“I thought my resume was decent before I received Ricci's service. In hindsight, I cannot believe how much room for improvement there actually was. Ricci helped me identify which activities and achievements in my resume were understated and overstated. More importantly, she was willing to speak for hours over the phone to learn about me and decide how best to relate my experiences in the most impactful way. She didn't simply make corrections; she walked me though potential corrections so I could learn as we progressed. The result was a perfectly formatted resume which conveyed exactly what I wanted. I look back on my original resume and laugh. My friends have read it and are amazed at how well it conveys who I am as a person. If you are serious about landing any particular job, there's no reason not to use this service.”

“The breadth of knowledge and experience in the financial services recruiting arena that Ricci brings along is immense.  Without a second thought, Ricci went the extra mile to guide me throughout the whole process of resume-building and improvement. The assistance Ricci provided is exactly what I needed in terms of producing a high-quality and polished resume.  Since we began discussing my resume Ricci's guidance was crucial in paving the final product.  Her feedback advised me as to how to go about improving my resume: she not only helped me restructure my entire resume into a much more concise form but she extricated relevant information from me about my experiences and aided me in expressing and emphasizing my important abilities by rewording my entire resume.   Given her experience as a recruiter, Ricci has great insight into what companies are looking for which makes her an asset for anyone who needs top-notch, comprehensive guidance on their resume and in their job search.  My resume wouldn't be close to what it is now it if weren't for her.”

 “When I began writing my resume, I didn't comprehend that recruiters for top corporations look through hundreds of resumes and pick a few that really stand out. Luken Advisors did two things for me. One, they helped me understand what recruiters were looking for in candidates. And two, they helped me understand how I could convey my most marketable qualities to these recruiters. I think most students have done some impressive things in their lives. Luken Advisors helps tease these details out and convey them in a professional manner.”
