Client Reviews

Elisa was incredible in helping me to refine my skills in creating my resume and cover letter as well as in preparing for my interview for a job that I was applying for. She shared great knowledge and techniques to ensure that my application was a success, and with her help, I was able to get the job I was so passionate about acquiring.

She is an impactful mentor, as she was very easy to get along with and evidently passionate about her role as well as my own success. She was able to make me feel confident in my ability to improve my skills, and she was patient with me as I worked on them. I am glad that I had the pleasure of working with Elisa-Marie.
