Jan was extremely helpful and supportive of my job search and roles! She was encouraging, noting she could see the definite links between my experiences and what I was looking to move into (academic program management in Higher Ed to corporate customer success/program management), and helped me re-word my resume so my experiences were more "corporate-speak." She also sent me additional information she heard at a recent talk. I would 100% hire Jan again to work on future career items if needed!

Amazing. Really helpful. Great advice. Very clear and understanding.
- August 16, 2021Kelly★★★★★
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.
- July 28, 2021Erik★★★★★
Super easy to work with and delivered ahead of schedule. Definitely recommend! Thank you.
- July 11, 2021Irene★★★★★

Jan was the best career coach for me! I couldn't have asked for a better guide through this tough time. Having her help write, draft, and edit my cover letter was amazing. I hired her separately to get my resume into great shape. She was so kind throughout and never made me feel overwhelmed by the process. Thank you again, Jan!!!
- July 3, 2021Jane★★★★★
I can safely say that, without Jan's help, I would not be working the amazing job I'm working today. She took an outdated resume and LinkedIn profile and helped me update both to be competitive in today's job market. As soon as I implemented her suggestions, responses to my application submissions doubled. In addition, she took the time to get to know me, challenges I may have in my job search, and was easy / pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her if you're serious about landing your dream job.
