TLDR: I accepted a new offer at Capital One. The time I spent with Wilma gave me the confidence I…read moreneeded to know I would nail the interview process. Details: I highly recommend Wilma if you are prepping for job interviews and feeling nervous, discouraged or any of the other feelings that come along with the search for a new job. I was a few months into my job search. I was getting quick responses from several companies just based on my resume which was encouraging. I'd talk to the recruiter and they'd quickly pass me onto the next stage (interviews with the lead or team). I always felt they went well but didn't materialize into an offer. I had an opportunity at Capital One that I really wanted to nail so I called on Wilma who was referred to me by my husbands business networking group. When I knew Wilma and I were going to be spending an hour drilling mock interview questions, I was very nervous. But it was anything but. Shes incredibly thoughtful and direct, while also building up my confidence. She also provided a sheet of interview Qs to ask beyond the typical "why do you like working here". I asked everyone I spoke with the culture Q she shared -- "whose leadership style in the organization inspires you and why" -- and EVERY single person paused to say "that's a great question" before giving me very different responses which made me feel good about the company to hear great things about very different people at Capital One. I will keep your information on hand for the future and would be happy to recommend your services to anyone I know!

Thank you so much to Wilma and Life Working for guiding me through such a big transition in my…read morelife. As a teacher for the past 12 years with many (what I thought to be) niche skills, I did not think I had many options for a new career. With the help of career assessments and coaching services, Wilma helped me figure out the value of my transferable skills. Wilma's personality, confidence, and humor are contagious. I believe that without her, I would not have gotten the first job for which I applied and interviewed. She was so understanding and supportive of me from the very beginning. I had to pause my career search so that I could focus on my mental health while working at my previous job, and Wilma was very patient with me. She maintained the same high level of understanding, support, and patience as I navigated taking career assessments, job searching, coaching, resume/cover letter writing, networking, interview preparation, and negotiation. Wilma made herself available to me, she listened to me, and provided me with great advice and insights. She was open, honest, and judgment-free. She is a breath of fresh air, and I was truly impressed with her and her company from start to finish. I highly recommend investing in yourself and hiring Life Working to help you at such an important time in your life. You will learn so much about yourself along the way! Thank you, Wilma, and thank you, Life Working!

If you are looking for a nanny, you should contact Bella Nanny as part of your search. I…read morepersonally worked with Yolanda and from my first conversation with her I felt I was in good hands. She is very sweet and informative, and wanted to make sure she understood all the details of the questionnaire I submitted. I was also working with another agency at the time (double dipping I guess) because I wanted to make I was finding the best nanny in the Chicago area. The other agency sent more nannies, and they sent me profiles right away. However, I felt like it was a lot to sift through especially since I didn't feel many of them were a good fit for me and my daughter. The ones I interviewed were just "ok." Bella Nanny sent me two nanny profiles a week after I spoke to Yolanda. I was impressed with both of them for different reasons. Week 2, Yolanda sent me another profile, and I scheduled interviews with all three. It was a hard decision to make, but I ultimately hired one of the three and she has been with us for almost a year. We have a strong relationship, and she is truly part of the family now. Bella Nanny didn't just get nanny profiles over to me to show they had people. They sent people they knew would be a good fit. While the entire process took about 3 weeks, being patient and not wasting time meeting with the wrong people saved me frustration, and a bad decision. Yolanda really listens and really understood what I needed from my nanny regarding experience, and family values. I highly recommend checking them out.
