ImeldaNov 17, 2024  - Resume review
Candace was super helpful and gave me great tips and advice on how to write my resume more effectively and tailor it to reflect the experiences I need to showcase. She'll go over the key points in your resume and edit each thoroughly, which then gives you an idea of how to rewrite all your achievements to match the job posting. I think that when you see your new resume, you will understand the difference it makes. thank you, Candace!

Candace was exceptionally helpful. It was clear she prepared for our mock interview ahead of time and came to the conversation with relevant questions to the company of interest, actionable tips and feedback, and reassurance to build some confidence. I moved forward in the interview process because of our conversation. I would come back!
