Rita was very helpful to me. She gave me some great tips and tricks to implement in my interview. She didn’t hesitate to make herself available to me immediately after our initial meeting. I will continue to utilize her expertise in the future.

The project was to find a professional resume writer who could create a resume and cover letter for a retiree with 25+ years of experience to apply for an administrative part-time position. I believe the comments below speak for themselves. First reaction, "WOW. I really wasn't too optimistic that she would be able to take what I provided her and craft it in such a way to get so much information into 1 page. Of course my expectation was an improvement over what I provided, but she really took it to another level; I was amazed! To have someone who truly understands ... respects my feelings is absolutely priceless. I guess the best way I can say this, is the professionalism, sincerity and genuine commitment to my project is something we all as consumers wish we could experience with any company we do business with! Well done!" Thank you so much for a job Well done!

Going into taking this course I didn't know exactly what to expect, but soon found out how amazing public speaking can be. Rita has allowed me to unlock my full potential and understand my strengths and weaknesses. She has been helpful in every way imaginable and continues to impress me. She always comes with good vibes and positive energy, so even if you are not feeling well that day she is sure to pump you right up. One of the best qualities about her is that she will always go the extra yard to help you succeed such as always being flexible when changing meeting dates or even when I need to reach her through text, she always has an instant reply. I would also like to add that I have had other training in the category of public speaking and it doesn't compare at all to the work I have accomplished here. What's great about Rita is she allows you to feel comfortable with your speaking and improve it in your own custom way. Overall if you need public speaking skills or interested in this category I would highly suggest Rita over any online course or instructor.

Recently, I hired Rita to help me become skilled and comfortable during the interview process as well as in other public speaking experiences. Her knowledge and expertise has begun to teach me effective techniques that I not only have applied during the interview process but in other paths of my life. I look forward to continuing our sessions.
