Since working with Melissa I have gained self-confidence. She never judged my honest answers and she was sincere about trying to help me land a job.

Supply Chain Leader
I had not worked on a resume or thought about job searching in over 15 years so it was a pretty daunting experience to begin. The only hesitation I had was if I was ready to receive the services or if I should have done more work up front. I’m happy that I started when…
Managing Director
What I liked best about working with Melissa was her candid feedback and myriad of tools.

The biggest result I’ve noticed after partnering with Melissa is feeling like I have a direction I want to move in. Before we started I had no idea what I wanted or how to get it. I also was struggling to get my resume and cover letters in order. I now feel more confident when…
Tracy Johnson
In the beginning I felt hesitant about networking and getting in contact with people. I had always worked with recruiters before so I felt a little outside my comfort zone. However, after having a few conversations with a couple like-minded people in my network I think I am really coming around to idea of being…
Kris Neely
Melissa means business! She brings a ‘no nonsense’ approach, like you’d expect from a New Yorker, and it was exactly what I needed. Melissa’s originality in approaching interview questions and thank you notes – highlighting my skills or an interviewer’s viewpoint on the issue — made me stand apart from other candidates to land my…
