If you implement what she tells you to do, you will absolutely see results. I am currently making a career change from one industry, and back to another. I'd been applying for jobs for a couple of months and before I'd reached out to Yolanda, I was not hearing much back from employers. I was getting very frustrated. I paid for a phone call with Yolanda and she suggested some very constructive revisions to my resume. Not only that, but she explained WHY those revisions needed to be made. And she made suggestions on HOW to write things in a way an employer would take notice. Y'all, I'm not even kidding.. a week after I'd made those changes and started using the newly revised resume, I had multiple responses to applications. It's been about a month now and I can't even tell you how many interviews I've been on now. Just this week I've already had 2 interviews and I have 2 more scheduled!! In my opinion Yolanda was the single most valuable asset I've utilized in my job search. I know the services Yolanda provided me with are a big part in my inbox and phone exploding with interview invitations. Seriously, if you are struggling with finding a job, hire Yolanda right now. Do exactly what she tells you to do. Listen, I'm on the other side of the country, and she knocked it out of the park for me. I honestly wish I could give Yolanda 100 stars for this review.

Normally, I prefer to write stellar Yelp reviews but I cannot recommend this service in good faith…read more My husband suggested I have my resume revised with Yolanda and after 2 months of waiting I've received a "template" and a rude email that cost $175. If you have time to waste and would like a condescending "career coach" then engage her services. In a very competitive job market we rely on coaches for their industry knowledge and guidance. I'm now seeking additional resume services and career coaching as I've been chastised for questioning her expertise with my resume edits. By all means, just pay LinkedIn for a resume review this service is a waste of time.

Simply the best! I reached out to YES career coaching…read morebecause I was feeling stuck and ready for a change in my work. My resume was OK, but I wanted to put my best foot forward. The team did a fantastic job on rewriting my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. I ended up applying to a handful of jobs and got an interview immediately. What ended up happening though is that during the resume rewriting process, I developed this newfound confidence in my work that I never had before and I was going to go after what I wanted to do. I started to network with people that I knew in my area at different companies and ended up with an opportunity that was a perfect fit for me. Since I was a referral, the management team was not too focused on my resume but I ended up getting the job! I am thrilled to start this next chapter of my career and I have to thank YES career coaching for guiding me to see the light I had inside of me so that I can show up and be the best version of myself. Highly recommend!!

My 30 min consultation with Katherine was really helpful! I learned formatting tips and ways to beef up my resume by adding a header, summary, and core competencies and creating sectional dividers. She recommended outcome-based bullet points that highlight the benefits and quantify the results rather than a laundry list of tasks. Katherine was friendly and thorough and even had enough time to quickly proofread my hubby's resume. It was really nice to get an extra set of eyes! While the $299 starter package seems a bit pricey, it's a good deal considering that you are equipped with the A team of an interviewer, drafter, and editor. They will rewrite your resume and can fine tune and belt out those bullet points. While my resume could use a few tweaks, the starter package is a great option if you're looking for a resume overhaul without doing all the guess work. I found the resume consultation surprisingly useful. Would highly recommend it and consider the packages!

Though I did not end my CCC journey with a job offer in hand, I felt much more positive about myself, my career journey, and my ultimate destination as a result of the program. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in this coaching program. It truly arrived in my life at the perfect time. I am currently in a new role (it's my 6th week) that successfully combines all of my prior experience and that gives me a chance to continue to make a difference.

Until you give yourself a chance, you don't know where that line is. It's a complete 180 from where my mental and emotional state was before. It's been fantastic.

I felt like she listened to my concerns and gave me constructive suggestions regarding my resume. It was hard to fit all my experience in a concise document but we did it.

I reviewed a lot of other firms before selecting her, but I knew from her website she would give me the individual attention I wanted.

I was in the same government job for almost 8 years and feeling extremely stuck. I knew I needed to make a change and after a friend referred me to me,and I decided to reach out to Argus Academy for a consultation. It turned out to be one of the best career decisions I've ever made. From the first conversation, August made me feel comfortable and supported. He took the time to really understand my goals and concerns, and then developed a personalized plan to help me achieve them. He walked me through everything from hidden gems around networking, resume upgrades, interview support to negotiations. I learned that I had an incredible amount of experience and value, but I was unaware of how to navigate the rigorous job market potholes, and how to get my foot in the door of my top companies strategically. I literally called him after every interview (3 rounds) and he was right there for me to advise and guide me on next steps. Ended up getting a 30k bump + stock options and bonuses, which I am so incredibly grateful for to have both gotten out of that role and into a well-respected firm with a MUCH better culture. I can't recommend August and his talents highly enough. I truly don't think I would be where I am today without his incredible support and expertise around networking and succeeding in this difficult job economy we're in right now. THANK YOU, AUGUST!!
