Testimonials
Every word has value.
“I’ve got to tell you, I like the career portfolio [CV, CV addendum, and cover letter] a lot. I’m pleased with all of it. I like the structure. I like the way you broke the information up and used bullets, and I like your wording. The CV has impact from the first page. And I can see you really did your homework. I don’t know how you did it, but you worked it! Every word has value. Trying to do it myself was a fool’s errand.
The cover letter is also a really, really helpful tool that I will be able to build on for future applications. It sets out a structure and lets me know how and where to add information for different job applications.
And I already got great feedback from the retained recruiter. You did everything I needed and I’m in a really good place.”

my healing
“Intuitively, I’ve known I’m spending my energy in the wrong place in my job search and blaming myself for some of the things that have happened in my last job. Thank you for your new prospective. I’ve taken a lot of notes as we talked. I just never would have thought of this. This is great advice. It’s definitely actionable and achievable. And I think it’ll will really help with my healing too. This is a step that will help me remind myself of all the good things I’ve done.”

Nothing is more painful than steady rejections.
“I really appreciate your input. We've only been talking 10 minutes and you’ve already re-oriented how I think about my résumé. This is such a re-orientation on how tell my story. I feel very liberated. Everyone who has looked at my résumé has locked me into this format, but that hasn’t worked for me. Nothing is more painful than steady rejections. I really like what you're doing. You’ve burned through the log jam of frustration. This has been great.”
