I relocated to the US last Christmas and had to start my job search from scratch in a completely new market. Finding Brian was a turning point. After he helped me update my resume, everything changed. Throughout March, I was getting messages from a new recruiter almost every day, from companies like LinkedIn, TikTok, Walmart, and more. I even had the confidence to reach out directly to a technical manager at a top fintech company and made a great impression. The results speak for themselves. I received offers from both JPMorgan Chase and Cognizant, and I'm still in the final stages with another exciting company (five out of six rounds done). Brian has a real gift for helping you present yourself in the best light. I've already referred my friend to him, and I'm so grateful for everything. If you're thinking about it, just do it. You won't regret it.

I got in contact with Agnes again to have a professional edit my MBA application essays. I cannot…read morerecommend Agnes enough. I have never been a strong writer, and while I had an idea of what I wanted to write about, I was not satisfied with the way in which I had written my essays. Agnes was able to help me convey my ideas in a more compelling manner. Furthermore, Agnes was able to provide advice on what would resonate more with the admissions officers and help me refine my ideas. I was extremely busy in the months leading up to the application deadlines, but Agnes' quick turnaround time allowed me to edit each essay enough times and until I was happy with all of them. After sending an essay back to Agnes for revision, she replied with a date by which she was able to edit my essay by, allowing me to plan ahead. In the end, I was admitted to Harvard Business School, Columbia Business School, and Kellogg School of Management. I strongly recommend Agnes to anyone who needs help with their essays.

My son is a high school senior. Agnes did a one-on-one call with me and answered questions via…read moreemail and then did a one-on-one call with my son. Agnes worked with my son on everything from application strategy, timing, resume, essay edits and strategy. She spent time every week catching up with my son and was a true partner. He showed me some of the multiple edits she worked with him. She helped him narrow down his reach/ possible / safety choices (and some new ones) and worked with him on an Early Decision 2 and his regular decisions. My son is smart but has poor organizational skills and timing was never his strong suit. Agnes was great in keeping him on track and making sure he was progressing on time. He and I were happy that he got all his essays done and applications out. My son got into his first choice via ED2 so we were thrilled (unfortunately we had already spent money on regular decision applications but all is good). Would recommend Agnes for any parent looking for a partner for this child.

My family joined UC Eazy / Upward Path in the summer of 2022 when my son was a sophomore. We were…read morepaired with a wonderful counselor, established a steady meeting cadence, and felt confident in the early guidance around majors and future direction. Right before my son's senior year, we learned that our counselor was leaving and we would be reassigned. From that point on, the experience became inconsistent and stressful. With the new counselor, few colleges were recommended, there was no meaningful progress on identifying academic interests or majors, and tasks like resumes and essays were discussed but never initiated. We found ourselves taking over major parts of the process, including researching colleges, managing the Common App, and trying to understand the UC Application timeline on our own. Important elements such as financial aid strategy, the CSS Profile, FAFSA timing, and college list strategy were unclear. Communication was intermittent, meeting notes weren't provided, and despite being told we were "on schedule," we frequently felt confused, rushed, and unprepared--especially when urgent requests from the high school counselor surfaced. My son also felt a lack of partnership with the new counselor compared to the strong relationship he had earlier. By application season, we felt uncertain and overwhelmed. My son applied to several universities, some aligned with his interests and others not as clearly, and the overall process felt rushed and more difficult than it needed to be. Today, my son is a sophomore at UC Riverside majoring in psychology and has recently submitted transfer applications to other UC campuses that better fit his goals. When Upward Path asked for feedback, I shared my concerns. To their credit, they listened and offered complimentary support for my son's transfer applications. This gesture was genuinely appreciated and helped him feel more confident in his essays. In summary, our experience began strong but became turbulent after the counselor change. Although we appreciated the effort to make things right at the end, the overall journey was more stressful and uncertain than we expected.

Michelle has a variety of resume templates that are customized based on your experiences and type of job you are looking for. She reformatted my resume to make it easier to read. It made a HUGE difference & more recruiters started reaching out to me. As I started getting interviews, Michelle helped me simplify my answers so they are more understandable for non-tech people. When I ran into obstacles, Michelle taught me to maintain a positive mindset & remain patient with the process. Rejection is re-direction!! Amid the ongoing pandemic, I started my first job in the corporate world at home. This wasn't the ideal situation but Michelle tried to make my transition as smooth as possible. She is a great listener and always validates my thoughts. Other people I've spoken to about my work problems always gives me generic advice. But Michelle truly understands what I'm going through and gives me advice based my situation. She constantly reminds to be less harsh on myself & take things one step at a time :)
