Working with Parkes Career Services was a truly positive experience. I appreciated their personalized approach, taking the time to understand my unique experiences and career goals. They created a resume that highlighted my strengths in a way I hadn’t thought possible. The professionalism and quick turnaround were impressive, and the process gave me the confidence to pursue opportunities I was hesitant about before. Thanks to their expert support, I now feel more prepared and motivated to take the next steps in my career.

I had the pleasure of working with N. Lisa Parkes and the Parkes Career Services team, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service and expertise I received! From the very beginning, Lisa took the time to understand my career goals, experiences, and aspirations. She crafted a resume that not only highlighted my skills but also made me stand out in a competitive job market. The LinkedIn profile optimization was an absolute game-changer — I saw a noticeable increase in profile views and connection requests almost immediately! The cover letter was equally exceptional, perfectly tailored to the positions I was applying for. What truly sets Parkes Career Services apart is the exceptional customer service. Lisa’s personalized approach, her attention to detail, and her ongoing support through the entire process made me feel confident and prepared. She didn’t just create a resume for me — she helped me build a personal brand that resonated with potential employers. Thanks to Parkes Career Services, I’m now more confident than ever in my job search and landed multiple interview opportunities in just a few weeks. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to elevate their career materials or optimize their LinkedIn profile. Thank you, Lisa and the Parkes team, for your outstanding work! - Nicky B.
