Uncertainty to confidence. "As I started my career, I was unsure if the jobs I had in high school and college were worthwhile experiences to put on my resumé. By exploring my experiences in detail and through Jane's creative process, we were able to construct a resumé that was professional and made me proud. Jane showed patience and understanding, a lot of caring, and treated me as a professional."

Better prepared than my friends. "Jane really took the time to get to know me, what I needed to succeed and what I wanted for my future. She helped me through every situation from writing my resumé and cover letter to phone and in-person interviews to the work life and what I should expect in the industry. I knew I was better prepared than my peers. The best part: I was never treated as a student. It was as if we were colleagues sharing experiences and insights."

A long-term view. "Jane helped me bring out my strengths and showed me how to turn my high school and college work experience into an asset for any employer. She reworked my college career service resumé and showed me how to write one that was unique to me. She's a good listener, fully understands what direction you want to take your career in, and helps you focus to get your first job and the one that is 5 years down the road."

Perfect timing. "Working with Jane was so much better than having to go through my college counseling office. No red tape. No long wait. My questions were answered quickly and honestly. My last-minute questions were answered in no time, which really helped to ease my anxiety. I knew she cared about helping me realize my goals. The day I received my diploma, I got the job offer I was hoping for!"

Just 3 interviews. "I tell my friends that I have this resumé and interview genius. She makes you feel comfortable, gets your creative juices flowing, and you have fun. Jane worked with me from resumé to interview preparation, and I got the job I wanted in just 3 interviews."

Experience that is relevant. "I played baseball all through high school and then on through college, and never had summer jobs to include on a resumé. I was unsure how that would play with employers. Jane worked with me to translate my experience on the pitching mound to the work place in a way that really intrigued employers. I have used her model ever since and now, when I am hiring, I have a way of evaluating candidates."

Personality that shines through. "Jane taught me the power of letting my personality shine through. I was prepared and confident, and it really showed in all my interviews. She helped me get started in my career."

Tools to succeed. "I was feeling like the job market was just nothing but closed doors and a maze of databases. After working with Jane, I feel more confident than ever in what I bring to a company. I now have the tools I need to succeed, renewed self-confidence, a great resumé, and some killer interview advice and answers. I turned a part-time position into the job I wanted."

My strength. "I was really nervous about interviewing. My friends had stories about the hard questions they were asked and we had no idea how to answer them. Jane really listened to me and coached me on how to answer the toughest questions. I had a manager say that my answer to what is my weakness was the best he ever heard."
Wesley S. Attended Indiana University.
Embracing Failure. "The most valuable lesson I learned was being able to talk about adversity in a way that shows strength. With Jane's guidance I know how to talk about the value I offer."
Robin C. Attended Adler School of Psychology.
Getting Ready. "Campus recruiting was starting and I wasn't ready. Jane worked with my sister, and my parents connected us. I had a resumé, an interview guide and a way of talking about myself in no time. I'm working with Jane on developing a job search strategy."
Regan S. Attended Queens University, Canada.
