TESTIMONIAL

Jeimy Mercera

I booked a 60 minute call with Rich because I’m working pivoting from being a Medical Technologist to Laboratory Automation Engineer and needed some advice/feedback. I can 100% say that I’m very happy with my decision to book his service!!! He took his time and went step by step through everything on my resume, highlighted what was good, what needed some tweaking and gave me advice on how to word experience that I already have so that it can be transferable to Lab Automation. He asked me a lot of questions (without being condescending) in order to understand what I have been doing for the past 14 years and to my delight, I discovered that I have way more experience that I give myself credit for. If I could give him a rating it would be 5-STARS, recommend!!!

Maneuvering through the science industry has presented many challenges throughout my career. Stemming from college, it felt as if my hardships in accumulating my degree did not do my career justice. I have observed many fluctuations in grasping the appropriate experience needed to flourish within this field. After gaining much needed experience in my portfolio, I then found myself in a stagnant space. At this point in my career, I felt as though I boxed myself in. During my time in consulting with Rich, I became enlightened in the numerous options available to me that I was completely unaware of. Rich helped me to explore the different avenues possible just from dissecting my resume. He helped me to adjust my resume to become more proficient in the display of all of my accomplishments
