Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: 1) I work with the WHOLE HUMAN BEING, not just a list of professional qualifications! 2) Empathy, intuition, intelligence, and experience. I've been teaching and counseling for over 30 years, coaching people through major life transitions of all kinds. This obviously implies that I'm someone who thrives in the process of personal discovery myself, so I've been there. I have very strong radar for uncovering a client's deeper passion and helping each individual find the courage and clarity to explore that. Both the "Aha!" moments, and the smaller sparks that lead to them. Watching the light go on in people's eyes bit by bit as they discover that possibility is considerably closer than they might have believed.

Hired on Thumbtack

Hired on Thumbtack

I'm French, and looking for a job in the US. Kevin has been a perfect choice for me. At first glance, I chose him because he is a fluent French speaker, which made the process easier. But I found out he's more than a resume writer. He became a counselor for the important choices I have to make in my professional life. I enjoyed communicating with him via Skype, and got a perfect resume and a lot of great advice for my job search. I look forward to meeting Kevin during my next trip to California.

Retaining Kevin as a Career Counselor and Life Coach is proving to be one of the best decisions I ever made. He is a passionate professional, offering a combination of warmth and expertise that generates meaningful results. I came to Thumbtack frustrated with my stagnant job search and with the intent to hire a professional to freshen my résumé. Kevin offers so much more; on reading his Thumbtack and Counsel-Ink profiles, I immediately knew that I wanted to work with him. The kind way in which he articulates his balanced, holistic approach won my confidence that he would be sensitive to my struggles around career-related matters. Kevin is generous in his communications as we discuss engagement options, and our work has been fruitful from the get-go. He is thoughtful in how he paces us, direct both in probing and providing feedback to keep momentum, and careful as he guides me in mining my personal history to inform my current goals. He works intuitively, constantly auditing my responses, and is at all times respectful of my limits while encouraging me to explore and meet places of internal challenge. He is fully invested in the importance of this work. Kevin is a true advocate for my personal growth, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to work with him.

I do not think words will ever fully express how grateful I am for the opportunity to work with Kevin. I found him completely by chance. I found thumbtack through a google search. I completed the 'what I am looking' for section and got 5 responses. I feel that Kevin was the only one to read and actually 'see' me for what I was hoping to accomplish with this work. I emailed Kevin prior to working with him and the questions he asked truly made me feel as if he was going to get just as much out of our working together as I was hoping to. We met via Skype(added bonus as distance does not matter) and had an initial conversation to learn a little more about each other. He was truly interested in knowing me and what I was hoping to accomplish, what direction I was hoping to go, and what I was passionate about. Kevin also helped me work through some troubling times at my current position. He didn't do the work, he gave me the tools to do so, which is a great skill and talent to have. He helped me articulate all of this into an amazing cover letter and resume that I feel will get noticed and get me in the door. Working with Kevin has changed my outlook on the job search and my career in general. I feel empowered. Working with Kevin, may be one of the best decisions you can ever make. I know it was one of the best investments I have ever made. I will miss having weekly meetings with Kevin, but I know he and I will stay in touch, and I know if needed I can always reach back out to him and work with him again.

Writing a resume and cover letter spanning a 40 plus year career is a daunting task. Couple that with the fact that I consider writing so much as a paragraph a form of torture, Kevin had his work cut out for him. Using humor and gentle nudging, he challenged me to come out of my self imposed shell and together we created a resume and cover letter I was proud of.

Coming from just having a negative experience with a consultant, Kevin was a breath of fresh air. From our first meeting, Kevin was kind, knowledgable and truly insightful. My experience, both professionally and personally, are different than most and translating that experience into a useable resume and cover letter seemed impossible to do myself. Kevin exceeded expectations and he actually listened to me, which my hired consultant invariably avoided. I am so pleased to have stumbled onto thumbtack and to have had the opportunity to work with Kevin. I now have a resume and cover letter that the general public can read and understand! Resume/cover letter: check. Grad school applications are the next major task on my agenda and Kevin has already helped inspire ideas I wouldn't have been able to evoke myself. I look forward to finishing all my essays and with his help and guidance!

FAQs

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    W. is a client who had recently gotten his Bachelors from a local business school. He's passionate about investment, having grown up in a family where several people work in related fields. Unfortunately, he was a little passive going through college; his grades were good but not great, and he had done little by way of internships. It was a delicate process to put together his resume in a way that highlighted his positive aspects and experience. I'm especially proud of the cover letter we created, which evoked his passion, knowledge of the field, and genuine curiosity about all the elements that make up a successful investor. RESULT: he received multiple interviews (several for positions that were technically above his level), and was offered several positions. Proud to say he ended up at Bank of America, where he is truly thriving.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Trust your instincts. If someone feels like a strong connection (even if you can't clearly articulate why initially) it's probably worth a first meeting. The converse holds just as true, of course: if a little voice says "steer clear", LISTEN.
