-Patricia Gillespie, Senior Law Clerk

“I had left my job of 16 years and was completely out of date with resumes and even applying for a job outside of the industry I had been in for so long. Lidia really took the time to go through my goals, my talents, strengths, things I didn’t want to do, and just helped sort through what I was looking for.

Lidia wrote in a style that understood me and my goals, and helped me display my many years of experience, schooling, and certificates appropriately. Having a solid resume gave me so much confidence and I feel that confidence came through in my interviews. Also the tips and feedback she gave were wonderful and helpful!

I could not believe how many places contacted me for an interview after Lidia wrote my resume! I went from sending resumes/ no calls to getting calls from the jobs I really wanted and accepting one within a month!

Best money I have ever spent and really made this very emotional process so much easier."
