The best at what she does! Extremely responsive, helpful and highly professional. She has helped me immensely!

After months of job searching, and dozens of resumes sent, I was not happy with my success rate of getting interviews. I didn't know what was wrong with my resume! Surely it wasn't the experience, I've had great experience. A friend suggested I try working with Kris, a career coach who would be able to help me with my resume. I thought, why not, I must be doing something wrong here. We met at a coffee shop after I had sent her my current resume. In the most polite way, she ripped it apart. She clearly outlined the steps needed to fix my resume, and gave me a quote then and there. I was sold! Even though she admitted to never working on a resume in my profession before (audio production), she was all in. We set up successive phone meetings to talk about my resume. She is really concerned about getting the resume to read like "my story." She took the time to understand the 'audio lingo' necessary for my resume. Not after long I had a completely rewritten resume that was polished, concise and 1,000 times better than I could have written. I've always found it hard to write about my accomplishments. The way it is written now is spectacular! After the success of a well written resume, I had her take a go on my LinkedIn profile. It was sparse, poorly written, and I felt it didn't represent me. She didn't just re-write my resume, she tailored it for social media. With both my LinkedIn profile updated and resume, I feel much more confident searching for jobs. To summarize Kris: professional, honest, great business ethics, great writer! When I land the next interview, I will definitely be utilizing her services to prep for it. Thanks Kris! read more

I was looking for a career change and after a few months of applying and interviews with no results, decided to invest in a Career Counselor. I selected Kris after interviewing a few other potential counselors. I picked her because she was upbeat, positive and authentic and had the know how and experience I needed. She is extremely responsive via email and phone and we spent three hours on a Saturday night prepping for an interview. And I got the job! For that I am eternally grateful! Her expertise and advice was spot on and helped me land the job I wanted. I highly recommend her. read more

My old resume wasn't working. Kris redid it, simplified it, and made it sound like me. Once I started using her version of my resume, I received multiple invites for interviews. Kris also showed me how to prepare for the interviews. Because of it, I was able to approach my interviews with confidence. She was fun to work with and helped me stay true to who I am through the whole process. read more

I'm assuming if you're on yelp looking at KBD coaching, you're probably hoping to find a new job. I was nervously here myself not too long ago. Writing a resume can feel like an incredibly daunting experience, especially if your current job (or not being employed) has you feeling so demoralized. It's difficult remembering accomplishments and accolades when mentally, you're at a low point. Simply finding the motivation to take the first step towards finding a new job is hard. I was so relieved when a friend referred me to Kris. From our very first phone appointment, I instantly felt less frantic due to Kris's obvious knowledge, patience, and professionalism. She gave me some simple homework (create a list of employers, dates, titles, etc) and soon after she had built my entire resume from scratch. The process was so easy and the result was fantastic. My resume was beautifully written, formatted, and a perfect representation of myself as an individual and employee. I can happily report I found a new (and better) job soon after working with Kris! Some months later, after securing a new job I decided to tackle the next hurdle; getting into graduate school (MFT program). I not only needed a personal statement, but an educational resume that could set me apart from a slew of other applicants. Our process was similar to creating a professional resume and needless to say the result was once again fantastic. She edited my personal statement and really encouraged me to write from the heart. She also had me totally prepared for the interview. When I say totally prepared I mean TOTALLY prepared. There wasn't a single question asked that Kris hadn't posed to me earlier over a breakfast meeting. Beforehand, she had emailed me an extensive list of questions that would probably be asked during the interview. We sat and went over each question and she gave me feedback on my answers. Most importantly, she also helped me put a positive spin on some of my not-so-perfect transcripts; something that was definitely brought up in the admissions interview! A week later I had my interview and a week after that I received my formal acceptance letter. I could not have done it without her!! read more

Hey All, I was seeking some assistance with resume writing. My resume was good but I wanted a professional opinion and finishing touches on it as well as some insight to how recruiters operate. Kris was more than helpful and patient throughout the process. She restructured and reworded my resume and explained why she made subtle changes. The reasoning behind her choices made a lot of sense after she explained them. I'm extremely pleased with the finished product as well as confident in my future job hunt. Kris is the real deal and if you're serious about finding a job, she's a must. -T read more

I was nervous about spending money on having my resume entirely revamped. However, for my birthday in May I decided to do it. Looking for a resume writer was task unto itself but I eventually found Kris. She was thorough and thoughtful in our virtual meetings. She was kind and a great partner, she really cared. The resume she produced was beyond my hopes and expectations and all I have to say is don't wait! By July I was offered and accepted a great role that is right in my wheel house. I credit Kris! Thank you!!! read more

I initially engaged Kris to help me get my resume in order. Having used another service in the past I was initially skeptical, however after my first interaction with her my skepticism was erased. Kris is a true professional who understands how recruiters in the Bay Area think. Through a series of interviews she produced a strong resume that I am proud to present. I enjoyed working with her so much that I hired her to assist me with updating my LinkedIn profile. I am not actively searching for employment, but if I do I will definitely not hesitate to contact Kris to assist me through the interview process and the first 90 days. I highly recommend Kris' services. read more

Kris' coaching vastly improved my resume, my job search strategy, and my interviewing skills, ultimately leading to a job offer I was really excited about. Kris is not only knowledgable, but a pleasure to work with- very cheerful and straightforward. Kris went out of her way to speak with me last minute while I was struggling to choose between to offers. I highly recommend her service to recent grads entering the work force (as I was) or anyone looking to refine their job search strategies and materials. read more

Kris is a consummate professional, well attuned to the evolving dynamics of the Bay Area employment market. Kris combines a strong technical acumen with a terrific business sense. She is the subject matter expert with writing resume's and preparing for your next career. She listens and provides honest feedback. I would highly recommend Kris! read more

Kris was fantastic working with my son who just recently graduated from college in engineering. She helped him completely rework his resume so that it was concise and on-point. Then she helped him with job searching and cover letter writing, tailoring each one to the specific company. Then for interviews, she ran him through mock interviews asking him questions that he might get and coaching him on how to answer them. Even after my son got a contract position with a big company, she continued to coach him on how to convert that job to a full-time position. That company has now offered him a full-time position and he started this week. I would recommend Kris to any early career individual that is trying to tackle the job market for the first time. She is the best. read more
