Virgina was not only detailed oriented but she was creative and informative. There were items that I didn’t think of that she was able to pull out and include as a result of her initial interview with me. She was patient and she went above and beyond to provide quality work that exceeded my expectations.

Sherene LeVert

I used Virginia’s resume writing services with the LinkedIn add-on. The quality of the resume is great.

At the time, I needed to create a much more polished resume to reflect my marketing leadership as well as change the focus from just listing accomplishments to selling my abilities. Virginia conducted a very thorough interview with me, learning about my background and my skills, and worked collaboratively with me to construct a resume that had the right themes and messages.

Since I began using the resume she created for me, I’ve receive many inquiries which closely match the opportunities I am seeking. I would recommend her services

Ashley M.

After having gone to graduate school and cultivated a professional career in the U.S.A. over 17 years, I returned to Ontario earlier this year. When it came time to update my resume, I quickly realized I needed the assistance of a professional resume professional to face the challenges of re-entering the GTA market.

Having changed careers with graduate school, I found myself faced with the challenges of having no relevant professional history in this community, no connections in my field, and a diverse and rich career to reduce to two pages. I desperately needed someone who could work with me to synthesize my career experience, skills and strengths to create a powerful resume that would overcome the considerable barriers I faced in re-entering this dynamic market. And, then came Virginia!

Bottom line, I applied to my “dream position” first, received an email within hours from the owner, another email later in the day, interviewed with three employees days later and was offered a part-time position until the full-time position begins early 2014! Yes, I have amazing training, experience and skills. And, Virginia created for me an amazingly impactful and all-encompassing resume truly expressive of my abilities and of the promise of what I can offer to an potential employer. I cannot recommend Virginia’s services highly enough!

Jo-Anne Beggs, RSW

Virginia did an absolutely excellent job in summarizing my values, highlighted my strengths and created a strong branding message for me. Working tirelessly to deliver the best end product that represents me as a professional her work was impressive. I am deeply grateful to Virginia for sharing her knowledge, insights and deep understanding of the marketplace. Your expertise and a professionalism in resume writing is indeed a work of art, thank you.

Mike Murrell

I have used Virginia’s professional services on three separate occasions as my career and education has progressed. Virginia has a natural born talent for extracting an individual’s work experience and relating it in written form in a way that WOW’s prospective employers. In the latest use of Virginia’s services she also updated my LinkedIn profile. I can tell you that each time I have used her professional services I have obtained new employment within 30 days.

If you are looking for a professional resume writer or career coach I highly recommend Virginia. The lifetime return for the monetary investment you will make utilizing her services is immeasurable.

Christopher ‘Topher’ Adams, MSOL, CSP, TSC

Virginia did a phenomenal job restructuring and editing my resume! She managed to, not only, highlight my strengths, values and core compencies, but capture my strong work ethic – only having met me for an hour or so! She was very friendly, helpful and gave me some very useful pointers and set me in the right direction. I can’t thank her enough for the assistance.

Kerri Galbraith

Virginia is a branding expert! After rebranding my resume and cover letter, I could not stop my phone from ringing with offers. From small business to the biggest corporations in Canada, and in between, I had to make some big decisions on my career and I give total credit to Virginia who made this possible in a ridiculous quick turnaround time. I highly recommend her. Without a doubt, the best in Canada! Hands down.

Virginia’s attention to detail is exceptional when it comes to constructing resumes and revising LinkedIn profiles.

Virginia is a very detail-oriented professional. She took her time to inquire about my experiences to construct a resume that would suit the role I was looking for (Business Analyst). I got a job as a Business Systems Analyst by using my newly revised resume within a week that I’ve submitted it. Thank you for the great work in a short time!

Suganthan Mahalingam

Virginia does amazing work. She is detail-oriented, a branding expert and an efficient professional. She pays close attention to what you say during your consultation and captures the essence of your strengths, skills and personality when delivering the end product. She took my blah, run-of-the-mill resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile, and turned them into dynamic working tools. I can honestly say I am applying to jobs with newfound confidence thanks to Virginia.

Maria Luisi

Virginia is a true expert in her field and it was a great pleasure having her work on my resume. Although I had an existing document which I thought needed slight tweaking but when given the task to Virginia, she literally created a master piece out of it.
She would listen carefully during first interaction, collecting all the detail and asking very meaningful questions. Her turn around time is very good as well and within a few days, my document was with me all set to go.
The best think about Virginia is the way she organizes the document in a very crisp and concise manner. Her selection of words is truly eye catching and would surely attract a hiring manager’s attention. The way she arranged my complex project descriptions really assured me that she is equally capable in writing a resume for any field.
I am highly satisfied working with Virginia and would recommend her to anyone looking for their good document to be converted into a great one.

Muhammad Waqas, PMP

I cannot say enough positive things about Virginia’s work. I have switched jobs, and career paths a number of times over the past 7 years and been successful- due in large part to Virginia’s assistance.

Her ability to construct your resume that has that WOW factor is unparalleled. Virginia’s laser focus on your skills and your goals, creates a recipe for (in my opinion) an award winning resume. She is detail and action oriented and knows which skills and attributes to highlight to get your prospective employer’s attention. Another one of her strongest assets is to bring out the skills that you maybe thought were not that important, or in my case did not realize how much experience you had.

I have recommended her to many co-workers, friends and family so often over the past years and all of them have nothing but excellent experiences. When I recently finished my second Master’s degree I gave her information to all of my classmates, as her resumes and advisement are such a strong foundation for job searches and eventually a career.

There is not a recommendation strong enough for Virginia in her business- connect with her, it will set you up for success no matter where your path is taking you.

Liz Grigg

It’s rare that you come across someone as talented as Virginia. I have had the pleasure of consulting with Virginia several times over the years as I undertook a new job search. What impresses me the most is Virginia’s ability to “bring to life” your professional experience and accomplishments in a way that stands out in the digital age. I would and have recommended Virginia to many colleagues and they have had the same result. Virginia would be an asset to any professional seeking to build his or her brand.

Harry Pietz

Truly enjoyed working with Virginia. Very organized and focused on getting everything she needed to produce and amazing resume and cover letter for me. Creative, diligent and friendly. Amazed by her ability to put on paper everything I wanted employers to know about me, my career and my dedication to the youth of my community. Excellent choice to reach out to Virginia! I have passed on her qualifications to other friends and colleagues looking for a great resume. Thank you Virginia!!

Marie Terese DeLuca

Virginia has been *EXCELLENT* at creating and updating my resume. I like her method of “interviewing” you about your work history to create an accurate representation of you and your skill set. Virginia is the first person I think of when I need to have it updated and the first person I *highly* recommend to friends and family when they ask if I know of anyone.

Henry Allen III

I had the privilege of working with Virginia when I needed to update and create a professional resume. She conducted a thorough interview with me about my career path and past experience. This allowed her to create an amazing resume for me that I am very proud of. I absolutely recommend her for resume writing and cover letters.

Mimi H.

Virginia is very professional. She knows what’s she is doing. Her work is great and can be recommended.

Garry Lozano.

Virginia came highly recommended by a good friend of mine, who had nothing but the highest of praises for her. For me, “word of mouth” goes a long way, so I decided to hire Virginia. At this stage in my career, I knew I wanted to enlist the help of a professional to update my resume and my professional profile.

Virginia has done an excellent job of strategically highlighting my skills and experience, balancing what I wanted to convey in my resume, with her professional opinion of what my resume should look like. Since becoming one of her clients, I’ve been contacted by several great recruitment agencies and companies; this has allowed me the flexibility to be selective with where I wanted to land.

Needless to say, I’m extremely happy with the work Virginia has done for me, and the work she continues to do for me. Her professionalism, expertise and advice has truly been invaluable. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Virginia for anyone who is actively seeking guidance in updating their resume, professional profile or online presence via social media for business development.

Crystal Jade Mitchell

Virginia was able to transform my resumé to highlight my experience, education, and skills in a clear, concise way. My resumé, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile now reflect my professionalism. I highly recommend her.

Amelia Eck.

Virginia was able to transform my college level resumé to a more professional resumé. She did this by playing up my educational experience’s along with my basic job experience. She took the time to speak over the phone with me and understand more about me and what I was looking for in my first step into the post college business world. This update allowed me to secure my first professional job. She recently took my new experiences and helped me build a new updated resumé so I can continue with my career progression. For anyone looking to bolster and improve their resumé, cover letter and LinkedIn should reach out to Virginia.
