Project details

As a recruiter and certified HR manager with more than 7 years of experience, I have reviewed thousands of resumes and have conducted hundreds of interviews. I've also written hundreds of resumes! This experience allows me to provide a unique perspective in advising clients on career paths, how to excel in an interview, how to negotiate salary or respond to a job offer, and more!

I will review your resume in advance and come to the meeting prepared to answer your questions and provide recommendations. After the meeting, I will send you a summary of our discussion with my recommendations of concrete actions that you can take that are unique to your situation.

Don't just take my word for it! My top-rated status on Upwork has been earned through many 5-star reviews, which I encourage you to read.

I look forward to working with you!

Val's perspective is invaluable to all professionals looking for a new position. I had the opportunity to work with Val and learn how to fine tune my job searching strategy as well as what changes to prioritize. For anyone who might be looking for a new job, I recommend talking to Val to see how you might appear to a recruiter and to dispel any uncertainties you have with the job searching process. It was definitely reassuring to get feedback from the recruiting side of things especially with the current market.
