Testimonials

  • Kimone Murray

    Cindy has not only been my career coach but a mentor as well. I became her client while finishing up graduate school and had no sense of direction as it pertains to my degree/career. Thanks to Cindy, I was able to figure out the initial steps on navigating my career path and overcoming many obstacles and I am currently working for an organization which is directly in my field. Not only did Cindy help me to look good on paper, by helping me with my resume, job applications and so on, but also she instilled in me a sense of confidence that I carry with me which has already opened many doors. Cindy always found the time to assist me, whether it be face-to-face or virtually, no matter what she was doing which proves even more her dedication to her clients. I am grateful for Cindy and all that she has done for me and know that she will continue to guide others into the direction they are supposed to be in.

The past few weeks have been stressful for all of us, but Cindy remained steadfast in respecting the timeline that she laid out at the beginning. After our call where she asked me very pertinent questions about my career aspirations, she was able to encourage me to showcase my accompishments in addition to my duties and responsibilities for each position. Overall, this process was extremely helpful and I would highly recommend Cindy to anyone looking to improve their resumes and professional online profiles
