I have been struggling to find a job for a very long time. Deb was very generous with her time in reviewing and rewriting my resume and LinkedIn page. They look so much more polished and professional. Deb has a wealth of knowledge and I learned a lot from her. I just know that things are going to turn around. If you are feeling hopeless in your job search do yourself a favor and reach out to Deb. She will have you feeling better after the initial phone call!

I worked with Deb on overhauling my resume. She not only knew the ins and outs of resumewriting; she also knew enough about my field to be able to help me figure out how to best position myself. She is a delight to work with and I highly recommend her!
Details: I have a completed draft that needs revision • Mid-level (3 - 8 yrs experience) • Cover letter • Career advice / coaching • I travel to the resume writer

I initially contacted Deb about my recent graduate to take a look at his resume and give us some professional advice . It was a great experience as I believe it was an easier transition in his interviewing process and job search. I knew she would be a great fit after speaking with her. I gave her contact information to him and the transactions from there were flawless between the two of them.

WORTH EVERY PENNY. I came to Deb at a time when I knew that I wasn't in the right job but was also not sure what I was looking for. She began by talking me through what I liked about my current position and what I didn't like. She helped to guide me towards what kind of work I wanted to pursue. Then we met in person three times to focus on my resume, LinkedIn profile, and interviewing techniques. She was very flexible about meeting at times that worked for me - after business hours. She was also available outside of these meetings to answer any questions I had or to review cover letters. She really went above and beyond when I needed additional help getting my cover letter and resume ready to send out. When I got an offer, she reviewed it and let me know her thoughts. I really don't think I would have gotten another job without her help and follow up. She gave me the confidence and skills I needed to pursue new opportunities. I start my new job in a couple of weeks at one of the best companies to work for in Boston!

Deb’s services were excellent! I am in the daunting process of job searching and have never worked with a career coach before. Deb spent time getting to know me and understand my challenges. She planned my sessions prioritizing my needs within my small budget. She did an amazing job of working with me to create a better, quality resume and Linked In profile, putting in additional effort! I am already feeling more confident and much more prepared to find my ideal job!

Over 25 years as a professional and leader in my industry where I created the model and evangelized the new marketing platform of doing ethical email marketing at it's inception over 20 years ago in addition to succeeding and working in a highly functioning corporate environment.
