My Motto
I help you strategically break job search rules and turn “thanks for applying” into a high-value offer.
Why you should choose Dia
"I retained Personal Touch Career Services for my recent job search, both for resume writing and 1:1 coaching, after a few weeks of trying it on my own. I am so thankful that I did. My coach, Dia Kline, was able to help me create a resume that immediately got noticed. Her 1:1 coaching helped me to create a strategy and action plan for my search that immediately improved my results."

"PTCS was fantastic. Dia did a great job with my resume while thoroughly explaining every choice along the way. I admit, I wasn't sure how much of a difference a resume writer would make, but I am extremely impressed. Dia was quick to respond, and the whole process was easy from start to finish. I began seeing results in my job search immediately and ended up securing a new position 3 weeks after I got my final draft of my resume. I cannot recommend PTCS enough."

Fun Fact
Dia was born without a sense of smell, a disability called congenital anosmia.
As a global disability advocate and congenital anosmia awareness champion, she advocates for a community most people didn't know existed until she started speaking, proving that the stories nobody expects to hear are often the ones that matter most. It also makes her the only person in the room who genuinely doesn't mind if someone microwaves fish in the office kitchen.
