“Three words: Melissa gets it. As someone who worked as a professional recruiter for two decades before formally getting certified as a career coach, she has experience that is valuable to any job seeker. She understands what employers look for when reviewing LinkedIn profiles and resumes, she can anticipate the questions that are likely to arise during the interview process, and - most importantly - she has a knack for teasing out the threads that make your experience unique so you can package and present your talents fully. And she does it with straight-talk and a sense of humor.

For all these reasons (and more!), she is my go-to referral as a career coach. I can’t think of a person who wouldn’t benefit from her services.”

“Being an advertising and marketing professional as well as an industry influencer, I thought I had a decent handle on personal branding. That said, Melissa opened my eyes to a new level of career development sophistication. When I worked with her, Melissa honed in on the critical keywords and content necessary to elevate my Linkedin rankings and cut all of the fat from my resume and cover letter. She brought a razor sharp focus to my career materials.

The results should speak for themselves - within 90 days of working with her, I received three significant job opportunities as well as new speaking engagements. #mindblown. I cannot clearly express the advantage that comes from working with her! She’s a “gamechanger” in every sense. I continue to work with her in an ongoing basis to help position myself for educational opportunities as well as widen the competency of my blog etc...and cannot foresee a future without her in my corner.”

“Melissa is a Master Jedi who has helped me learn to navigate The (Work) Force for the past 10 years. Her persistence got me that perfect job 10 years ago and she has been my career Yoda ever since. Even when I moved away from Dallas years later, she was the first one I called. This time she used her wide network of connections to get me hooked up with a recruiter in Orlando. I ended up with my absolute dream job working at Disney Headquarters.

Fast forward another couple of years and I’m back in Dallas and ready to make a huge career move. She really made me think about my must-have, nice-to-haves, and changes I needed to make to my resume and LinkedIn profile to attract my target companies. In the end, I made my way from advertising to IT and I couldn’t be happier.

I really can’t say Thank You enough for everything Melissa has done for me and my career.”
