Interview coaching · Mock interview
I am a Senior Executive Assistant from Spain currently preparing for my third interview in the selection process for a position at a multinational company. Thanks to Candace’s deep knowledge of the international job market, she provided me with valuable insights into the role, highlighting that it is a hybrid between an Executive Assistant and a Chief of Staff. This perspective was crucial in shaping my salary negotiation strategy. Candace also equipped me with powerful key expressions—such as “backbone”—that helped me reinforce the mission of my role and use the right business language in English, something I could not have done on my own. Beyond interview preparation, she also opened my eyes to new possibilities for my career progression: moving towards a Chief of Staff role. In fact, I would be among the first professionals to help shape this position in Spain, where the trend has not yet fully arrived. Her guidance has been instrumental in making me feel confident, forward-looking, and fully prepared.

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!
