"Lora was a lifesaver at a critical point in my career. She helped restore my confidence by giving me concrete tools to network and move forward towards the next position. She has refined excellent strategies for utilizing social media to network, and communicates succinctly what she can offer. She is flexible in scheduling as well as generous with her time. I really felt I got great value every session. What makes Lora so special, though, is how she intuitively grasps your situation and who you are. She adapts her strategies to fit your unique strengths and vulnerabilities. She has great powers of empathy as well as deep knowledge of the marketplace." Yvonne - Seattle
"Lora not only gave me concrete advice for finding my next job, she helped me rebuild my confidence and recognize how valuable my experience and talents could be in the right career. Her support during this process was invaluable - she's a straight-shootin' HR veteran who is a great listener, constructively honest, always encouraging and just plain smart. I recommend her highly to anyone wanting to jump-start their job search with a trustworthy partner and advisor." Julie - Portland
When I moved to Seattle two years ago I thought I would never find a job, let alone one that I would find fulfilling. Lora took me under her wing and told me to stop the cold resume submission madness and get real about finding a job. In a matter of a few weeks after meeting with Lora, I was meeting with the right people AND getting offers. Lora transformed my career mindset. Jen - Seattle
"I absolutely recommend plum job search strategies. I came to Lora feeling confused and frustrated as to why I was not getting interviews. She guided me step by step on how to break down my resume to make it more appealing than my competition's, directed me toward utilizing social networks to find the person behind the job posting, and supported me with encouragement and positive feedback. I credit Lora to significantly helping grow my network here in Seattle and ultimately, helping me find the perfect job!" Melissa - Seattle

“Lora has been a coach, a mentor, a cheerleader and an advisor to me providing valuable insight and guidance on the advancement of my career.
