Who We Are...
How Did Resume-Interview Success Get Started?
I help people:
🔹 Learn to Believe in Themselves and Their Abilities
🔹 Identify Their Uniqueness
🔹 Define Their Personal Brand
🔹 Identify Their Value Proposition
so they can land the job of their dreams!
I have 30+ years of HR experience, specifically in the area of Benefits. I have always been a self-avowed Benefits geek but developed a passion for resume writing, LinkedIn profile optimization, and especially interview coaching when my twin sons entered college.
I worked with my one son on creating a resume that displayed his personal brand, an elevator pitch that sold his value proposition, and interview coaching that helped him ace his interviews. He got that first co-op and the next two co-ops he interviewed for. Proud parent here - his third co-op offered him a permanent position - and thus my business was born.
Having worked in numerous industries with everyone from hourly employees to C-Suite executives my client base now includes Director level through C-Suite and Board members. I handle all industries; however, my areas of special interest are technology/engineering, HR, marketing, finance, logistics, manufacturing, and sales.
Building lasting relationships with my clients is very important. As one client said, "She dedicated all the time I needed and made me feel like a friend who cares, not just a client."

LinkedIn Profile Critique (Review and Recommendations For Your Current LinkedIn Profile)
Don't be knocked out of contention due to common resume errors. Our resume critiquing service ensures that your resume is error-free and meets current best practices.
We not only ensure that your resume is error-free, we make recommendations on formatting, design, action verbs, and keywords.
You probably have reviewed your resume dozens of times but self-evaluation can only do so much. After all, it's not yourself you are attempting to persuade with your resume -- it's someone else. From this perspective, it only makes sense to have a fresh set of eyes look over and evaluate your resume.

Our professional resume services help put your resume at the top of the stack, in front of your prospective employer.
Do you know what an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is? Do you know how to draft a resume that has a better chance of making it past the ATS round and to a live recruiter? Did you know that the recruiters look at your resume for an average of six seconds?
Your resume has to be crafted in such a way as to work effectively when being reviewed by an ATS system and be visually effective and pleasing when viewed by a recruiter.
We can build you a resume that works with ATS systems and wows recruiters and hiring managers.

Our cover letter services allow you to position yourself for your ideal job, attract employers with "wow" achievements, show your enthusiasm for the company and the position, and sell your value proposition.
Our cover letters are customized to your personal brand, your industry, and your personality.

Learn how to interview like a pro.
Mock interviews are the best way to prepare for actual interviews. A good mock interview will consist of basic interview questions, behavioral interview question, job/industry-specific questions, technical questions (if appropriate).
We conduct the mock interview via Zoom and record the interview so that the client can view themselves (see their facial responses, posture, eye contact, voice level and tone, etc.). We then discuss the interview and make recommendations on ways to improve.
We help you be prepared to ace any interview.

Share Your Story!
A One-Page Executive, Career, or Board Biography is a succinct, stand-alone version of your professional story’s narrative highlights, making it the ideal complement to your résumé and LinkedIn profile.
In fact, if you are meeting with someone who is not directly looking to hire you, but has agreed to have a networking meeting or informational interview with you, sending a resume may look, well, a bit presumptuous—and your contact may even feel put on the spot.
A career, executive, or Board bio is a one-page document describing your core value, brand attributes, high-level career history, and significant accomplishments—as related to your current goals.

Board of Directors Resumes That Help You Land That Coveted BOD Position
A Board resume presents your full career history in a way that shows your value as a member of the Board of Directors (BOD), not just your accomplishments as a member of the C-suite.
A Board resume needs to communicate your differentiating voice and show how your C-suite experience positions you as a strategic BOD member.
It needs to share your previous Board-level experience, your ability to direct shareholder ROI, your ability to elevate and transform a company’s brand image, and your previous accomplishments and impact on EBITDA, growth, stock value, and M&A.
