Why you should choose Becky

Thanks to her experience, certifications, and ongoing professional development, Becky is a master at leading clients and asking questions to uncover the key information hiring managers want to know.

"I am a senior analyst with over 20 years in government service, and my career was abruptly ended by a reduction in force at my department. I was not planning on looking for another job at this point in my career. Life has a way of surprising us and I had to pivot and prepare for a job search in a tight labor market.
"My CV was long and detailed, as the government requires, but it was not appropriate for private-sector applications. I had also not used Linkedln much. Becky Parr worked with me to streamline and update my complex CV into a two-page document that is sleek, succinct, and easy to digest in a few minutes of reading. It also read like it was written by a human and not with the sterile and sometimes exaggerated feel of Al. Becky explained how to incorporate exact vocabulary from job announcements into my resume for each job application to get through ATS to HR officials, and how to tailor each resume to a job posting quickly."

"Becky Parr possesses an incredible talent for crafting exceptional resumes in collaboration with her clients. When I was reentering the workforce after a sabbatical, Becky provided invaluable coaching, guiding me through my experiences and helping me recall achievements from the past decade. Her method allowed me to highlight my most important skills and accomplishments that made my resume appealing to potential employers. Out of the initial five applications, I secured two interviews, one of which I withdrew my application, and the other led to the final round. After applying to approximately five more jobs, I secured an interview for one that was the perfect fit, which led to a fantastic job offer."
