“After 3 months of working with Elissa, I landed my dream job.
Elissa helped me through the logistics of a job search, but was also there every step along the way whether it was preparing me for a big interview or helping me respond to an email. She was very vested in my job search. I was empowered to not settle and focus on finding the perfect job.”
