My 30 min consultation with Katherine was really helpful! I learned formatting tips and ways to beef up my resume by adding a header, summary, and core competencies and creating sectional dividers. She recommended outcome-based bullet points that highlight the benefits and quantify the results rather than a laundry list of tasks. Katherine was friendly and thorough and even had enough time to quickly proofread my hubby's resume. It was really nice to get an extra set of eyes! While the $299 starter package seems a bit pricey, it's a good deal considering that you are equipped with the A team of an interviewer, drafter, and editor. They will rewrite your resume and can fine tune and belt out those bullet points. While my resume could use a few tweaks, the starter package is a great option if you're looking for a resume overhaul without doing all the guess work. I found the resume consultation surprisingly useful. Would highly recommend it and consider the packages!

A colleague recommended Traverse to me. She told me that her career coach had rewritten her résumé…read moreand cover letters, prepped her for interviews and helped her to quickly transition from a very unhealthy office atmosphere into her new position. Since I am in a similar situation, I contacted the coach ASAP and, long story short, I spent $75 for her to tell me something that I already knew.. that I'm "creative". In our initial (free) conversation, I expressed that I've done as much as I can do developing my own career and that I needed assistance translating the tasks and duties I've performed at my dead-end job into something marketable to put on my résumé. I also mentioned how much I HATE networking (so many bad experiences. We swap business cards and it starts off as "business" but ends up with an awkward and unwanted "proposition". Ick!) and that I was still reeling from a job interview that went exceptionally poorly. The coach, Ellen, mentioned that she had a background in HR, so I thought she'd be perfect to assist me in all of these areas. I was wrong. In our first (and last) paid session, I reminded her that résumé rewrites were important to me. She told me that "résumés are not really important", and spent the next hour trying to talk about anything but that. I felt that she was not in tune with, and did not consider, my needs as the client (even though I clearly expressed them in the form of a 10-page "All About Me" document that she asked me to write for our paid session). I came in with the expectation that she would consider my concerns, hear my reservations and difficulties and respond with both compassion and reassurance, as well as a plan. I was expecting to hear something like, " Ok.... I see that your résumé is important to you, but I want you to know that that is not the only tool you have working for you, so I'll tell you what. Since you're the client and you are paying for these services, we will address your résumé issues first. After that, we'll start working on finding networking avenues that are more comfortable for you and in the following session, we'll start working on your elevator pitch... I know it's not your favorite thing to do, but we're going to work on it together and I'm going to help you come up with something great!" Had I heard anything close to that, I would have signed up right away. Instead she spent much of the session telling me that I was "putting up walls" if I expressed uncertainty about some of her methods or disagreed with observations she made. Much of what she did recommend to me I have already done, and instead of saying, "Ok, let's talk about how we can capitalize on your efforts and take them to the next level", I felt like I was being criticized for taking my time and choosing to make careful decisions; as if I hadn't been working fast enough for her or something. Even though she insisted she wasn't doing so, I felt like I was being judged the whole time: like the efforts I've been making on my own weren't good enough (which was the whole reason I reached out to her in the first place!). One thing an effective coach does is reassure players and help them to recognize their potential. Instead of reassured and empowered, I left that session feeling frustrated and annoyed. From the questions and comments she provided, it was evident that she did not have a clear understanding of what I needed. At one point, I had to stop her and ask "Did you understand what I meant when I said ...." I was dismayed that she did not ask enough questions to clarify, but instead tried to march forward with her own plans without a clear understanding of what I needed. It's one thing not to listen to me; it's another thing entirely to pay to be ignored. It goes without saying, I do not recommend these services to anyone.

I was a stay-at-home mom for 4 years and decided to put my career on hold as a nurse to be with my…read morekids. Once my kids were in school, I wanted to get back to work part-time, and I reached out to Ellen Dunagan at Traverse Career Solutions for help. Ellen helped me evaluate my professional and personal goals including what part-time meant for me, and how to maintain my work life balance. Once that was clear, I updated my resume with Ellen's help and targeted potential hospitals in the DC metro area to figure out who needed my skills and where I would be a good fit. Based on this approach I quickly landed an interview in a top hospital. In order to be best prepared Ellen suggested that I ask for the names of everyone I was interviewing with so I could do my research and feel more confident connecting with them. It helped me have more of a conversation with my interviewers and feel less stressed. Ellen also conducted mock interviews with me which was incredibly valuable having not interviewed for many years. I was thrilled to get an offer from my first choice hospital following my interview, although the offer was to work within a department that was not the best fit for my career growth. I almost declined the position but Ellen coached me on taking a different approach since I had successfully gotten an offer, connected with several employees, and I really liked the hospital. Instead of declining, I called the Hiring Manager and asked if it was possible to take the part-time position with the hospital, but work for a different department. Lucky for me they felt I was both a great fit and valuable - and I have been working at this top hospital now, part-time, for almost a year - happily! Ellen was both incredibly professional and supportive throughout this entire process and I am so thankful to her! I can't recommend Ellen enough!!!

If you implement what she tells you to do, you will absolutely see results. I am currently making a career change from one industry, and back to another. I'd been applying for jobs for a couple of months and before I'd reached out to Yolanda, I was not hearing much back from employers. I was getting very frustrated. I paid for a phone call with Yolanda and she suggested some very constructive revisions to my resume. Not only that, but she explained WHY those revisions needed to be made. And she made suggestions on HOW to write things in a way an employer would take notice. Y'all, I'm not even kidding.. a week after I'd made those changes and started using the newly revised resume, I had multiple responses to applications. It's been about a month now and I can't even tell you how many interviews I've been on now. Just this week I've already had 2 interviews and I have 2 more scheduled!! In my opinion Yolanda was the single most valuable asset I've utilized in my job search. I know the services Yolanda provided me with are a big part in my inbox and phone exploding with interview invitations. Seriously, if you are struggling with finding a job, hire Yolanda right now. Do exactly what she tells you to do. Listen, I'm on the other side of the country, and she knocked it out of the park for me. I honestly wish I could give Yolanda 100 stars for this review.
