And they're very nice! They also have a food pantry with fresh produce, emergency assistance for utilities and a volunteer dental clinic. It's been a blessing to me. I encourage you to check it out!

I have signed up for the FREE classes (i.e. LinkedIn, Job Skills, etc). I'm very appreciative of the staff, information provided, follow up & much more. They have given me items from their food pantry and just in awe of their goodness! It is a place well worth looking into and donating to once you are in a place to do so. I plan to.

JOB HUNT CHALLENGING? IT'S PROBABLY NOT YOU-YOUR PRESENTATION LIKELY IS NOT ACCURATELY CONVEYING…read moreYOU. Which is what a group of us learned in a presentation by JUDI ADAMS, OWNER OF RIGHT CHANGES. Notes below on Judi's group presentation to a large job networking group. I found Judi to be the first career advisor to, rather than tell you to restructure your resume to their idea, instead constructively direct a pro-active self-representation. I highly recommend Judi for group presentations or individual sessions. Or refer to her book, Found A Job Yet? Or see blog site: RightChangesJobSearchCoach.blogspot.com. I incorporated what I learned in her presentation, and booked an hour in which she further refined ME. Rather than more hodgepodge of the same thing in every other great resume, there's now a reason to hire ME over the other equally qualified candidates. Most importantly, to the employer and those of us interviewing, is the clarity gained about how I/YOU can impact the organization. To that point, employers should hire her also. MY THANK YOU NOTE TO THE NETWORK ORGANIZERS: Judi's presentation yesterday was especially helpful and extremely timely. I wish I had been present for her last presentation. She took us right to our discomfort zone and made us, not told us to do later, exercise our noodles to identify crucially important information specific to us. I am about to begin incorporating my "findings" into my resume, cover letter and other materials, as well as following up with her offer to email and request a couple of templates. Her slide showing an employer holding a box in front of three job candidates segued to drive home the importance of the exercise. She asked us, "The box holds a job, why should this be given to you versus the other two people?" Of course our brains are saying because... And those answers were all the reasons she's just made us put onto paper, and made us learn to say concisely. Everyone had to be as relieved as me that they had been done! For those of you who were not in the presentation, that's just one of twelve major takeaways from Judi's presentation to us. Lastly, we were reminded that each of us deserves to be hired. A point you all kindly remind us weekly. She made us drill down to those reasons, then reminded us that we are worthy. As I begin incorporating her ideas, which she made our ideas, I feel very rejuvenated to my individuality translating into offerings to my impending job.

There are not enough words to describe how fantastic Wanda's services are. I first hired Wanda to…read morehelp me with my resume and LinkedIn profile and wow what difference those improvements were. I could not have created the value-add resume that she created for me. I remember in one interview the hiring manager thanked me for the format of my resume, I confessed that I had hired a professional because I knew I could not take credit. After about 6 months with my shiny new resume and securing many interviews, I noticed I was getting passed over for jobs that I was highly qualified for. That is when I had to realize that it wasn't them, it was me and I needed help. That is when I remembered that Wanda also offers coaching Services. She prepped me for the interviews and helped me negotiate the salary that I wanted. With Wanda's help, not only did I get the job that I really wanted but I also secured the salary that I wanted as well. Do yourself a favor, make the investment, you will thank yourself later.

After careful research I reached out to Wanda for assistance with my resume and Linked In. She responded right away to my request and arranged time for us to chat. In our conversation I remember feeling like it was all about me and what I wanted to do. She then took my thoughts and goals and tailored my summary to attract the type of position I wanted. She was able to effectively articulate my skills and expertise in a way that is highly engaging. I strongly recommend working with Wanda to tell your story.
