Testimonials
"I recently applied for a manager position at a Fortune 100 company and needed to dust off a 10 year old résumé. Erin helped me with a complete overhaul of my résumé. Out of the 67 applicants, I was informed that my résumé was by far the most impressive!" -Kelly
"Erin has helped my daughter with editing her college essays. She's been flexible and prompt with feedback. To date, my daughter has received $40,000 in merit money from colleges she's applied to and been accepted to some very selective schools. If you have a high school student about to enter the crazy world of college applications, I can't recommend Erin's services enough!" - Lara
"Erin is an amazing editor! She proofed my college essay and gave me many helpful suggestions. I thank her for helping me get in to grad school!" -Jennifer
"I could not have gotten my last 2 job offers if it were not for Erin's work on my resume. As a healthcare professional wife of an Army veteran who has made many moves across the U.S. over the last decade, Erin was able to creatively spin & write me a cover letter and resume that detailed my work & helped me get hired in these two great jobs in both private practice & a non-profit organization. You can't go wrong having Erin create or review your resume. First impressions are everything!!" -Gloria
