I decided to reach out to Alexis to help me with my recent job search. While I felt like I had the right experience and skill set for the roles I was applying for, I found that my resume wasn’t cutting through and I was struggling to even get initial phone interviews. Where Alexis excels is in providing very specific, actionable feedback on your resume, LinkedIn profile, and how to reach out to hiring managers. She was very direct with her feedback on my resume, and helped me focus on a format and content that best showcased my achievements and experience. There is no big “secret sauce” or “hack” to what Alexis does. She is precise, analytical, and honest. She highlights what she would be looking for as a hiring manager, compares your resume to some example job listings, and really helps you prioritize how to present yourself in the best possible light. After working through a couple of revisions of my resume, I felt so much more confident in speaking to my story. Being able to point to specific, tangible examples allowed me to frame my answers to questions and share my expertise. I also found that the more specific my resume got, the more specific the questions I received were. This is such a difference maker in interviews, as it gives you the opportunity to consistently talk about your experience on your terms. My updated resume and LinkedIn profile were instrumental in me getting to late stage interviews with two stellar companies, and eventually accepting an offer for a perfect new role. I’m extremely grateful for Alexis’s guidance and would recommend working with her unreservedly.

After months of being unemployed after a layoff, I had started to feel hopeless, helpless, and angry that my best efforts were getting me nowhere. Alexis and I discussed what I had tried so far: jobs I was targeting, interviews I had landed, and the feedback I had gotten. She asked some great questions that helped give me a new perspective on my search. Together, we revamped my resume as well as my targeting strategy and my personal branding approach, and I came away feeling optimistic instead of frustrated. I highly recommend her expertise for any professionals who feel their efforts are not gaining enough traction and who need a strategic partner to help get things moving again.

Alexis has a gift, calling you might say to connect people for success in their next role. I was struggling with what I wanted my next role to be after a recent layoff. I had some warm opportunities and pending offers and quite frankly was willing to settle on salary. She gave me the advice I needed to hear and the strategies to negotiate a fair and worthy position and base salary that I wouldn't have executed without her guidance and expertise. She didn't stop there - she also introduced me to a connection that ended in a job! She simply put, snapped me out of the foggy place I was in and brought the sparkle back. We all need that person in our corner guiding us to our greatness. Alexis is that person!

Alexis is incredible! I find the application process very stressful, and Alexis did a fantastic job walking me through it. She empathized with my struggle and provided invaluable insight into employer actions. She helped me differentiate between reasonable and unreasonable responses from hiring teams. Her LinkedIn reach helped me find four referrals. Alexis also provided kind and direct feedback on my resume and prospective employer emails. Instead of sugar-coating weaknesses, she identified where I had room for improvement and provided guidance on improving myself. I recommend her!

Alexis was super helpful during our LinkedIn profile review session. She was able to give me a fresh perspective and make suggestions to optimize my profile for my job search.

Alexis is the type of person who will go to bat for you while telling you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear. She has a knack for hearing your story and opening your eyes up to a tool bank of mindset shifts. I would highly recommend working with Alexis through her consulting, strategy, and practical application she truly has a gift in connecting the dots with folks.
