“I start a new job in a few days!”

I used Lisa and Chameleon to rework my resume and LinkedIn profile. After may years in healthcare, both my resume and profile were getting long and unwieldy. In addition, I wanted to position my experience in a different way to avoid getting pigeonholed.

Lisa's team did a great job and were on top of the process - even when I got busy and they needed to be professionally persistent with me to get everything done. I really like the outcome and the change of messaging that we accomplished. And, as proof, I start a new job in a few days!

Whether you need serious help or just a tune up, they will do a great job!

"I listened to one of the webinars and decided to invest in the program. It was a great decision… happily working again in my chosen field at the CEO level as before."

Not having been job searching for many years and certainly not in the age of social media and LinkedIn, I was somewhat overwhelmed by the prospect. I listened to one of Lisa's webinars and decided to invest in the program.
It was a great decision! Her team was amazing. I had always had vitas so had no idea how to write a resume and certainly no idea how to stand out on LinkedIn even though I had a brief profile.

The investment was worth the money. I am now happily working again in my chosen field at the CEO level as before. Great team of folks! Very caring and professional as well. Thanks to the team at Chameleon.

"One of my go-to resources to refer to legal industry… her document development process brings out the best, relevant accomplishments that impress desirable employers…"

Lisa and her team are one of my go-to resources to refer to legal industry and other executives who need to put together a suite of modern career documents and obtain comprehensive training on how to land a great, senior-level job. As a seasoned executive search consultant, I know her document development process and job search consulting, which brings out the best, relevant accomplishments that impress desirable employers, can help lead to getting hired.

Most importantly, I have experienced Chameleon's work first hand as a senior-level client myself with regard to the development of my own resume. I highly recommend Lisa and her Chameleon team.

"Lisa and her team worked with me during a very difficult job search during the Covid-19 pandemic…. [they] will continue to coach and motivate you until you find the dream job you deserve."

Lisa and her team worked with me during a very difficult job search during the Covid-19 pandemic. They help me develop a totally new resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile and overall strategy to attract the best companies possible. I had many great coaching sessions to understand my background in detail and found creative way to relate it back to the companies I was interested in working for.

But what I liked it the most is that Lisa and her team will continue to coach and motivate you until you find the dream job you deserve. When you are in a challenging situation and most of the time losing confidence,
you never feel alone. "Definitively recommended."

"…[Chameleon Resumes] does not rely on inflating your accomplishments, gimmicks or fancy resume formats…""I start a new job in a few days!"

Lisa and her team at Chameleon Resumes were instrumental in helping me execute a successful job search a few years ago after a long career at my prior firm. From modernizing and updating my resume, to coaching me on interviewing and helping me navigate a challenging negotiation, Lisa's advice was both professional and pragmatic. Prior to starting my job search, when I was first considering making a move, Lisa provided concrete recommendations for actions I could take to lay the groundwork to improve my chances of success. (I highly recommend her blog post, "Pretend You Are Fired!" to everyone who wants to take proactive steps to manage their career!). Lisa is realistic and gives it to you straight - She will tell you where you have gaps, what you can do to close them, and when your "wants" don't align with reality.

She doesn't rely on inflating your accomplishments, gimmicks or fancy resume formats. Instead, she uses proven techniques that align with contemporary applicant search processes to help your resume make it to the top of the pile. Most importantly, she brings clarity of thought to whatever situation you are facing and seems to know just the right thing to say to help put whatever it is in to perspective so that you can take action and move forward.

I have recommended Chameleon Resumes to many of my colleagues and will continue to do so without hesitation.

"Chameleon Resumes met and exceeded all of my high expectations."

One of the most important things that you can do in your professional career is to present yourself fairly and accurately with regard to you experiences and professional strengths. When you get less than 30 seconds to "show up" and "differentiate" in the eyes of a potential employer, your resume must stand on its own.
It needs to win. In searching for a firm to compile my story Lisa and Chameleon Resumes met and exceeded all of my high expectations.

The team was extremely knowledgeable about my field of work and very flexible with regard to working with my schedule. I wanted my resume to capture the tactical aspects of my experience as well as the intangible qualities that separated me from other candidates in my field of study. I would highly recommend their service.

"I have no hesitation recommending her highly to other executives helping them land their next 6-figure positon faster."

I came to know Lisa Rangel from Chameleon Resumes when I was transitioning from one job function to the other. I was impressed with Lisa's clarity & honesty,
depth of knowledge in career development, and her drive to help other people out in their career. Lisa is a true customer-centric person who strives to serve Chameleon Resumes customers in a better and sincere way. She was always following up on customer support issues personally with me to ensure proper and quick handling of any concern and to ensure 100% satisfaction from working together.

In addition to her customer service, she is a very talented career development and resumes writing professional, and I have no hesitation in recommending her highly to other executives helping them land their next 6-figure position faster.

"I'm happy to report that employing their advice helped me land the right job in a few short months. Thank you Lisa and team!"

Hiring Lisa was one of the best career decisions I've made. Faced with my first job search in many years, I was troubled--and frankly lost--where to begin.

I attended a free course Lisa gave on how to improve your chances for landing your six-figure job. During the course, she reviewed several strategies, including for LinkedIn and resume construction, that I knew I needed. Once I took the decision to hire Lisa, Lisa and her team took great care of me. Beth and Alan were superb at getting my resume into shape and presenting my career accomplishments in bold new ways. They also provided me with helpful materials for the job search, tools to put together my search plan, and guidance to execute it!
Rich helped me prepare for the interviews. He gave me useful tips and coaching advice that built my confidence and allowed me to shine.

I'm happy to report that employing their advice helped me land the right job in a few short months. Thank you Lisa and team! I couldn't have done what I did without you!

"I was 50+ years old, forced out of my current role… at the end of the day, I was fortunate and blessed to find new role that was the good fit… due in large part to the approach help and support Chameleon provided."

You don't think you want to invest in this type of help...
but you need this type of help.

I was 50+ years old, forced out of my current role due to "right-sizing" and started to make my own preparations for the new job hunt. While I was relatively, if not naively confident that I would land something close to my liking - I concluded I still needed a career review "facelift" of sorts: resume, LinkedIn, how interview, how to better engage my network, etc.

Lisa and the team at Chameleon not only provided me with what I wanted... but what I needed, too.
They improved my resume to make it more relevant and impactful. They revamped my LinkedIn profile to make it more unique and meaningful. They trained me on how to better interview. They challenged my on how to sincerely engage and serve my professional network.

More than anything, their wisdom oozed out in every single session and engagement we completed. And it was not just their professional expertise - but an empathy and encouragement from their own "been there and done that" experiences. For me, that established credibility in their approach and confidence in the path they suggested.

Yes, at the end of the day, I was fortunate and blessed to find a new role that was a good fit. And that eventual success was due in large part to the approach, help and support Chameleon provided. Thanks for the facelift,
Lisa and team, again!

"What impressed me the most was her ability to respond to impromptu questions from the audience - the mark of a true expert!"

Lisa is a fantastic presenter. In the past year, Cornell has hired her to present to both our alumni and Executive MBAs. Her expertise shines through and she received high marks for tailoring her information to the audience and providing relevant examples. I hire many consultants and what impressed me most was her ability to respond to impromptu questions from the audience - the mark of a true expert! Lisa is knowledgeable, poised and a delight to work with.

"My LinkedIn profile was so good, I saw a 70% profile increase in the first week."

I was fortunate enough to attend one of Lisa Rangel's webinars on how to create a branded resume, LinkedIn profile, and effective networking techniques. Using her team, coaching opportunities, and a strong positive attitude, 42 days later I landed the exact job I was searching for.

Lisa's team is, without question, one of the most professional teams I've had the pleasure to work with. I felt that they genuinely cared about my job search and were available during all my ups and downs. The process was very involved and detailed, but because of that, my resulting documentation was spot on. I had worked with Resume Writing firms in the past and I needed to do a bulk of the work. With Lisa and her team, I filled out a questionnaire, had some phone conversations, and BINGO... new resume, updated LinkedIn profile, and cover letters. But the best part... I got 1:1 coaching to help me through the entire job search process. My LinkedIn profile was so good, I saw a 70% profile view increase in the first week. I then noticed that my profile was found through LinkedIn searches had increased 110% over a three week period.

If you're conducting a job search or thinking about it... you MUST contact Lisa. Even if you just need some coaching or someone to review what you have, I can't think of anyone else to use but Chameleon Resume Service.

Lisa Rangel and her team of professionals did an excellent job helping me market myself to prospective employers and company partners. Shortly after her help, I received and accepted a partnership offer with a fortune 500 financial services firm. I've also referred her to my adult children when they were looking for a career move. I highly recommend Lisa and her team to anyone thinking of a career move.

"I was very impressed with her workshop and her knowledge of perfecting a powerful resume that will get you to the next level in your career."

Lisa recently visited Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to speak with our staff about how to build a branded resume. I was very impressed with her workshop and her knowledge of perfecting a powerful resume that will get you to the next level in your career. As someone who reviews and helps people with their resumes on a daily basis, I took away some extremely useful information as well. I have attended a few workshops on writing resumes and this was the most helpful, especially for that internal promotion you are going for. I highly recommend having Lisa visit your organization as she did ours and being a value add to your workforce.
