Steven Starks

Amazing experience! I couldn't have produced such a high quality resume to this standard on my own. S

great communication and professionalism, get to know you in a short time, and complies info into a draft resume that covers your conversation, aspirations, and experience. quick turnaround time

Steven was fantastic! He walked through my career journey and asked lots of questions. He captured my achievements and career highlights beautifully. Working with him was a wonderful experience!

I suffer from low self-esteem which is reflected on my Resume. Steven helped bring my experience into new light that I could never of done myself. He was patient working with me to understand my experience in a difficult field and improved the wording to make me feel like I'm needed as a designer. I also had an issue with the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) layout. Sure my layout needed to be nice, but I need to be seen by employers first. Steven also reworded and reorganized my Resume to pick up on common designer words. Thank you very much and hope to find a job soon!

Steven was easy to work with, asked great questions, and helped me present my best self in my resume. I highly recommend him!

I hadn’t worked on my resume in 20 years so I was a bit daunted. Steven really made the effort to understand my experience and craft it into a resume I am proud of. He asked thought provoking questions and then wove all the threads together in a way I don’t think I would have been able to. He also did all of this in a much faster timeframe than I expected. Highly recommend!

I personally have a hard time putting my thoughts down on paper and Steven did an amazing job helping me articulate.

Steven is doing such a great job! He is asking lots of questions, but it is only in an effort to better understand my work history so he can tailor my resume to me.

Working with Steven was a great experience. He knew I was on a time crunch and took the time to help me with my resume to get it done on time. He was quick to respond and thorough with his edits. I learned a lot during my call with him and my resume is now better than I could have imagined. Thank you, Steven!

Steven was a pleasure to work with and is a great writer who can flesh out the details that are most important to the resume. He expanded on what I had in my resume and helped me recognize some of the contributions I have made to my past employers, things that I didn't realize were as important. I have a better grasp on what my skills are, where my interests lie, the contributions I've made to my employers, and on the direction I will be headed in my career. Funny thing is, I decided to completely change my course of direction and start my own business. This partnership with Steven was inspiring and I recognized that I was headed in a direction that wasn't fitting to me. The new resume will greatly inform my business plan and I feel way more confident than I did coming into this experience. But if I were to choose to stay in my current industry, this resume would still be awesome to use. Hire Steven , you won't regret it!

Working with Steven Stark’s was a fantastic experience. He made full use of the questionnaires I completed to prepare for our call and asked excellent probative questions to determine how ai could best be showcased in resume format. I was thoroughly pleased with my resume and within the first few days I had requests for more interviews than I could attend. Working with Steven it was clear that he cared about helping me and that really showed in the end product. I highly recommend Steven.

Steven took the time to understand my work history and my job objectives. He took extra effort to engage with me to rewrite a resume that should deliver results in my job search.

Steven went above and beyond to help me update my resume. He spent a ton of time learning about my past experiences and pulled things out of our conversation that I didn’t even think to include in my résumé. He was also very timely which I appreciated because I wanted to start interviewing as soon as possible.

Working with Steven was wonderful! I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Steven. Steven did extensive research into my career field to help convey my particular talents. I will definitely recommend Steven to anyone who is looking for help!

Steven took the time to really understand what it is I do. His questions were specific to me and designed to find connections between where I am and and where I hope to go. This experience was constructive and it gave me another perspective on my resume/career, which I feel has been invaluable.

Steven did a great job, especially in our opening conversation about my existing experience. He has a really warm and welcoming way of asking questions, which was important for someone like me who can have a lot of anxiety about job hunting. I think the resumes he produced for me are great, and I'm already getting interview offers. He's a real pro!

Steven took a great deal of time to research my specific industry allowing him to ask very specific questions and understand my industries terminology. This went beyond topical content and I was very impressed with his dedication.

I had a great experience working with Steven. He's very calm and a good listener and asks lots of questions. I really appriciate the work he did for me.

Overall, Steven did a fantastic job. What I appreciated the most about Steven is his methodical approach. His ability to ask the right type of open ended questions is certainly what is needed in a career coach so he or she is able to deliver key bullet points within your resume that send the right message to a potential employer.

It was really a great experience working with Steven, he was extremely helpful and patient and he took the time and effort to understand my Job function and recreated my long storied resume into a great piece of document alongside my day to day duties there is also a running commentary on the different success stories which is really awesome!

Steven was very helpful in clarifying that I did not need help with my resume but what I wanted to do in the next steps of my career. We discussed interesting and small action steps to take and see if anything will "speak" to me and I am looking forward to starting.

Steven was great to work with, especially when it came to approaching my work experience objectively. He also was very accessible during our phone conference and listened intently, taking notes while I made connections to the work I am aiming for and the experience I have that is applicable. Last, but not least, Steven helped me feel excited about the process and confident about everything I have to offer in my field, as well as potentially outside my field of interest. Also, he took a 13-paged academic CV and condensed it to 1-page. Amazing!

Steven's attention to detail ability to rework a resume along with crafting a LinkedIn profile are top notch. I'm changing to a career in tech from one as a wine buyer and my documents are amazing. My confidence in finding a new job is high. Don't pass up the chance to work with someone who genuinely cares about your success!

Steven was amazing to work with on revising my resume and LinkedIn profile. After a career in Event Marketing, I went back to graduate school over 10 years ago and got Masters degrees in Social Work and Nonprofit Administration. After working only a year and a half in political social work, I was forced to leave due to a family crisis and caregiving. I continued with volunteer work but am now looking for full time work and faced the challenge of a re-starting a second career and a five year employment gap. Steven asked many pertinent questions in a very non-judgmental and caring way. He put together my "brand" materials that are now focused and tell a story that I am proud to tell.

The first few minutes of the conversation, Steven kept apologizing for asking too many questions and I kept saying it was fine. Half hour later, my jaw was tired of talking LOL . Steven brought out the best in me. He is a very nice person. He made me feel that I can trust him. AND he is GOOD!

I really was not sure what to expect working with a coach and I was pleasantly surprised with Steven! Steven took the time to develop a deep and thorough understanding of my career aspirations, my professional background and my career accomplishments. He then delivered a revised resume that far exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend him if you want a coach that truly cares about helping you to achieve the success you desire.

Steven clearly helped me understand my full potential and my true career purpose. He is a very good listener and is extremely empathetic. In a very short span of time he dramatically improved my resume and LinkedIn profile.

I really appreciated Steven's approachable and well thought-out guidance in helping me navigate back into the job search process. It had been a number of years since I've actively looked for new employment opportunities so was a bit bewildered on how to start up again. I was also planning to switch careers so really was at a loss and felt somewhat behind on where to begin my search and how to reformat my resume. Steven eased my tensions by asking some great introductory questions and helped me anchor in to what I was newly interested in. He found some very useful and creative ways of highlighting a number of important work qualities I didn't initially pay attention to. He really took his time during our phone conversation to answer all my questions and offer some thoughtful advice and ideas for me to zone in on. I was very happy with the outcome and updated resume version he helped to mold from the notes and input I gave him. I definitely had a great experience working with Steven and would highly encourage anyone else that's looking for a resume and work or career change and upgrade to use his services.

Steven took the time to explore and explain options, and made suggestions that ended up helping me do my current job better.

Steven took the time to fully understand my work experience and determine how to connect it with a new direction for my career. He clearly wove together the pieces to tell my story in the resume and LinkedIn profile.

Working with Steven was a great experience. After spending a few years at one institution, I had a hard time finding my professional narrative. Steven asked many evaluative questions and really listened. The finish product was spectacular. I shared a copy with a friend who is a recruiter and she said it was one of the best looking resumes she had ever seen. I would highly recommend Steven to anyone seeking quality service in a timely fashion

My experience with Steven was flawless. What I liked most, was his realistic and honest feedback. I really liked how he portrayed my experience on the resume! I highly recommend him.

You did a great job listening to my story and creating a resume specific to my career needs. I believe I got the job because of the work I do, but also because of the resume I submitted. I jumped over one level of management into the role I applied for. This is greatness. I recommend your services and believe in the work you do. You’re a great career coach and worked wonders on my resume and helped with my LinkedIn profile. Thank you so much.

Working with Steven was a fantastic experience! He was very communicative and timely with emails. Our call was impressive - exceeded my expectations. He was easy to talk to, a very good listener and asked excellent questions. I'm in a challenging position in that I haven't worked in 3 years and I'm going through a mid-life career change. He identified important content to include on my resume that I hadn't even considered. The phone call alone was worth it! And then the actual resume....wow! It was beautiful - professional, articulate, very impressive...it painted a beautiful picture of who I am, where I've been and where I want to go...I would recommend Steven to anyone who is in the process of reinventing themselves and who needs help painting an interesting and provocative picture of who they are and why an employer should want them....

My experience with Steven was truly excellent. He asked extremely relevant questions both before and during the session, he's a great listener, and he provided answers and insights that were spot-on. His personality is such that I immediately felt comfortable sharing my challenges, as well as my career goals, with him. He seems very caring, concerned and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for just the right opportunity, as he is very adept at helping one to clarify where they really want to go next in their career.

Steven was great to work with, he was able to draw out and translate my work history into a resume that matched my goal of changing industries. I would highly recommend him and look forward to working together again in the future.

Steven is phenomenal! He not only assists with a simple resume review, but gets at the heart of what you are trying to accomplish. Using the resume as a tool to tell the story of why you will be a best fit candidate for the role you are pursuing, is some of the greatest advice I have ever received as it pertains to job search, and application strategies. My resume has now become an extension of the body of work I use, to inform future employers about not only my skills or tasks completed, but the strengths, weaknesses, and competencies, that ensure a great fit for them and me.

Highly recommended! Steven asked lots of questions that helped me think outside the box and get to the core of my strengths. He also helped me realize that while a resume is important, you shouldn’t rely on it as your only job search tool.

Steven was great to work with and helped me realize that I need to focus on my work achievements and give myself credit for my strengths.

Working with Steven was extremely beneficial for my professional and personal growth. Steven assisted me with great pointers to enhance my resume and really helped me focus on what it is I want to do professionally and how I can achieve my goals.

Working with Steven was great. He helped me reflect on my experience and how I have made a positive impact. I could tell he was motivated to understand me and asked lots of great questions that got me thinking. I appreciated how supportive he was as well as objective and straightforward. I'm very happy with the final product! I'd highly recommend him.

He did an excellent job and went above and beyond my expectations. I love my new resume!

Steven was absolutely amazing.

I am currently in the midst of a career change and working with Steven was an absolute joy! Not only did he transform my resume and Linkedin profile from lame to awesome, he provided me with motivation and a sense of reflection about what I really wanted out of my new career. He advised me on how to obtain skills in the industry I was looking to transition to and how to inject those skills into my resume. I currently work in customer service and, Im not gonna lie, I hate it! After speaking with Steven, I felt motivated more than ever to make a change. I laid out a plan to figure out where I want to go and how I'm going to get there. And thanks to Steven, my newly revised resume and profile will be the foundation to getting into my dream career. I highly recommend, folks! Thank you again, Steven!

Working with Steven on my resume was so helpful! I didn't know how to organize my resume because several of my past jobs were for brief periods of time. For our phone call, Steven asked lots of great questions that made me realize I was not including important information about my achievements. He was genuinely interested in understanding my situation and very easy to talk to. This was such a great investment in my career and I would highly recommend it.

Five star experience with Steven! During our phone call he took his time with me and asked very thought provoking questions. He actually made me realize that I was not giving myself the credit that I deserved for my accomplishments. The end result- a job-winning resume that can compete with the best of them. Thank you Steven.

The end result of a great experience with Steven was a resume I am proud to share. He had a great point of view on the end state, and after a very productive phone call & a few email sessions, I have a resume that much better serves my career ambitions. I thank Steven for his responsiveness, speed and care. Highly recommended.

Steven really kicked me into gear! He asked great questions and gave me some homework that really stepped my resume up that extra notch. He helped me to see what skills I should be highlighting, and made them front and center on my resume. Most importantly, he made me feel confident about why companies should be hiring me - a great foot to start off the job search.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Steven. He was such a pleasure to work with - he was objective, honest, very responsive. Steven helped me highlight and articulate some key skills experiences in my career that I wanted recruiters to notice, but I'd done a poor job of showcasing and explaining in my resume and LinkedIn profile. I walked with a final product that I very proud of. Steven went above and beyond. He has my highest recommendation.

Working with Steven was a wonderful experience. He went above and beyond what I expected in terms of the time he devoted to helping me improve my resume & LinkedIn content. Oddly enough, as a marketer, I find the hardest thing for me to market is myself. Steven asked great questions before, during, and after our phone consultation that really helped me recognize & quantify some of my own achievements that I would've otherwise disregarded. Throughout the process, I felt like he truly wanted to dig out all of the details he needed from me in order to create compelling content for my resume that will help me land my dream job. I look forward to sitting down and implementing all of the changes he suggested and sending out my new and improved resume. I had been toying with the idea of working with a coach to improve my resume & LinkedIn profile for a while, and I'm so glad I finally bit the bullet and did it. If you're on the fence like I was (or are already looking for a coach), I would highly recommend Steven. You won't be sorry.

Steven was an excellent coach and greatly improved my resume and LinkedIn. He took plenty of time to speak with me on the phone and ask lots of questions. He was also very available via email with any additional notes I had. I believe his strongest attribute is that he was able to draw out what was important and make you a part of it. I would 100% do this again.

Steven is an excellent Coach who genuinely showed interest in identifying my goals and helping me simplify my resume. He assisted me with understanding better techniques to organizing and tailoring my resume. He helped also identify strengths and skills I didn't think to include which only enhanced my experience/qualification level. I would definitely recommend Steven for anyone needing assistance with narrowing down a resume that is easy to read and truly identifies your qualifications. He brings out the best in you.

Steven was incredibly patient, thorough and thoughtful. His consideration of my career challenges gave me a great confidence boost and some fresh new takes on my resume and how to position myself.

Steven was very patient answering all of my questions. He helped me realize there were lots of accomplishments that I wasn't giving myself credit for. He asked lots of questions and I could tell he really wanted to understand my career story. I feel more confident and excited now that I have my new resume. Thanks Steven!

Steven was an excellent coach! He reviewed, verified and made sure my resume was speaking to the employer in a way that would make me stand out from others. He asked a lot of questions that helped him understand my skills and experience. I felt like I've known him for years, that's how comfortable he made feel. I would recommend Steven to anyone who not only needed help with a resume, but just overall guidance in their career.

Steven asked excellent questions in order to pull relevant information from me regarding past work experiences. He searched for ways to quantify my achievements, and was able to link my past experience to jobs I'm currently applying for.
