    • How does the offer compare to salaries listed on salary boards, adjusted for the region?
    • How enthusiastic does the employer sound about you as a candidate?
    • Do your qualifications exceed some of the qualifications?

What our clients say:

“I was getting interviews from my resume, although my messaging in interviews were not getting me any offers or positive feedback. My career stories were superficial, and my preparation was not where it needed to be. You helped me effectively communicate my strength to future employers. Not only did I land a job in my new career, but also at a SENIOR level. There is no way that I would have been able to land this position without your help."
