“Having returned after a one year trip to Australia I was placed by CARA in a temporary role in banking in Canary Wharf. After three months, I was offered a permanent position. I found the team at CARA approachable and extremely helpful on both a professional and personal level. CARA is not just interested in the happiness of their clients but also in the welfare of their candidates.”
