I would recommend Helen in a heartbeat. Not only did she get to know me thoroughly so as to be able to develop career suggestions personally, she was creative, and thought outside the box! She was quick to respond and also helped me regain my self confidence and help me address my terror of writing a resume (after almost 20 years of not doing one, I was at a complete loss) I couldn’t have gone through that process successfully without her!!

I got in touch with Helen almost 3 months ago, while I was at a real impasse in my working life & felt I needed a fresh set of eyes to take stock of my situation. As a relative newcomer to Canada, I was fairly unfamiliar with the job market in Ottawa & had been bouncing between jobs that were unfulfilling & that I was overqualified for. All of my previous efforts to find a position more suited to my experience & qualifications seemed to consistently hit a brick wall. Helen was invaluable in turning this around. Aside from her very useful advice on updating & improving my resume, cover letter & interview technique – what stood out mostly for me was Helen’s kindness, sincerity & enthusiasm for me to succeed. This week, I’m really happy to be starting a new job that Helen assisted me with throughout the application process. It’s a role much more in line with my qualifications & Helen’s advice & input was a massive factor in making this happen. Helen has my wholehearted recommendation for anyone seeking career advice services!
