TESTIMONIALS

"I had thought about hiring an agent for some time, but Michael Williams of WAA, truly made me feel welcomed, at ease, and confident in his abilities to help realize my goals of being a Head College Basketball Coach again as and as entering into the Administration side of Athletics. Goals Accomplished! 

 

WAA kept me abreast of job openings that fit my skill set; WAA placed other agency clients in front of current Athletic Directors and me to prepare us for the interviewing and hiring process. Michael Williams prepared me for my interviews with personal Zoom meetings that focused on possible interview questions, proper posture, and correct pronunciation of words and names. We take things for granted until you stumble in an actual interview and find yourself knocked out of the process. I joined WAA for his professional help in finding a position tailored for me, and I ended up with such a position at Northern Vermont University as the Head Men's Basketball Coach/ Assistant Athletic Director, but I also found a life-long friend in Michael Williams."

"WAA is indeed a blessing to me. Michael has been in contact with me every day since we started working together. 

 

WAA is not only a business, but it’s a family. They will help their clients in any way possible. For example, if you need help advertising, they will step up and make flyers for you. If you need help with interviews, they will prepare a list of questions and have a panel to give you feedback. 

 

Hiring WAA was one of the best decisions of my life. I was nervous about taking a job at the top JUCO in the country. Mike gave me some powerful advice about selecting the best opportunity to grow. He helped me make the decision that was a no-brainer."

"It's safe to say one of the most important career decisions I made thus far was joining WAA. In this short time, Michael has been extraordinarily candid & knowledgeable with me about this business. From day one, I was asked my goals, and Michael has worked with me to achieve those goals and continues to do so. Additionally, during the interview process, Michael has made sure I am prepared by giving me additional information on questions I may be asked and questions I should be sure to ask to make sure the fit is right for me. 

 

Working with Michael has been an honor. I have been thrilled with the support and guidance that I have been given. WAA has and will continue to play a valuable part in my success. I can’t say enough how happy I am to be a part of this family. "
