"So happy with my resume from Careers by Design. Especially after trying some other companies and dealing with slow response. Tammy wrapped everything up in just a few days. Also really enjoyed working online over video so I could save a lot of time on commuting and parking. I have a young family so it’s not possible to spend hours in traffic lol. Great job..." Read more

"I’m a past client at Careers by Design and I don’t normally write reviews. A friend told me about their resume writer services and I was just about to change jobs so back I went. Glad that I did as writing about myself is not my thing. I had to go through some edits and revisions but very pleased with the final product and the top-notch response and service...." Read more

"I could probably write pages on the great experience I had working with Eileen Chadnick. To keep it brief I will just say that I did not give her an easy time when we first started working together - the key here is to understand that this is work, there is no easy way through it, she is there to coach you but you still need to do the work. The sooner yo..." Read more

"Before coaching, I felt very confused about what my next career was going to look like. I knew I wanted to make a change but wasn’t sure how to go about to do that. Coaching provides live feedback, analysis and years of expertise. You can read books but you can’t get any feedback or analysis of any exercises you’re doing. Now I feel armed with information..."
