"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's guidance was instrumental in creating a solid foundation for my job search. She has helped me develop into a strong, confident networker with a clear message and effective delivery. Her understanding of the process from a recruiter's perspective has enabled me to create the right kind of connections with the right kind of people to lead me to work that truly comes from my heart." Chris - NYC "Lora was instrumental in helping me focus my job search and message, while emphasizing the value of utilitizing my network and personal connections. Her advice allowed me to be more intentional in my search, which is essential in the current job market." Tom - Seattle "When I decided to start my job search after 12 years being an at-home mom, I turned to Lora. Lora has an incredibly positive attitude and vast network of friends in the industry. She gave me the tools and confidence I needed to start my career again." Trish - 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. Through Lora’s industry expertise and rich network I landed a new corporate job which has successfully fueled my career growth. I would not have found this opportunity nor navigated the hiring process as well as I did without her support.”
Marta - Seattle “Lora’s positive energy combined with her real-world experience and networking advice were just what I needed to get my job search on track.” Mary Kay - Seattle |
