Have
you heard the song “Lady in Red”?
Well, Vicki is our “Lady in pink”!
Everyday it’s pink, pink, and pink.
Rainbow, schmainbow. She thinks the colors
of the rainbow consist of different shades
of pink According to her there is no red,
blue, or green. (Maybe a little black once
in awhile as an accent). However, the really
great news is that after 10 years of
Retail Industry recruiting, she knows there
is lots of variety when it comes to personality
types and she has a keen sense for understanding
them. Even better is her knack for matching
the right personality with the right company
and she’ll always do it with a smile
on her face or in her voice and a fantastic “can
do” attitude. Even though her educational
background is in accounting, our very own
Ms. Bubbles is definitely no bean counter. |

| The
old saying “big things come in little packages”
has never been more true then with our Associate
Recruiter, Beth. (Is there such a thing as less
then a size 1?) Her enthusiasm and deep insight
into people has made her an instant asset to our
firm. Her 14 years of varied experience in Marketing,
Advertising, Communications and Strategic Planning
along with her outstanding verbal and presentation
skills make it a pleasure to deal with her, and
also lots of fun. She always has a smile on her
face and maintains a positive attitude even knowing
that after she leaves the office she has motherly
duty for two kids. That’s lots of car pooling!
Beth graduated from George Washington University
with a BBA in Marketing and a minor in Sociology.
No wonder her new nickname in the office is Zippy.
She is always movin’ and movin’ fast.

A R T H A WAGNER |
| Administrative
Manager, she runs the "nerve center"
of the office. Somehow Martha manages to balance
taking care of her 5 children at home (that
includes her 1 husband) and her 10 children
in our office. She sure can get things done
on a timely basis. She must have earned all
these skills while earning her degree from
Georgetown University. |
