    Sector & ServiceHealthResume Review

    I’m glad I hired a coach to help me with my resume. I was feeling overwhelmed with how to re-format the entire resume and word things differently. It was also very helpful to have someone tell me which items were more important over others and how to highlight them. The phone calls topped it off! If it was just over email I would not have felt as confident with the program and help.
