“I met Ellen Steverson in 2017 when the College of Charleston hired her to provide resume and LinkedIn training to the MBA cohort. I consulted with Ellen to provide resume writing and coaching, including the important networking event elevator pitch since I was an entrepreneur, executive, and an engineer now earning my MBA I needed to be able to communicate my career background concisely.
During my 25+ career, I used several resume writers. No one ever came close to the quality and overall performance of Ellen Steverson. She has mastered the balance of understanding one’s career history and desired trajectory then rolling all of this up into an eye-catching concise resume that tells a story employers want to read.
While working with recruiters, everyone has commented on the high quality resume I present. More importantly, the entire set of services Ellen has provided me over the years from resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, interview coaching, career coaching, to salary negotiations, has generated results for me every time.
Today’s recruiters are overwhelmed by the volume of job seekers. Getting the resume to stand out with the right content and presentation is paramount, followed by focused and readiness for the interview. Ellen coached with me on more than 100 questions spanning the gamut of behavioral and experiential areas, including the tough questions. I found myself fully prepared for every opportunity of the process – from networking, to multiple phone screenings, and in-person, as well as all-day interviews.
I recommend Ellen Steverson’s resume writing and coaching services to anyone looking to advance their career, actively pursuing employment, or looking to elevate their online and in-person professional networking presence.”
JL, Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
“I just wanted to express my gratitude and commend you for the amazing work you did in helping me with my career search.
Your professional advice and expertise were extremely insightful and very helpful in establishing my brand. You made me see who I am professionally as opposed to what I do, and then you were able to capture that on my resume so I can present it to future employers and be able to speak to it.
The professional services you provide go far beyond “resume writing” and providing a cover letter. This was not a fee for services but rather an investment in myself — that all professionals need to make at least once. Your coaching and advice were invaluable.
Please feel free to use me as a reference as I would be glad to attest to the top-notch professional services you provide.“
TH, Executive Director, Nonprofit
“I am very excited about this new opportunity! The feedback I received on my resume was fantastic, and I want to thank you for all of your help. I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know.“
HG, Business Development Executive
“I hope this finds you well. I wanted to let you know I found a new job and started yesterday. I am working remote so I have the option to move anywhere I wish. It is an opportunity of a lifetime. It’s a big jump in title and great chance to make more money and progress professionally. Thank you so much for your sage advice through this process. Also, you saved me from making a mistake by getting my another Master’s degree full-time.
I am now VP of Business Development.
Thank you for the part you played in helping me to realize my professional goals and assisting me with getting out of a rather toxic work environment.”
