Hire the Best Career Counselors in Texas

I turn applications into acceptances and offers! I'm addicted to helping people achieve their goals and understand the value in branding yourself, whether for a career, for admissions, or for your business. My documents are highly professional and tailored to each client to suit their needs. I provide consistent and reliable communication and services. As a dedicated career counselor and college admissions professional I provide highly personalized career counseling and college planning services, tailored to each client's needs. While I can help in all aspects of career development and college admissions planning, I specialize in the following: - resume writing and review - federal resume writing and review - federal job search strategies and applications - college planning - selective college admissions - college admission essay collaboration/writing - application document writing and review - one-on-one career counseling As a copy editor, I value wordsmithing after I've drafted a document to ensure it has the desired affect on readers and conveys the information in a logical but creative way.

I have been a Senior Technical Recruiter working in Big Tech for the last 4 years and I am well versed in resume writing and Linkedin profile development. I am a top 15% Linkedin user, I have over 7,000 followers on Linkedin, and I place candidates at Fortune 100 clients across the US. In addition to those services, I also provide career coaching services.

I’m a tenured Executive Recruiter with 20 years of experience reviewing, interviewing, and hiring candidates across a wide range of roles and industries. I’ve screened thousands of resumes, prepped hundreds of candidates, and worked directly with hiring managers who decide who gets interviews. Before recruiting, I built my career in Big 4 and corporate finance environments. That experience gives me a practical understanding of how roles are evaluated in practice, not just how they’re described, and directly informs how I write resumes and prep interviewees with a focus on scope, complexity, and decision-making, particularly for accounting, finance, corporate, and leadership roles. I also partner with companies to attract, evaluate, and hire talent efficiently. I help businesses develop compelling job descriptions, optimize employer branding, and pre-screen candidates so you focus only on the best fits. This service is ideal for startups, small-to-medium businesses, and teams without a full recruiting function. Clients appreciate the flexibility to focus on business needs and revenue generation without taking a pause to fill critical roles. Services I offer: - Resume audits & feedback - Resume rewrites drawing on impact - Resume positioning for role changes or promotions - ATS and keyword alignment - LinkedIn profile optimization - Interview preparation - Job Description & Employer Branding - Candidate screening and shortlising Resume Writing - What I do differently: - Write from a recruiter and hiring-manager perspective, not a template - Emphasize impact, scope, and decision-making, not solely task lists - Optimize for both ATS systems and human readers - Provide honest, direct feedback on what’s working, what isn’t, and why Clients typically come to me when: - They’re getting little to no interview traction - They’re repeatedly rejected despite strong experience - They’re moving up or pivoting roles and their resume no longer fits - Their resume feels “fine,” but isn’t competitive 
If you’re unsure whether a full rewrite is needed, I recommend a resume audit. You’ll receive clear, actionable feedback on exactly what’s holding your resume back and what to tackle first. My approach is strategic, direct, and tailored. I don’t inflate titles, invent experience, or rely on buzzwords. I help you present your background the way decision-makers actually evaluate it and align with their key needs. Interview Prep: I provide tailored, consultative interview preparation focused on how hiring managers actually evaluate candidates. My approach aligns a candidate’s experience with the role’s critical challenges and desired outcomes, helping clients clearly articulate value, position their capabilities effectively, and compete as first-choice candidates. Who Interview Preparation Is For: - Professionals interviewing for accounting, finance, corporate, or leadership roles - Candidates advancing levels in their career and how to demonstrate your readiness - Individuals who want help positioning their background clearly and strategically - Professionals who want direct feedback on how they’re being evaluated - Candidates who dedicate time to research the company's history and key needs Who Interview Preparation Is Not For: - Entry-level candidates seeking general interview practice (I'm cheering you on!) - Clients looking for scripted answers or memorized responses - Candidates unwilling to receive direct, candid feedback - Situations where expectations, qualifications, or role fit are significantly misaligned If you’re unsure whether interview preparation is the right fit, I’m happy to discuss your situation and recommend the most effective next step. Employer Branding & Hiring Strategy: I partner with companies to craft compelling job descriptions, optimize employer branding, and pre-screen candidates to ensure you spend time only on top talent. This service is perfect for startups and teams without dedicated recruiting support. Services for Employers include: - Job Description writing & optimization to attract qualified candidates - Candidate Screening & Shortlisting - Resume review and initial qualification calls - Candidate ranking with summary for hiring managers Optional add-ons: - Interview scheduling - Pre-interview virtual briefings - Skills assessments or interview scorecards With this approach, hiring managers save time, reduce risk, and focus only on candidates who are truly a strong fit, while benefiting from the insights of a seasoned recruiter who knows what decision-makers look for.
