As I was…read moretransitioning into a new industry, her guidance, encouragement, and genuine belief in my potential gave me the confidence to move forward. I also had the pleasure of additionally working with Jeanne, who created an outstanding resume and LinkedIn profile that truly showcased my strengths. Thanks to their support, I landed a new job. I'm incredibly grateful and highly recommend the Life Working team.

The Life Working team has been so valuable to me. I have an MBA from a great school, so I was…read morehesitant to pay for these services. After all, wasn't I taught all this stuff at my program? Well, yes, but not nearly as well as these professionals who have been in the business for much longer. They rewrote my resume in a way I never could have (I tried). But the most helpful part of the package was the interview prep session. I couldn't believe how well Wilma captured my experience and gave me the words to use that fit the role perfectly, without exaggerating. This service is worth the money. It will help you land a good job. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. You invest in yourself, and you reap the rewards.

When I first met Judi, I was out of luck when looking for a new job and had very little confidence…read moredue to constant rejection. I was stuck working for my father's business with no one believing that I could transition from there to someplace more advanced. Once she and I worked together, we polished my resume and focused on presentation, situational and task-based questioning, and brevity in answers in order to make me a better candidate. She even helped and motivated me to turn my life around through mentorship and guidance that would not only help me in interview settings but with people whom I truly care about. Through our focus and dedication, I landed my first big job as an Email Marketing Specialist and am thankful for her help. Judi is an exceptional career advisor who helps you excel in your life and professional environment. With her, you mature into a better employment prospect and person to others, and if I were to seek employment with someone else in the future I would always choose her.

I found Ms. Lansky to be flexible and to be able to give me feedback on a variety of issues important to me such as interview strategy. I'd have to say that I found her flexibility most helpful, personally.

Joanna is unlike any interview coach I have had before, the approach she has to her clients was…read moresomething to admire, and I looked and researched a few interview coaches before I decided to go with Negotiation Geek. Joanna has experience working HR in a Fortune 500 company, offers great advice, and she puts forth the most solid effort I have ever seen from a career coach in getting to know her clients' needs before a session is established. This isn't a cookie cutter coaching session, I was very impressed when she helped me prep for an interview for a Fortune 500 company, she reached out to her network who worked for the company to give me advice on the hiring process, taught me how to search for clues in the job posting, and asked me some very tough questions in our mock interview session. As a result of her game planning and the preparation skills it left me, I was well prepared for the interview, and it wasn't nearly as hard as my mock interview with Negotiation Geek. I would recommend Joanna again and again to anyone who needs to prepare for an interview, and her salary negotiation skills are top notch and have helped me establish a better salary for the jobs I have been interviewing for. Joanna is awesome, and she even followed up with me after the interview to see how it went! Joanna is an amazing coach and I trust her because she's put in the work in corporate America HR and she truly cares about her clients' success. Go with Negotiation Geek and you will not be disappointed!

I would like to highly recommend Joanna for her extraordinary Coaching and Executive Leadership…read moreskills! I first met Joanna as a colleague at World Fuel Services. We both worked under the Human Resources - Talent Development business function and not only did I get to know Joanna on a business level, but on a personal level as well! I have been so privileged to have such a great friend and mentor to whom I can resort to for coaching, guidance, and advice :) Furthermore, she demonstrates exemplar entrepreneurial, motivational, and inspiring attributes. She is a thought leader and successful business woman!! She will listen carefully to your concerns and goals, will work with you to create a development plan, and will challenge you to see it through!!! I'll take Joanna on my team any day!!

Mary and her team are incredible resume writers. Their professionalism and attention to detail is…read moretop-notch. This is my second time working with her, so she had a solid foundation to begin with. I had such tremendous success with hiring managers after using Your Signature Resume the first time that it was truly a no-brainer to utilize her services again despite only needing to add one more job to my work history. Her team's outstanding work awarded me 100% of the job opportunities I applied for after my last experience, so needing to apply elsewhere is certainly not due to her efforts. I have several friends who have utilized other resume writing services and their results are nowhere near Mary and her team's capabilities. For example, an old colleague and friend of mine totally copied my resume after already paying another resume writing service.. He still thanks me today for sharing mine and allowing him to do that. With that said, I would recommend anyone who's serious about advancing their career to utilize a resume service, and I would absolutely 100% recommend Mary and the Your Signature Resume team as they are superior to all other resume writers in the industry based on my experience as well as peers who have utilized other services.

I knew in this day and age that I needed a professionally-designed/written resume. Now that we're…read morefinished, I had no idea just how much I needed that!! After reviewing my stale/outdated resume, writer Mark S made an appointment to spend an hour on the phone interviewing me. A couple days later, he sent an extensive questionnaire based on that interview. Really made me think, and made me think about things I'd never considered or forgot about. I'm nearing a relatively young-aged retirement from a 30+ year career (hoping to find something more part-time and that I can do from home). What Mark captured for that resume is amazing, modern, and focuses on my more recent accomplishments. Not just where I worked and what I did on a day-to-day basis, but the quantified accomplishments (Italics on "accomplishments"). Just amazing. Worth every penny.

I had considered using resume services in the past, but was hesitant to pull the trigger because…read moreresume writing seems like it should be intuitive, and I've had success in years past. After doing some more research, quality seems to vary across resume writers, and prices are all over the place. I filled out the form on Steve's site for a free evaluation of my current resume. Unlike other sites where you might get an automated response or critique, he actually called me. Our first conversation was pretty funny. Steve gave me some advice that was half actionable. In other words, I understood what he said, but I also realized very quickly that what he was suggesting wasn't something I could easily do myself. Still hesitant, we talked a little more, and we ended the conversation with my taking a weekend to mull it over. I was torn. A new job easily covers the expense and resume writing is something I appreciate now as definitely not intuitive. I went ahead and the whole process took less than a week. The final product left me pretty floored. My interview with Rob was incredibly easy - he listened to stories I have told over drinks, and translated them into bullets that I never would have written but were remarkably accurate and poignant. He asked questions to keep me talking, and after a first pass, we went back and forth once on minor points. My new resume has achieved a 600% increase in number of responses. I have since had to customize it a few times because recruiters were first hooked and needed "a little more of [this]." The real results have tremendously boosted my confidence, and there is no question in my mind that a professionally written resume is worthwhile. Steve is a tremendous resource, and I couldn't be happier to have worked with him and Rob.

Sheila Nielsen came to me highly recommended by two co-workers. One sought her out while still in…read morelaw school and considering dropping out of the program. Sheila helped her sort through what she liked and didn't like, gave her suggestions on paths that would best suither, and this girl is now a superstar at work. If only I had been lucky enough to have that guidance during school! The other was a lawyer who left the practice to get a masters in education. These two examples, plus their rave reviews of her skills, led me to believe that the cost of seeking career counseling from Sheila would be one of the best investments I would ever make- she clearly wasn't prejudiced one way or the other on keeping her clients in practice of law! Having practiced law for quite some time, she's obviously very familiar with the ups and downs Her work centers around attorneys and helping them find the best career path, either within the law or outside of it. She offers more than career counseling- including what I would probably describe as training for the often socially incompetent people who fall into this profession (I know just as many painfully awkward lawyers as I do smooth talkers). But since my experience with her has been with counseling alone, I'll limit my review to that She is incredibly thorough in getting you to open up about what you do and don't like, both about your job and in other areas of your life (talking about your hobbies and interests as well). You work through exercises that essentially give you a chance to describe your ideal work and life. She identifies trends in what you say that you probably don't pick up on, or perhaps actively try to ignore (guilty as charged). She has given me suggestions that I would never have thought up for myself, and insights about myself that I would have tried to not pay attention to if I was not forced to view them up close. (many of which mean I'm a terrible fit for my current position- well not shocking but at least nice to know I'm not imagining it!). The bonus that I would think makes her counseling different from general career counselors is her legal experience- she knows what is out there and has practiced in a few different areas of the law. Now my law school didn't really encourage nontraditional paths- pretty much the only career support you got was the push towards big firms) so her knowledge in this respect is invaluable to me. I wouldn't have the first clue of how to find something different. Perhaps most importantly to me, she provides an objective outside opinion- even if you know deep down that you're on the wrong path and all you need is to hear it confirmed out loud, this can make a big difference. For me, it has been extremely hard to deal with the expectations of the people around me, making it almost impossible to productively bounce ideas off of anyone. It seems like when you're in the position of facing decisions, everyone's got an opinion, and everyone's opinion is different (not to mention based on their own notions of what would be good, not really yours!) I'm still in the middle of my work with her and will have to come back and update this accordingly as I finish up, but for any others in my position, I truly think its worth the time and financial investment

Through her career fulfillment program I was able to identify my interests and passions and ultimately, I was able to choose the career path that is right for me.
