I worked with Mary in November 2019 and she responded quickly to every inquiry. We had our first consult within a day after I initially accepted her offer. Mary had my first and final drafts done in less than a week. Prior to working with Mary I had been applying for jobs for 3 months with 1 interview. 2 weeks after working with Mary and using my new resume, I had 4 interviews. Although those positions were filled by internal candidates or postponed I felt that I was going eventually land a position. I had 8 more interviews and 6 jobs offers before accepting the right position for me. I had a lot of complements on my resume in the interviews and even had a hiring manager ask me for tips to which I directed them to Mary. Mary's prices are great and she is on top of her work. I sincerely think I would still be on the job search if I wouldn't have worked with Mary. Thanks a lot, Mary. To anyone considering a resume writer - you would be mistaken to pass up a chance to work with Mary. read more
