- October 23, 2026Monty★★★★★
This was my first time using a Mentoring service and I was not disappointed. Matthew provided great advice that provided me with insight into my career situation. I am looking forward to using his principles for a new career trajectory.
- August 5, 2026Jinsuk★★★★★
I had a great session with Matt. He really took the time to dial into what I was asking and provided the insight I was looking for.
- March 7, 2026Frederico★★★★★
I have been bombing late round interviews. I was hopeless. I had a final round interview scheduled with an opportunity I want very much go land and booked Matt for an interview prep call. He listened, understood my style, and communicated with me in the manner that “hits home” for me. We outlined a plan of action. And I aced my interview! I don’t yet know if I got the job but what matters here is Matt provided me with structure and a method with which I can ace any interview from here on out and it has been tremendously empowering. I am grateful for this awesome coach!
- January 6, 2026David★★★★★
Matt was helpful and straightforward. He answered all my questions and prepared me for two upcoming interviews.
- November 4, 2025Steve★★★★★
Matthew provided many great alternatives to the standard "apply to as many jobs as possible on Likedin". I am working through those suggestions and feel comfortable that I will find employment.
- August 21, 2025Ryan★★★★★
Great overall experience! Matt was patient and knowledgeable and really gave me an idea where my resume’ and professional outlook should go. Would highly recommend!
- August 15, 2025Bryan★★★★★
I hadn’t been in the job market for over 10 years, and the idea of updating my resume to compete in today’s market felt overwhelming. Matt was an absolute pro from start to finish. He helped me regain confidence and completely reestablish my resume so it could stand out in a competitive field. His communication was clear, timely, and incredibly effective throughout the process. I’m now walking into interviews feeling prepared and confident — something I couldn’t have imagined just a short time ago. Highly recommend!

Matt was very helpful and knowledgeable. He helped give guidance on my resume and LinkedIn and offered up much of his time to ensure everything was in a good spot.
- June 3, 2025Don★★★★★
Matt was very helpful with resume creation, and general guidance about job searching and interviewing. Even though I didn't choose to take advantage of the mock interviews, it was definitely well worthwhile to work with him on everything else.
- March 26, 2025Brian★★★★★
Matt was extremely helpful, and provided a lot of great advice about how to plan a potential career change, and how to efficiently use LinkedIn. His advice was general enough to apply to any career, yet specific enough so I could developed a concrete plan.
- March 5, 2025Joan★★★★★
Working with Matt was exceptional. He has a lot of knowledge that can help you with your resume and Linkdein profile. I highly recommend him.
- February 24, 2025Abigail★★★★★
Matt is great, I'd highly recommend him - he's very candid, supportive, and gives great tactical advice.
- February 20, 2025Ivan★★★★★
Matt was a great coach. I asked Matt for help with networking for the goal of finding a job, and he tailored our call to fit my goals and needs. I could tell he genuinely wanted to help me get the best results. Even though the topic was about networking, he took some time to review my professional materials to better understand my career situation, and made suggestions to make it better. He was also patient in clarifying the reasoning behind some of his strategies. Matt has a straight forward, honest, no-nonsense approach to coaching. He shared a networking plan with structure and process, which aligned with how I operate. He helped change the way I think about networking and career strategies, which will bring me closer to my goals.
- November 3, 2024Ben★★★★★
Working with Matt gave me the confidence I needed to ask for the raise I deserved. With his guidance I ended up getting an extra 1k more than I had originally planned on asking for. Matt makes himself available via email/text throughout the negotiation process and has good insights and suggestions. Thanks Matt!
- September 4, 2024Ted★★★★★
Matt is a real pro - highly competent, engaged, and insightful. He hadn't previously advised anyone in my field - about which he was completely up-front - but he asked smart questions and listened carefully. His resume suggestions were perfect, often involving (in retrospect) simple solutions that had eluded me. Matt's strategic acumen also really came through during our consultation and was very helpful in reframing my approach to job hunting. Overall, a great experience thanks to Matt's skill as a coach combined with his willingness to go the extra mile for his clients. Highly recommended.
- August 2, 2024Samuel★★★★★
Nice guy, very helpful. You're gonna get out of this what you put into it.
- June 21, 2024Adam★★★★★
Matt was a huge help as I re-wrote both my resume and LinkedIn profile. He provided clear and actionable advice over multiple iterations and didn't rest until we both agreed the job was done. His experience as a hiring manager (still in industry) sets him apart from many other coaches. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.
- June 17, 2024John★★★★★
Matthew was a pleasure to work with and gave me a substantial amount of actionable feedback to work through. He took detailed notes on our conversations which will be a valuable resource for me going forward. I really appreciate his time and energy!
- June 12, 2024Bo★★★★★

- May 30, 2024Jack★★★★★
Matt was very personable and clear in terms of course of action. He was quick and professional with his work and I think we ended up with some great outcomes.
- May 21, 2024Tom★★★★★
Matt was knowledgeable, professional and delivered what he promised. He helped me reach my goal of having a concise resume and LinkedIn profile that highlighted my accomplishments and the value I would bring to an organization.
- May 15, 2024Matt★★★★★
Mat is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to - great advice on how to approach the market, especially for people who are shifting career fields.
- February 29, 2024Jennifer★★★★★
Matt provided pragmatic frameworks and tools to help drive meaningful change in updating my resume. It now articulates the impact my work has had in a concise manner which previously would have taken a wordy cover letter to convey. Through the iterate process we were able to deliver a solid upgraded output!
- February 26, 2024Aydin★★★★★
Working with Matt was a fantastic experience! From his knowledge and experience to his attentiveness to wanting to work within my timeline of things, from start to finish Matt provided me with unparalleled service that has me excited and confident to pursue the opportunities I want to!
- January 20, 2024Charles★★★★★
I was slightly hesitant to do this but I am so glad I did. My coach helped me clean up my resume and bring it up to a professional level. He was great at pulling out information that I had trouble articulating. He showed great patience when I was misunderstanding a task or missed something he wanted me to do. He worked with my schedule and was quick to respond to inquiries. I would recommend this service to anyone having trouble cleaning up an existing resume or starting fresh.
- January 19, 2024Paul Sarnowski★★★★★
Excellent experience with Matt and the Muse. I completely changed my resume and approach for the better based off his advice. Highly recommend
- December 28, 2023Kristin Neibert★★★★★
Matt made an immediate impact on my resume during our call, and we were able to fine-tune it with just a couple of back-and-forths. He was super flexible, held me accountable when needed, and very easy to work with.
- December 8, 2023My★★★★★
For years I’ve let companies determine my compensation. I never negotiated until now. Recently, I lowballed myself when the Talent Acquisition Manager asked me for my rate during the interview. When I received the offer detail, my stomach dropped and I knew I needed to negotiate. I reached out to Matt for help. We had a 30-min phone call and in the next few days, Matt was available over the phone, text and email. He guided me what to say to the Talent Acquisition Manager, I sent him screenshots of my convo and Matt was very responsive. I’m very happy to report that with his help I increase my compensation by 11%. I was happy to have had Matt’s help throughout the process. I highly recommend Matt if you’re in the position needing/wanting to negotiate.
- December 1, 2023KJ★★★★★
Matt was very helpful and knowledgeable. We had an initial email exchange to learn more about me and on the day of our meeting had a very methodical process and very valuable insights to address my needs. All and for all very productive.
- October 11, 2023Kyle★★★★★
Good advice and very informative.
- September 21, 2023Julian★★★★★
Matthew is very well rounded in today’s employment market and career opportunities. He was clear and concise with his recommendations and action plans.
- June 27, 2023Josh★★★★★
Matthew was excellent! He gave me great feedback and helped me tweak a few things that I wasn’t aware of.
- June 13, 2023Zach★★★★★
Matt was great! Good solid advice. Provided efficient and tangible advice and took time to get behind the why of doing/making certain career moves. Worth the money for sure.
- June 13, 2023Jay★★★★★
Really glad I had this call. Got the most out of it and asked him all my pertinent questions and got them answered. Gave me confidence to move forward. Thanks Matt!
- March 30, 2023Chris★★★★★
Matt was a great coach and addressed all of my needs. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of help to work with him. He was not afraid to tell me exactly where I needed improvement and showed me the steps needed to obtain my goals. I went in with no confidence about the job search process, but I left feeling significantly better and much more prepared. Thanks Matt!
- March 19, 2023Joshua★★★★★
He was very helpful and knowledgeable!
- March 14, 2023Jerry★★★★★
Working with Mathew was a great experience. He made me feel relaxed and gave me the tools I need to get through an interview.
- February 18, 2023Corey★★★★★
Matt is an honest guy who tells it like it is. He was able to quickly determine what I needed to improve the quality of both my Resume and LinkedIn. The result was more cohesive and comprehensive summary of my best qualities. Having these documents refreshed is already a confidence booster. On top of that, he provided great advice on how to move forward and take aim at my goals. Matt has a kind demeanor and his down to earth attitude is exactly what I needed to start getting out of this rut.
- February 10, 2023Layne★★★★★
Very happy with Matt's services - very positive, encouraging and knowledgeable. Generous with his time and knowledge, super quick with feedback. Highly recommend - getting help with my resume and LinkedIn profile was the right decision in my career path, and working with Matt was great!
- February 9, 2023Chris L.★★★★★
Matt was great to work with. Very straightforward approach and many practical strategies and tools to apply.
- January 24, 2023Robert★★★★★
Matt went above and beyond in his role as a career coach, putting in a level of work far surpassing the scope of what was expected.

- January 9, 2023Marc★★★★★

- December 15, 2022G★★★★★

- October 10, 2022Gilbert★★★★★

- August 4, 2022Holly★★★★★
Matt is great at helping distill your achievements and career highlights so your resume and LinkedIn are as buttoned up as possible, and really showcase your success. Thank you again Matt!
- July 30, 2022Jared★★★☆☆
The advice was sound but a little too vague and geared toward someone just starting their career.
- July 26, 2022Mike★★★★★
Matt was super responsive and well informed. We turned around numerous iterations of my resume in a day and a half. Highly Recommend!
- July 21, 2022Andrew★★★★★
Matt provided a transparent, knowledgeable, and realistic perspective concerning my targeted career pivot, as well as pointed recommendations on how to bolster my application strategy. I recommend Matt to those seeking direction in the job search or simply a well-informed, unbiased opinion!
- July 20, 2022Brian★★★★★
Matt was very flexible during the whole process. While I thought I needed one thing in my career search, I quickly realized that I needed to go somewhere else during this process and Matt was very open and flexible to changing our approach and plan of attack. Highly recommend!
- June 8, 2022Geoff★★★★★
Matt did everything he said he would - and more. I feel much more confident and knowledgeable moving forward with the new resume and Linkedin profile he provided.
- April 21, 2022Jared★★★★★
Working with Matt was terrific. He was very honest and gave great insights into the hiring process. In addition, he greatly improved my resume and more importantly enhanced my resume building capabilities. Matt has past hiring manager experience, so he understands not only what hiring managers are looking for but also the best methods to get your foot in the door with them. I highly recommend him.
- April 18, 2022Steven★★★★★
Matt was well prepared and provided helpful feedback as I kicked off my preparations to interview. Definitely recommend Matt as someone with deep understanding of the interview process and lost of experience to boot.
- April 14, 2022Lee★★★★★
Matthew was a perfect fit for coaching me. I am in the process of switching from construction management to IT. Matthew was able to capture my skills, talent, and ongoing education to help me make the transition seamless. I sent my resume out today for a summer internship and I am positive I will stand out thanks to Matthew. I will use him in the future for my linkedin profile as well!
- April 11, 2022Michele★★★★★
Matt is a pro who gives very clear direction, feedback, and support. Ultimately, working with Matt allowed me to overcome my fear of starting on the resume revision and the result is a one page resume that's been totally whipped into shape. I appreciated that we were able to go through multiple drafts until it was in the right place. Highly recommend!
- March 28, 2022Deel★★★★★
Thank you! Matt helped reshape the approach for an interview to show more value to the organization.
- March 24, 2022William★★★★★
Matt was amazing to work with. after not interviewing for several years I struggled mightily with our initial mock interview. Matt was able to provide actionable feedback and quick fixes to help me better articulate my relevant work experience. I had two interviews the next day and have already advanced to the next round for both companies. I highly recommend practicing your interview skills with Matt, and look forward to working with him again in the future.
- March 22, 2022Walker★★★★★
Matt was fantastic, my job search moved at an unexpectedly very fast paced. Matt was there any time I needed him to get his advice and ask him for his advice on applications, interviews, negotiations and resigning from my old company.
- March 10, 2022Tom★★★★★
Matt is professional, empathetic, experienced, and timely. This is my second time working with him and I can honestly say that it was worth the investment. Matt helps you dig deep into yourself to pull out your experience and then helps you refine so that it shines in the marketplace.
- February 8, 2022Lizette★★★★★
Matt was awesome! He is very smart and informative. He provided lots of great advice and a nice structure to my introduction in an interview.
- December 8, 2021Lateef★★★★★ServiceResume + LinkedIn Review
After working with Matt, I got the internal role we built the resume for. Throughout the process, I got a lot of compliments on the resume. With the action points he help me pull out, I had a deep bench full of stories and highlights for the interview and I was individually told by a panel of 6 that this was the best interview they’ve seen in years. Thank you so much for your help on everything.
- November 11, 2021Michael★★★★★
Matt was excellent! Very professional and insightful!
- November 11, 2021Wendy★★★★★
I am a tenured technology sales executive and I had a very long, wordy and outdated resume which I am sure overwhelmed recruiters and was never read. I hired a resume writer from The Muse who used the same exact verbiage that was on my old resume and put it in a new format. I could have done that myself. The Muse is very good about giving unsatisfied customers a refund so I tried again with Matt. Matt made me take part in rewriting my resume with more "sales action words". I did not expect to be as involved, but it has been about a month and I have gotten messages on my LinkedIn page from recruiters every day since. Now I also know how to tweak my own resume. Thanks, Matt!
- October 21, 2021Zain★★★★★
Matt was great to work with, he provided excellent instruction and feedback and really revamped my resume. Very quick with feedback and spent a lot of time understanding what I wanted in the initial interview which made the rest of the process a breeze.
- October 18, 2021Casa★★★★★
Matthew truly surpassed my expectations and is absolutely worth the investment. I not only got an excellent resume, but through his coaching and questions, I learned what to include and leave out and now feel like I can successfully continue to update my own resume in the future. He's also prompt, reliable, and fun to work with. I can't say enough good things about this experience.
- July 29, 2021Max★★★★★
This is the second time I've worked with Matt. He cleared up a lot of my questions and gave me great vision for navigating the job search. Great personable yet firm approach. I definitely recommend him
- July 14, 2021Brooke★★★★★
Matt helped me narrow down my search and really pinpoint the type of job I was looking for- he was professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him!
- June 18, 2021Casey★★★★★
Matt is great to work with! I have a pretty niche job and am interested in changing my career path. Matt asked great questions and gave useful feedback that helped me think critically about my work experience. This enabled me to pull out the best information for my resume. I really appreciated his focus on helping me understand the resume writing process more fully, so I feel confident to revamp my resume on my own down the line. The new resume is making me feel much more confident and optimistic about the job hunt. Before working with Matt, I had spent months applying for positions, but wasn't getting any interest. The first position I applied to after working with Matt offered me an interview within 48 hours of submitting the application!
- June 17, 2021Max★★★★★
It was great working with Matthew. He took the time to understand where I was and gave valuable advise without judgment. I hope to speak with him again if I have the need and budget.
- May 26, 2021Marina★★★★★
Matthew is very knowledgeable about the business field, especially if you are looking to break into management consulting. He has thoroughly and patiently answered the questions I had about career direction, provided spot-on feedback on cover letter and resume. A pleasure to work with!
- May 13, 2021Gwen★★★★★
Working with Matt was a joy and I look forward to working with him again.
- May 10, 2021Kiran★★★★★
Working with Matt was wonderful, he was patient and worked on revisions to get a great product. He was very responsive with timely responses, feedback, suggestions and guiding me to present my work/experience the right way to highlight it. Tremendously happy and satisfied.
- November 9, 2020Carrissa★★★★★
Working with Matt was great! He was very knowledgeable and made the whole process very painless. I was impressed with how quick he was to respond to all my questions, even the silly ones. I came away with a resume that I am very proud of and happy to send out as I think it truly expresses my successes and what I am capable of.
- October 26, 2020KIM★★★★★
100% satisfied collaborating with Matt and The Muse on my updated resume. Matt is super easy to work with; he communicates clearly, is very responsive, and explains the strategy so you can apply it going forward. Don't waste your time on anyone else. Matt has reviewed thousands of resumes, so he knows what works and what doesn't.
- October 19, 2020Lauren★★★★★
Matt was incredible to work with. My resume is 1000x better! This is absolutely worth your time!
- September 18, 2020Erica★★★★★
As an experienced Tech Start-up Sales Exec I was really worried about finding a resume writer who understood my industry. Matt DID understand my industry, however; Matt could literally help anyone, at any level, in any industry write a kick-ass resume. He asked all the right questions and truly helped me show my professional journey in resume form. And he made the whole thing seem so simple I couldn’t believe I couldn’t do it on my own. But I couldn’t, not like Matt did. Working with Matt was so easy, and SO beneficial, my only regret is not finding him sooner! Seriously, he is THE BEST!
- September 9, 2020David★★★★★
Matt is an extremely professional, polite, and fun person to talk to. He was able to rapidly assess my situation and provide meaningful advice and actionable next steps. He was also able to identify a few potential pitfalls in my professional communications which I might otherwise have fallen into. Thanks for the assistance Matt!
- August 27, 2020Claire★★★★★
Matt was easy to work with. He was able to turn my jumbled experience into a timeless resume.
- August 21, 2020Bob★★★★★
Matt was terrific and very patient
- June 16, 2020Sarah★★★★★
Matt was SO helpful in revamping my resume for my job search. I recently lost my job due to COVID and haven't been in the job market for almost 4 years. Matt helped me to understand and refine my skills as an EA to present them to potential employers via my resume. I feel so much more confident now!
- May 12, 2019Jane★★★☆☆
I haven’t had a ton of luck with resume coaches on The Muse. Something to be aware of is many of the coaches, including Matthew, are “generalists.” The approach he wanted to use for my resume wasn’t one that worked particularly well for my field, Marketing. He is extremely open to feedback, patient and very easy to work with. I just don’t think he had the skill set to be able to help me, a director-level professional in marketing improve my resume. He relied on my knowledge and the way I had originally been communicating my work—which, ultimately, led to a similar resume as an output. While this isn’t related to Matthew specifically, I think it’s important to state: based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend The Muse’s coaching services to any of my contacts.
- April 30, 2019Joseph★★★★★
Matthew was very friendly and knowledgable. He offered many tips to better my resume and some new ideas on where to look for a job. He also made me reflect on the atmosphere and rewards I would desire from a company.
- February 20, 2019Nicholas★★★★★
Matt was extremely personable and professional throughout every aspect of the ultimate job search kit. He was not only able to keep things in the simplest of terms when trying to convey his message, but also enlightened me to things I had never even thought of. I would highly recommend his services to any friend or colleague and wish him the absolute best!
- December 18, 2018Laurel★★★☆☆
This was a mixed experience. Matt is a good communicator and responded well to feedback, and has a helpful framework for re-writing resume bullets. I felt that I did most of the heavy lifting when it came to revising my resume and updating my LinkedIn, which was not my expectation going in to the process. It was hard to get really detailed feedback or substantial content edits. It would be helpful to have more contact with coaches up front before committing to this service so that clients know what they're paying for and what to realistically expect.
- December 14, 2018Rachel★★★★★
Matt was really great to work with. I felt comfortable sharing with him the difficulties in my current career and also how lost I felt trying to navigate a career change. He helped me define coaching vs. mentoring, and then he modeled great coaching by helping me to see what I wanted.
- November 27, 2018Harrison★★★★★
He helped me with every aspect of the job search that has been frustrating me for so long. I have already seen a huge improvement in search results.
- November 13, 2018Thomas★★★★★
I can't begin to describe how happy I was hiring Matt to help me through my Resume Review. Not only did he expertly manage every step of the experience but he also never made me feel like he was 'on the clock' and tirelessly worked with me until all my expectations were exceeded.
- November 13, 2018Craig★★★★★
I first worked with Matt on the stuck in a rut. He really helped me be able to focus where I wanted to go with my career by giving me tailored exercises that really made sense to me. Then, after realizing how much help I needed on my resume, I re-hired Matt to help me get it application-ready. He was prompt and responsive and got it to a place I never could have done on my own.
- October 2, 2018Victoria★★★★★
Matt is FANTASTIC. I got a tremendous amount of value out of our work together. He helped me to re-think the way I was presenting myself on my resume and really pushed me outside my comfort zone with the mock interview. Not only do I feel much more confident coming out of the coaching experience, but I have already seen a drastic improvement in the response rate in my job search. The experience was absolutely worth every cent, and then some. Thanks Matt!
- September 25, 2018Matt★★★★★
great guy and a great communicator. Really took a mess of an academic style resume and made it look business professional.
- September 24, 2018Gary★★★★★
Working with Matt was great. I thought our start was a little rough since I was nervous about the whole experience, but Matt was really interested in helping me make the most of our meetings and boosted my confidence with the job search. We did a revamp of everything and I like how Matt challenged me to reframe my experiences to really make them stand out on a resume. I also really appreciated the mock interview. That was my first mock interview and it was great to get some feedback on my answers.
- June 1, 2018Brady P★★★★★
Working with Matt was fantastic. His great advice and edits quickly brought my resume up to the point where I'm extremely comfortable with where I'm at. Beyond that, the recommendations he made are clear and will be easy to incorporate to future updates and additions to my resume. All around, highly recommend working with Matt.
- May 12, 2018Mary★★★★★
Matthew was beyond awesome. He took the time to really understand where I am now and where I want to be with my career. He helped me make objective decisions about what to keep and what to cut — which is so hard! It felt like a team effort in this process and ensured I was 100% happy and comfortable with the edit made. And it was so fast, but you go at your pace and how quickly you want to get done.
- May 4, 2018Zach★★★★★
Matt was great. He came loaded with advice and useful insights. Highly recommended.
- April 26, 2018Grace★★★★★

Matt was great. He really knows what he is doing. I was pretty lost when I began this process and he was extremely patient. He helped me to look at putting a resume together differently than I have before. The end product was great!

Matt is beyond awesome, and the experience was worth every penny. He was very patient, responsive, and always available via email. After our session, he provided detailed notes of our meeting and exercises to assist me with building a stronger resume. He was really there to kick me into gear, and genuinely cared about my professional success. This resume and profile re-vamp was exactly what I needed to get myself back on track towards the career change I've been thinking about.

Matt was very open to discuss what I really needed and was able to help me focus on my strengths. Through our discussion I became more confident about what to put on my resume and gained clarity in the bullet point structures. My advice is to not be shy and tell him what you really need and he will try to make that happen for you. I'm glad that I discovered Matt!

Matt was professional, insightful and direct. He was able to help me create focus and depth to my resume by asking pointed questions. His iterative and collaborative approach to refine my resume was extremely effective as well. Matt also helped me prepare for interviews through a very on-point role play session. He provided me very constructive feedback and I still apply it throughout my current interviews which have already led to very positive outcomes. Matt is truly a great partner and I highly recommend his services.

- June 1, 2017Leslie★★★★★
Working with Matt is something I really needed at this time. It can be challenging trying to think of what you want to say, but Matt challenges you to speak your skills and expectations into existence. In addition, Matt's bullet hierarchy helped me to concisely bring out the most in my experiences with as little as possible! If you're looking for someone who can pack a punch and show you the power of how to be dynamic and concise on your job documents, I would strongly recommend Matt!
- May 16, 2017Miller H.★★★★★
Matt was an invaluable asset for me as I kicked-off my search for a new opportunity in a brand new city. He took the time to methodically establish a job search strategy that was best suited for me and the roles I was targeting. He revamped my resume and LinkedIn page to a level that caught recruiters' eyes. Most importantly, Matt helped set me up for success in a mock interview by patiently providing behavioral/technical interview questions I could most likely encounter. I was able to put it all to use, immediately! The opportunity to work with Matt is definitely worth the time and the investment.
- April 27, 2017Maria★★★★★
Matt if very personable and helpful. Resume writing and interview prep can be an intimidating process, but Matt made it so approachable. I would work with him again.
- April 25, 2017Rebecca★★★★★
I was hesitant to hire a coach, but I had been putting off asking for a raise for months and really needed help. Luckily, Matt provided the perfect blend of confidence coaching and expert guidance. If I had tried to do this on my own, I would have second-guessed myself through the whole process, but with Matt's help and thoughtful questions, I negotiated a fair increase to my compensation. More importantly, I now have the tools I need to do this again on my own. If you're about to enter a salary negotiation and are even a little unsure of yourself, do yourself a favor and get Matt in your corner.
- April 25, 2017Lynn★★★★★
Matt understood right away what I was going for and helped me go for it--and I think we nailed it. He was very responsive and prompt and a very pleasant combination of super-friendly and all-business, if that makes sense. Would recommend him to others seeking to frame their past experience in order to highlight their chops and potential as entrepreneurs.

I did not know where to turn or what approach to take to get motivated and then I heard about The Muse. From their great site it gives you options of differnt packages and this is where I choose Matt Ford whom I would highly recommend. My case is maybe a lot like others, don't know how to create a good resume, profile, LinkedIn page + more. Matt is perfect, he knows all about getting you ready for the job market and confident. Matt is a great listener and always available to answer questions by email or text. Don't think twice about picking Matt Ford, I promise you won't regret it.
- November 22, 2016Megan★★★★★
I worked with Matt for the Job Search package where we updated my resume and LinkedIn and did a mock interview. Matt immediately built a strong rapport and I felt comfortable sharing my career aspirations and concerns with him. He pushed to get my resume into top shape, stressing analytics and helping to update the format from my college resume. He also gave some great pointers for LinkedIn, and my profile views have already increased 115% from when we had started. For the mock interview, he asked tough questions that I would have been completely unprepared to answer in a real interview. All of this was done quickly, at my request, and I really appreciated his understanding of my timing situation. Matt was a pleasure to work with and I do not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to improve their career.
- November 18, 2016Cristina★★★★★
Matt was very friendly and professional. He took time to find out what was important in my industry and was great at helping me to not overthink my resume.

The experience felt like a true collaboration. I'm definitely recommending him to friends.

Matt was excellent to work with. He had plenty of ideas and advice for someone like myself, who is just starting to attempt the professional world. His advice was something that I felt I'll be to take no matter what industry I end up in. (Still in school, so who knows) He was amazing at understanding my current crazy schedule to help me out the best he could.
- August 4, 2016Courtney★★★★★
I feel like Matt really went above and beyond for me. From the get go, he was extremely eager to help and responsive- he was leaving for vacation two days after our introduction and still managed to update my resume and LinkedIn profile with thoughtful insights very quickly. He is also a great mock interviewer, and provided very helpful feedback. You know he's always rooting for you. Thanks to Matt, I now feel like I have all the tools necessary for a successful job hunt!
- July 7, 2016Rob★★★★★
