As a guest speaker, Alex brought her extensive expertise and enthusiasm into my classroom. She provided the latest, relevant information available on the job market and shared tips on a successful job search during a recession.  My students agreed she was a very valuable resource and asked that I invite her to come back for further lectures.  I believe she took some of the fear out of the job search process for a group of students who will soon be graduating.

Alex’s command of the ever-changing job market was key to the invaluable advice she gave me. She guided me though a resume overhaul that was the starting point for things to come. Ultimately, she put me at ease as she successfully delivered the results I was looking for.

Mike, VP Sales & Marketing

Alex really understands the job market. Her insightful tips and advice reduced what is typically a 3-4 month search process at my level to around 1 month – and that is in a very tough economy. Effective guidance with quick results. Thanks, Alex

When applying to schools, grades and standardized tests are important. When applying for reach schools a strong essay is paramount.  With Alex’s help my dream school was suddenly within reach.

My resume has served me really well in the past and I had asked Alex to help me with updates. The update turned into a revision and I am very happy with the result! Alex’s ideas and targeted feedback fit my unique situation. I am excited to start trying out my new and improved resume!”

The information was new and helpful. Not the same ideas heard from career services and other teachers.

I am very experienced at reviewing other people’s resumes.But when I needed help presenting my own qualifications, I found that most people were unable to identify areas for improvement in my resume, much less suggest the actual changes that were needed. Alex was the only person who was able to offer the kind of constructive, honest feedback I needed to take my resume to the next level.

Alex will help you concisely explain who you are as a person and a professional and frame your future goals with direction and integrity. Together you will create a product (resume and essays) that you look to for inspiration in the future.  This work will make you confident throughout the admissions process.

I asked Alex to help me with my resume. Although I know how to write a resume, it ended up being three pages long and I just couldn’t figure out how to reduce it. She met with me several times, and step by step, showed me how to only keep the bullets I needed to quantify my abilities and highlight them. She also has a creative side and was able to come up with more interesting lines than the typical sentences found in a resume book. All in all, the resume looks great and I’m very happy with the final product. Best of all, she’s efficient. I would definitely recommend her help to anyone looking for fast, quality, professional work.

Finance Manager

Three years ago, while an auditor and consultant, I began to consider my MBA options and looked to Alex for guidance along the way. Her primary goal was to make sure that I would succeed. With a combination of her corporate experience, writing skills and some tough love, she worked hard with me, editing my resume, focusing my application essays and supporting me through the very rigorous and competitive MBA process. As a result, I am currently a second year student at an Ivy League MBA program, on a full tuition scholarship, and working hard at a dream internship opportunity that presented itself early in my process, even in this economy. Clients value Alex’s knowledge, patience and genuine passion for helping others pursue their dreams.
