I had two sessions with Cathy and she was amazing. You could tell she'd really prepared for our chats, as she came up with questions that were super relevant to my background and the job I was interviewing for. She even had extra content ready to share, which was a huge help. Her guidance was so clear and she gave me really concrete, actionable feedback that I could immediately use. I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone!
