Bio
Sara Williams
I had the pleasure of connecting with Michael Low during my recent efforts to diversify my professional profile through the pursuit of a career in an entirely new sector; information technology. Meeting Michael elevated the entire course of this endeavor, as he was able to leverage his expansive network and unparalleled expertise to successfully guide me through this foreign terrain. He demonstrated an active investment in my professional development, and was constantly available throughout every step of the job search process to offer valuable insight and motivational direction. Through Michael’s ongoing encouragement and advice, I felt fully supported in my professional aspirations, and became exponentially more confident that success was an obtainable objective. I am absolutely thrilled to accept my new position as a Quality Assurance Analyst for the Bank of Montreal, and am completely convinced that this opportunity would not have presented itself without being able to rely on Michael to facilitate communication with the organization. He advocated for my abilities, and ensured that the hiring process was progressing at a speed that was manageable and efficient. He maintained a clear and open line of communication, and ensured that I was constantly updated with any important developments. Upon hearing of my successful candidacy, Michael is going to even further lengths to guarantee a successful transition to this new organization. I have been connected with members from his existing network that will be my new coworkers, with the objective of ensuring that I am optimally prepared to participate in the institution’s corporate culture. My expectations have been exceeded in every sense of the word, and I cannot thank Michael enough for the role he has played in my professional development. I look forward to working with Michael again in the future, and definitely encourage others to utilize his services and expertise to advance their own careers. I am fully confident that anyone who has the pleasure of working with Michael will not be disappointed in the results.

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Michael for the past five years as his financial point of contact for both business and personal banking. Over the past five years, I’ve watched Michael grow his company significantly by providing differentiated advice and demonstrating proven business results for his clients. Michael is extremely intelligent and a detail oriented professional who always puts his clients first. He is easily approachable and truly passionate about what he does. It has been such a pleasure getting to know him and his family! For all of your business training, consulting and recruitment needs, I highly recommend Michael and his team at Symbiotic Group Inc.!
