I have never been so impressed as I was at the end of my rope as I kept losing job after job because of a very subpar resume that I had wrote. I needed a change I needed a fighting chance in the job market. I came to her and with a very reasonable rate and a great phone interview then a series of questions I now have resume that is so professional and excellent I feel that I am going to be having my phone ringing off the hook. If you want a fantastic resume a professional resume a resume that is going to get you noticed then she is the one to go with.

Can't say enough about how well Emily did. She was the second person I hired in as many months and gave me a better quality resume at a better price. She understood the importance of the marketing and design aspects of a resume better than many and I instantly noticed an increase in response from the resume she wrote for me. I have recommended her to everyone I know that is job hunting.

Thumbtack has you choose only 3 out of 5 positive adjectives to describe your experience with a professional; however, Emily's "responsiveness" & "punctuality" are EASILY equally efficient as the other 3 (work quality, professionalism, value). I had ran into some trouble with the last digital/writing media specialist working for my business beforehand, & I've only been working with Emily no more than a month & she has already surpassed any expectations I had been looking for once I finally decided to part paths with the previous agency I had hired. If you are anything like me as a business owner, you value hard work, integrity, & overall good people working for you as opposed to strictly sales techniques. While Emily can do that (marketing strategies that is) & then some, what makes her stand out to me & why I am so grateful to both have found her as well as continue working with her, is who she is as a person. Understanding is an understatement, & YES, she is indeed a fierce woman of her word. We need people like that working for us when our livelihoods mean the world to you like it does mine. So I can only hope Emily is always treated with the utmost respect (as, in running a service business myself, I know how much kindness like hers can often go unseen), & always rightfully compensated for the time, effort, & energy she so wholeheartedly puts into her work. Thank you, Emily!

I hired Emily to create a resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile for me. I was at that time, at the same Accounting job for nearly 20 years and was trying to build a resume on my own. I had submitted my own version for a couple of new positions with no luck so decided to have a pro build it. After she reviewed my version, she determined I was underestimating myself and off she went. She had it complete within 2 days. I submitted my new resume for 2 positions and received 2 offers and am happily in a new Controller position.
