" Before our first coaching session, I had been searching for work for over 5 months with very few callbacks. Shera's process is dynamic, creative, results-oriented, realistic, and very insightful. Shera crafted a brilliant resume and a strategic career branding plan for me- increasing my call back rate 150%.
Within 6 1/2 weeks of working with Shera, I accepted an offer for my “dream job.” . As a result, I am still with the same company, 5 years later as VP. "
