My name is Jenny and I have lived in Chicago most of my life. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. I worked in media and marketing for about 10 years. While going through a transition less than 7 months ago, I was very fortunate to meet Eva and The Larko Group team who got me started with a private equity firm in less than a week.

I’m so grateful to work with such a wonderful team especially as we go through these difficult times in our city and our economy. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, it has certainly made a positive impact on my career goals and job security.

My name is Isabelle, and I moved to Chicago six months ago after graduating from Virginia Tech in May of 2019. I’m originally from Baltimore, MD, and knew that I would need a good network of support while making the transition from college to the “Real World” in a brand new place, especially job-wise.

When I connected with The Larko Group in October, I knew instantly that I had found the support I needed not only in finding a starting position but in other ways I could not have imagined at the time. After an initial meeting with Eva at the TLG office, I was continuously updated on different open roles that aligned with my professional preferences, briefed and prepped before each interview I went on and encouraged throughout the whole process.

I have truly enjoyed my experience working with The Larko Group and hope to continue growing with them as new opportunities pop up. I am so grateful for all they have done to help me succeed in this new phase of my life, and cannot thank them enough for providing me with the support I didn’t even know I would need!

Hello, my name is Ariel and I have been working with The Larko Group since October after moving to Chicago this past summer. Anytime you move to a new city, one of your most pressing concerns is finding employment. After a couple of months searching for a job, one of my family members recommended that I reach out to The Larko Group.

It quickly became clear that this was a game-changing recommendation. Eva and Amy took the time to get to know me as a person, as well as my skill sets and how I could help their clients meet their goals. However, what makes them unique is that they also considered my preferences by placing me with a company that matched my values and style. The great thing about Larko is that there is ongoing communication. I can tell they are genuinely interested in making sure I am happy in my role.

Moving to a new city can be overwhelming at times for anyone, but, because of The Larko Group, my job search turned out to be an experience that was far less stressful than I could’ve ever imagined.

After returning to the states I settled down in Chicago and reached out to The Larko Group – they were able to immediately find me a position with a great video marketing company in the area, which combines my love of art and marketing. I’m so thankful that they took the time to listen to me and understood what my passions are and matched me up with a job that makes me look forward to work everyday!
