there has still not been a time where I have felt uninformed; communication has always been prompt and with a great attitude. Cole always manages to cover all the bases and provide clear, insightful information; this continues to benefit my interests and career pathway. Through the process, Cole advised me of any other available opportunities he felt I would be interested in, as well as, continuing to always mention what to expect or how I could proceed if I were to decide on taking those positions. He exudes the influence coach with a determined, supportive, and winning mentality. I highly recommend Cole Wilson to anyone in need of furthering their career and achieving their goals.

It is always a pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for a student but I do so sparingly. In Cole's case it was very easy to do as he was a wonderful student who stood out from his peers. I admired his work ethic, attention to detail, and his ability to get along with everyone in a positive and polite manner. Cole was an exceptional student in every way and I highly recommend him for any position that can best utilize his skills, talents, and background. He will prove to be a valuable asset to any organization.
