Brandi dove right in and gave me so many great suggestions that I could barely take them all down as she spoke. She listened well and understood my situation as a woman of color working in the nonprofit sector. I felt so much better after talking with her - she cleared the way so I saw light at the end of the tunnel!

Brandi was awesome. She was good at articulating how I could improve my resume, how to answer questions that may come in the interview process and how to target new opportunities - by using informational interviews. She was quick, to the point, and engaging.

Brandi was so knowledgeable about the higher education space in which I was interviewing! She asked me very relevant questions, and gave me three takeaway pieces of feedback that allowed me to make small changes with a high impact for my interview. She's amazing and I'd highly recommend working with her.

Brandi was incredibly helpful- she shared a number of different suggestions about how I could be more strategic as I was preparing for a 3rd round job interview. I especially appreciated the fact that she was able to share insights that were specifically related to L&D, since I was scheduled to interview with a L&D software company and I’m interested in learning more about that space in general.

Brandi was very helpful in the process of finalizing my resume before I began applying for a new job. She caught a number of small mistakes that may have caused me to be screened out by applicant tracking software or disqualified by HR when doing quick reviews of applicants.

So helpful! You are an incredibly impressive person and it reassured me that you've done a ton of interviews. I really appreciated the feedback and information I was taught. It also helped me prepare for a question I hadn't thought about. The extra information on using zoom effectively was helpful too. Everything was communicated kindly and clearly.
