About Kyle Shinn:

Kyle initially reached out to me on LinkedIn for a position I was not interested in. Some weeks later I saw an advert for a position at the same site that I was interested in. I reach out to Kyle to see if he knew about it, Kyle responded promptly, set up an initial phone call to gauge my suitability and secured me a 1st stage interview for the position. Kyle has been very helpful and proactive.

About Kyle Shinn:

Unfortunately, I am still waiting to be interviewed for the position at Thetford Power Station. Despite this setback, Kyle has been excellent. He has provided me with several websites and resources to help me become better informed about the company and the processes they use. Throughout our interactions, he has consistently shown a positive attitude.
