Emily was exceptional! She listened attentively to my concerns, offered valuable feedback on my resume and LinkedIn, and provided actionable steps for improvement. She also took the time to validate and highlight what I was doing right, boosting my confidence in my abilities. Her advice on networking was very practical and insightful as well!

Emily was friendly and her feedback during our session was very helpful. She helped me edit my resume so that it didn't contain superfluous information and advised me on formatting and word choice. I also gained a lot of invaluable insight into the hiring process. She was able to address my major concerns during the time we had. I was overwhelmed prior to our session but now I feel much more confident.

Emily gave me excellent advice and helped me to perfect my resume! I've been having friends review it but you can't compare to having career coach with her level of expertise make it look amazing. I had some trouble with some of the wording and she helped to clean it up because she knows what employers look for. I went from feeling 75% to 100% confident after she helped me to make those changes and identified my transferable skills. In addition, she is very personable, understanding, and great at communicating what the goals for our session would be!

Because of Emily’s knowledge and professionalism I was offered a job right out of the gate from graduating from college this past year. I was so lost in trying to figure out how to write my resume that employers would look at. Emily helped me produce a resume that every submission to a prospective employer gave me an interview. Emily then helped me with cover letters that each employer was fascinated over. She also coached me before each interview and wanted me to call her after the interview to hear how it went. Emily truly cares about her clients. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for me. Thank you Emily.

I was looking to Emily for guidance and organization towards my new career search. She was awesome and asked a lot of questions about what my priorities were and things I am looking for in a new job. She did a wonderful job of discussing with me what my expectations and goals were for the session, and also noted how much time we had left so all of my questions answered. Her advice on building a new resume was great and she has a ton of experience to back it up! She is very personable and down to earth so I was very comfortable expressing my career transition concerns to her! I am looking forward to more of our sessions and now getting a huge confidence boost!

Emily helped me with actionable steps to improve my interviews. Instead of dreading my next interview, now I am looking forward to practicing the things we talked over. She helped me with some questions I had as well as we did a mock interview. I am so glad I spent this hour with her.
