“Lisa reworked and edited my resume, and coached me through the job hunt process. My resume was much improved by Lisa's rewrite -- the accomplishments were easy to see, and the measurable benefits were highlighted. She gave me some great coaching and tips, and helped with crafting introductory emails, exploratory conversations, and the best way to use LinkedIn and other networking tools. Her turnaround was always lightening fast, and she helped me bounce ideas around when considering an offer I received. She was always available and easy to work with, and has the most reasonable rates around. I highly recommend her.” - Renee C., Business Analyst / VP at Top Tier Financial Services Firm
