“I simply do not look for a job without consulting Vivian first. With her guidance I’ve completely changed careers and ended up in a tremendously satisfying career. Since using her as a consultant I have never been out of work for more than a few weeks… And after recommending her to several friends they have all been similarly impressed with her results!”

“A good friend recommended Vivian when I was finishing up my degree, to help me write my resume. I did well in writing, but I have a very difficult time expressing my abilities on paper to others. Vivian helped me put together an excellent resume, and I was able to find work within a few weeks. If resume writing is not your strength, I highly recommend Vivian to help you express your abilities to others!”

“After spending 26 years of naval service, I had no experience in writing resumes or how to pursue a second career. As my career coach and resume writer, Vivian helped me focus on what career I really wanted to pursue. She was impressive, knowledgeable, and energetic in catering to my professional needs. I landed a second career with Target Retail Company as an Executive Team Leader-Human Resource Manager. This is exactly the second career I desired. Vivian, I thank you!”

– DE

– GR

“I was introduced to Vivian through the TheLadders.com. I had until that time always written my own CV/Resumes. It was clear from our first correspondence that she was the expert, and that I needed help. Over the next couple of weeks she transformed my resume and cover letter, helping me to secure the interviews and ultimately the job offer that I was looking for.”

– BM

“Vivian is not simply a great resume writer, she is an expert at helping you discover what you’re really meant to do. She provides great results and a real feeling of progress in her sessions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for career coaching.”

“Vivian was an absolute pleasure to work with. I always felt I was a Jack of multiple trades and was struggling to bring clarity to my next steps career-wise. As my career coach, Vivian did an excellent job of helping me define my brand and as a result helped me better understand what I wanted to do next. She drafted an extremely impactful resume for me and coached me through the job search and interview processes. I would strongly recommend her to anyone interested in a career coach.”

– KG

“During my 30 years of leading a company I put little thought into changing my resume. After selling the business, I had a drawer full of successes and tools but no direction on how to organize them.Vivian came highly recommended from a friend who had just landed a CEO position due to Vivian’s work on his resume.

The most successful people ask questions to truly understand their client’s needs. Vivian was able to find the most important parts of my career and create a new story for both my resume and LinkedIn profile. She stays current with the always changing trends in the industry so you can be found with the right keywords, headlines and history of success.

A pleasure to work with and more so to talk to about life, I highly recommend her.”

- M.R.

“Vivian prepared my resumes before I left California for Georgia. When needing a resume update, I gave up on local sources and continued to rely of Vivian’s expertise. That reliance began during 1992 and it is still on-going. She is the best!”

- T.M.

“Vivian was an absolute pleasure to work with, she took the time to understand my background and help clarify my career goals. She did an amazing job crafting my resume, Linkedin, and finding my own personal brand that fully captured my career accomplishments and values. During each session, Vivian was collaborative, detail-oriented, and guided me in the right direction for my next career move. I was absolutely amazed by the final result, and was able to land several interviews largely due to Vivian’s help. I would highly recommend Vivian’s services to anyone in need of career help, she is a true expert at what she does!”

- S.M.

“Thank you for creating an extremely engaging profile for me. It really showcases my accomplishments in a succinct manner and I’m thrilled to be able to start using it for my future applications.”
