I can't speak highly enough of Brenda! She completely revamped my resume, making it much more effective and appealing. Her service is very personal and tailored exactly to the needs of the client. As well as changing things around, Brenda gives great insights as to how recruiters view resumes and cover letters, as well as setting you up with the know-how to tailor each resume to the job you are applying for. After all of that, I think the thing that has stood out to me the most, is the after care. Brenda sends out regular communications and has reached out to me to check in and see how things are going with my job searches. It is a level of client care that a lot of people neglect but Brenda goes above and beyond to let her clients know that she is there to help whenever they need. You can't ask for more than that!

"THANK YOU so much to Brenda for her support and word of encouragement through the career development and job searching process. I can’t stress how much Brenda’s help and guidance meant to me and how tremendously useful her instructions, tips, and advice were. And most importantly, feeling that she was thinking of me and helping ease the emotional roller coaster job searching can be. I was reflecting on how this process was and was blown away by the fact that I first contacted Brenda in the beginning of June 2022 and just in a good one-month and a half I was able to land a job that fits what I was looking for.
Just wow! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Brenda!

I wish to highly appreciate the coaching session with Brenda. I really shifted from my way of writing a resume confusing it with a CV. I learn things to do and not to do, how to customize the rsume for each application and do research about the employer to show interest and get more information. She also provided useful resources, information and contact. But I wish she will accompany me in my research if needed.
