We repositioned her story, highlighted her impact, and helped her move into a role with a major compensation increase.
Working with Don was wonderful. He was easy to talk to and really helped me think through my work experiences, focusing on outcomes. He then crafted my resume to include metrics and detail that shows real impact, not just job responsibilities. I do feel that this resume helped me get more interviews and when the stories for your interviews are already baked into your resume, you have more confidence going in. I was able to land a job with a significant bump in salary and I give the credit to Don for helping me put together such an impressive resume and LinkedIn profile. I'd recommend area Talent to anyone looking for guidance during the job search process. You also get access to a wide array of additional resources on how to narrow your job search, prep for interviews, negotiate salary and more.
Don is excellent at what he does. I received several interview requests and two job offers within a month of submitting the resume and cover letter drafted by Don. 10/10 and worth every penny.
