Where Our Clients Have Landed
Our Client Reviews
Excellent turnaround time, Margo worked over the weekend to send an initial draft. Margo also completed the resume with a new updated design relevant for my industry and current/future career position. She worked effectively with me to deliver stats and statements to improve the resume with easy input spots to insert relevant data and information. She also worked on several drafts to incorporate new and revised information, all while maintaining a tight turnaround time. Excellent work Margo! I would recommend Margo to any new or existing client. Well done! On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being “excellent”, would rate the final resume for both content and design a 10.
— Todd A., CFO - Healthcare Executive
Margo developed a more aesthetically engaging resume, which resulted in more impactful accomplishments. I would not change anything about the process or the outcome. Margo was highly responsive and with rapid turnaround, although I was slower than I should have been in giving feedback.
— Edward C., Interim CFO
"Margo was a pleasure to work with! I was transitioning from the military and needed two resumes targeted to different communities. She did an excellent job translating my military skills into terms that corporate America understands. She turned around the latest version soon after I gave her feedback and continued working with me until it was perfect. I needed to rush the second resume, and she made it happen in less than 24 hours! There is a lot to be said about Margo's excellent resumes, cover letters, and thank you letters, but what made my experience so great was the time she put into helping me. Not only did she exceed my expectations, but she also answered many professional questions I had about the job-seeking process. I have recommended Margo to all transitioning service members I know. Thank you!"
— Mary M., Signals Intelligence Analyst
Thank you, Margo, it has been an absolute great experience working with you! You took away all my stress and anxiety about having a professional resume. I'm looking forward to the job search ahead with my new resume in hand.
— Lauren W., Elementary School Teacher
Margo’s attention to detail is great; you can tell that she truly cares about the final product. She did everything that I asked. Margo often made great suggestions and took the time to explain them. It would have helped if I had known how critical dates/titles/metrics were going to be. I feel like I kept Margo waiting for me quite a lot. I am sure this would not be as much of an issue with most of her clients; my situation was somewhat different because I had not updated my resume in more than 10 years. On a scale of 10 to 10 (with “10” being “excellent”), I give it a score of 10. I am very pleased with the final product. Margo is extremely responsive to making changes and turning things around. She would often have suggestions changed within minutes. That was not expected, but it does speak to her dedication.
— Shane W., VP Imaging and Operations
Margo was knowledgeable about what would make my resume stand out and was very timely in her responses, both by email and by phone. Would not make any changes – she was wonderful! On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being “excellent”, I would rate the final resume for both content and design a 5.
— Tiana N., Project Management
