Sarah, Finance Director
After 15 years working with my current company, I was jumping back into the job market and wasn't sure how to start getting my resume ready. I hired Amanda to help revamp my resume and she did a fantastic job! Within a month, I had interviewed with over 10 companies, and received 2 job offers. I accepted one, and will be starting on the next leg of my career just 2 months after I started the job search process. I have to say, even I was surprised at the speed with which this happened. I heartily recommend Amanda without any reservation!
Amyn, Disaster Management Professional
Amanda is very detailed and patient listener to the needs of the client. She helped me re-model the profile and have a future-build approach to my existing profile that has created a bridge in contributing to various industries. I highly recommend professionals to view Amanda as a The Career Coach to millennials and shaping the future of generations to come.

Karin, Healthcare Operations Leader
Amanda and I connected at a time when my confidence was not in a great place. My resume was not getting any bites and I saw her posts in Linked In and reached out. The process was easy and forced me to reimagine my resume and Linked In profile. Once this was done I applied for a position, interviewed and got the position. A year later a recruiter found my LinkedIn profile and now I am starting a new job. If you are stuck, work with Amanda!
My name is Amanda, former Talent Aquisition Professional turned Career Advancement Strategist and Certified Professional Resume Writer.
​
Since 2010, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of individuals like you accelerate their job search through expert resume writing and career coaching.
​
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life. I understand that career challenges often extend beyond the professional realm—they can be deeply personal, too. I’ve supported individuals navigating life transitions such as divorce, layoffs after many years with the same employer, preparing for their children’s college education, and even those working to rebuild their lives after incarceration or overcoming substance abuse.
​
My life's purpose is to land jobs that provide fulfillment, fuel purpose and provide financial stability.
