She was able to analyze my employment history and align it to who I am and what I am looking for. I found the all the results were tailored to me and what an employer would be looking for. What I am now producing for each submission even has me better prepped for the interview and more confident in my experience and what I can bring to a new role. Brenda's insights to the world of job boards and the HR processes of small and large firms is fantastic. She provided great analysis of my new resumes and cover letters and was very patient as a came to understand what I needed to rework and rethink. She walked me through ways of looking beyond the job boards and coached me on finding not only the job I would thrive in, but also the type of job I would really want!
