Byron was awesome to work with. His industry experience and approach to interview prep was truly next level. He helps anticipate what leaders will want to know and how you can best showcase your skills to address questions. Despite being a tough job market, I made it to multiple final round interviews as well as received an offer, with the help of his guidance.

I recently applied to several APM programs and roles, and Byron helped me optimize my resume. He went above and beyond. After the initial call, I shared my resume with him in Google Docs, and he went through it, copy-edited it, and shared suggestions. I plan to work with him for interview prep as well. He’s a good guy, and I highly recommend working with him.
