Salina was extremely helpful in not only explaining ways to improve my resume and LinkedIn but why the changes matter. I now have tangible steps to take in furthering my job search.

Salina is amazing! I haven’t job searched in a very long time and she walked me through the current landscape, gave me specific feedback that I really needed but also mentioned things that didn’t even cross my mind. I feel much more prepared and confident! Salina will definitely be my ‘go to’ if I need support in the future.

Salina was fantastic to work with. I left our session with numerous wonderful insights, some truly eye-opening, and a list of suggestions to refine my resume. Most importantly, Salina created an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions, consistently sought feedback, and showed genuine interest in understanding the rationale behind my choices. This allowed her to tailor her recommendations to reflect what I wanted to show in my resume and career direction. I look forward to applying all the valuable insights provided, as I am confident they will produce great results.

I recently had the pleasure of being coached by Salina, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. Salina was knowledgeable and deeply committed to helping me gain clarity and confidence in the career journey I'm on right now. Salina has an impressive depth of knowledge in HR, leadership strategies and career development. Every question I had was answered in a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand manner. Salina tailored the session to my specific needs and goals. She listened attentively, identified my strengths and areas for improvement, and provided actionable advice and strategies that I can take into my workday. She was able to also provide practical insights from her work experiences that can help me apply to my current role. With her encouragement and support, I felt (and continue to feel) so motivated after our call. I'm already looking forward to my next session with her!
