Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Over the course of my writing and editing history, I have helped students earn acceptance into the most difficult programs--Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, NYU, among other top-tier schools. From undergraduate BA/BS (including early admission and early action) to JD, PhD, MD, MA/MS, and (E)MBA applicants, my clients receive one-on-one assistance from beginning to end. Top tier not in the cards? Gap year? No problem! Every client is important and treated with the utmost presence and respect. And, results are the same irrespective of target program...you will receive college / university acceptance offers. One of the best investments you can make is to have your admissions process spearheaded by me. I not only provide the services that will result in the academic program acceptance letters you desire, but equally important, you will be supported by a new-found level of confidence in yourself and your abilities. I'll catapult your academic trajectory while assisting you in igniting self-efficacy, mastery, and resilience to increase your success in all life areas. I have spent 20+ years perfecting my craft. I consider myself an artisan. I don't farm work out—it is all me throughout the project’s lifecycle—initial phone call to project completion. I put my extensive doctoral background to work for you, for I have a vested interest in seamlessly ushering you to the next phase of your life with as little stress as possible. I'll even go so far as to state I make the process is fun! A keen eye for bringing out one's uniqueness, I also leverage my admissions process expertise and seasoned intuition inform my work. If you are reading these words, you are being guided to take the next best steps for you. Contact me; I will assist you in your journey so you can realize your academic, and ultimately professional dreams. With me, you have an editor, advisor, and advocate for life! Remember, there is a big difference between price and value. My clients understand and appreciate that difference. And, as the process is lengthy and intense, I can only onboard a limited number of students. NOTE: If you would like to schedule an initial consult, please refrain from using this platform. You've been training your whole life for this! Best, Rebecca Kovan, PhD

I hired Rebecca to revamp my resume and create a cover letter. She was phenomenal! Her mastery of outcome-oriented language is impressive. Then, she wrote a job evaluation paragraph for me, free of charge. Rebecca is a true professional. I am thrilled with her work. If you are looking for a resume and cover letter editor / writer, you need not look any further. Rebecca truly is the best!

Rebecca is the best. My child had extreme anxiety dealing with the college application process. We all did. Rebecca stepped in and helped organize the process, kept my daughter accountable and on task, guided my daughter and worked magic with the essays, and overall made the process pretty easy. Ten schools were targeted and not only did my daughter get into all ten, but she got her early decision choice of NYU. She's a few weeks in to her NYU academics and could not be happier. If you want results, contact Rebecca. She's truly a college admissions angel.

When you've built your career around your personal network and haven't used a resume in a long time - at some point you'll realize that it limits your options. Recruiters and headhunters DO look at your LinkedIn profile, and DO ask for a resume because that's the currency for their internal systems. And if they don't like what they see - you're just another number in their internal system that gets the "decline" button. These decisions are made within a few seconds. that's what happened to me. I worked 13 years for a brand name consultancy, and then another 8 years in the venture ecosystem. Nobody clearly EVER asked me for my resume. They knew who I was. But I started to realize that I was missing out on potential opportunities simply because my linkedin was pretty skinny. Invest forward, brush up your resume now, don't wait until somebody knocks on your door. You'll actually notice an increase in inbounds when you get a professional to re-write your resume. I worked with Rebecca to get my resume and LinkedIn profile an overhaul. here's the result: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larskamp/ (as of April 2020) I purely selected Rebecca based on reviews on Thumbtack - but that decision paid off many times over, and I now know why she has such a stellar rating! We spend "quality time" on the phone on my professional history, Rebecca re-wrote my resume to feature accomplishments, not activity. She put a lot of time into it, and we worked together on the different iterations. Just the process of figuring out your accomplishments will make you realize how much you've actually done in your professional live. It's a confidence booster. You can't go wrong working with Rebecca, it's an investment that will pay off for your career.

Details: Outdated resume • Information technology • Executive-level / C suite • Web presence (e.g., LinkedIn) • At the pro’s location • Remotely (phone or internet)

Our family hired Rebecca to help my son finalize his college essays and to work on his resume. She responded quickly, worked with our busy schedule, and did the job promptly. After visiting with her on the phone, she set our minds at ease about the process. I can recommend her without hesitation. We plan to use her again in the future.
