We know that takes careful attention, practice, and revision to get to the point where you’re an expert at pitching yourself. We don’t do templates, broad strokes, or generic advice. Our approach is customized, tailored, and specific to who you are and what you want to achieve.
- Resume development: We will help you craft your resume so that it’s specific to the industry you want to work in. This is your story, but we will critique it line by line to make sure that you communicate your experience, skills, and objectives as efficiently and effectively as possible.
- Interview preparation: Our advice goes beyond eye contact and a firm handshake. Our coaches offer one-on-one practice mock interviews across a range of industries and interview formats.
