Testimonials

"Julia was superb. As a former college professor, her writing and editing skills are masterful. She read my worksheet carefully and noted some inconsistencies in the information. Based on her careful review, she made important corrections and improvements to the final documents. "Branding myself" made me uncomfortable initially, but she guided me patiently and enthusiastically through the process. While she responded to my requests and questions within hours, I never felt rushed or pressured. Her personality is warm and approachable. At the same time, she sets a monumentally high bar in the quality of her work. I wholeheartedly recommend Julia to my friends and colleagues." 

E.S., Physician, Boston, MA

"Julia was terrific. She did a great job combining, prioritizing, and portraying my work history and skillset in a compelling way. Her ability to present my confusing work history (multiple positions at once) was stellar." 

Update: "I wanted to let you know the progress I have had with the resume that you wrote for me. After sending the resume out to all the recruiters, my phone rang off the hook. I had several hundred email requests for follow ups and dozens of phone calls. My resume generated interviews with two companies within 10 days and I was offered a full-time managerial position within 30 days of the resume going out. You were a great partner through the entire process and helped me to achieve my professional goals by landing such a great job with a great company. Thank you for your efforts." 

M.M., Operations Manager, Burlington, VT

"Julia provided me with invaluable guidance updating my outdated resume and LinkedIn page, helping me to stand out from the crowd while attempting a lateral move. Julia was a joy to work with, and I appreciated her thoughtful approach to understanding my professional goals and accomplishments over the course of several phone calls. I was also impressed by the way Julia worked to learn and incorporate terms of art from my (legal) industry and showed a genuine interest in my career. I would absolutely and enthusiastically recommend Julia's services to any professional considering a move--particularly in these challenging times--or someone interested in career coaching." 

W.K., Attorney, Ann Arbor, MI

"Julia is extraordinary and a pure pleasure to work with. It is clear Julia is working from a strategy, data, and experience-with-what-works point of view. I liked and highly respected her working approach, her conversational style, and her willingness to offer an opinion or guidance. (not a pushover just to get more business or a good review). Clearly I was working with a well-rounded professional. I was very pleased with the experience and would recommend Julia highly." 

R.K., VP Strategic Global Accounts, Seattle, WA

"Asking Julia to review and update my resume was such a smart thing for me to do! She is very skilled and spent time asking me all the right questions to get on paper what I truly wanted to convey. Resume writing is an art of its own and Julia is completely up-to-date and in touch with current trends. She was always professional, always enthusiastic, and worked hard to get my resume just right. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Her help and expertise were worth every penny of my investment."

 J.M., RN, Purmela, TX

"The quality of service was extremely high and Julia responded very quickly to all emails and requests. First draft was sent much earlier than advised date. The quality of my resume is much higher than what I could have done, so I am very grateful for the work. It is well worth the price to have a resume that I am happy with and confident sending for future job applications. "
