Testimonials

While I was working with Miriam, I sent in one of my in-process resumes to a company that looked like a great fit based on my industry background and experiences. I sent in one of the versions of the resume that we had worked on, and got a request for an interview almost immediately! Working with Miriam on my resume transformation helped to better prepare me in describing my experiences and skills to potential employers. Overall, I believe that the work we did together helped to better position me for this ideal job that I am now working at! — Lauren B.
