LinkedIn Review, October 5, 2020: "I was one of many attending a presentation on LinkedIn. Helen gave a very rounded explanation of LinkedIn and the capabilities it had to showcase our work skills, and explained the strategies we should use to present ourselves. Her coverage of different sections was complete enough to impress me, and I have been around LinkedIn for a while now. She would be a great addition to a career finding conference, and I would like to see her at the Virtual Job Fair Giant events in the reception area, helping attendees figure out how to improve their presentation of themselves."

LinkedIn Review, October 5, 2020: "I was able to attend a webinar where Helen presented best practices on how to maximize various profile settings in LinkedIn. She is very knowledgeable regarding the various sections in profile and what you can do to stand out and get noticed in each. She really knows how to capitalize this resource. With her vast skills in resumes and other areas, she is a great resource to find the right position. In a brief amount of time, I learned significant ways to enhance my profile. Now I just need to do it."

LinkedIn Review, October 1, 2020: "My linkedIn account had been dormant for 11 yrs and somebody said; "You should really do something about your account, it sucks!" Embarrassed, I went to work. I figured out my picture, my banner, and even put together my "About" section. Feeling a bit cocky I attended Helen's LinkedIn presentation and WOW! Her presentation was/is awesome. In just a few minutes I realized how much more powerful and more effective I could be with this awesome tool. Helen delivered content that was spot on to enhance my whole LinkedIn presence. But she delivered more than content, anyone can do that. She engaged the learner in a way that provided powerful application, which I think is the true test learning. She facilitated learning rather just providing 'content download'! I am a retired Master Facilitator, former Director of a corporate university and a former Director of Leadership Development for two Fortune 50 companies. I can highly recommend her presentation, both skills and content! Gene Buhler, MSOD, SPHR"

Helen has been a tremendous blessing to my and my future endeavors. We initialized our conversation by her asking some general questions about my wants/needs in my future career.

I appreciated the work Helen Horton did on my resume, cover letter and Linkedin profile. She was able to quickly and easily take my key skills and experience and express them in written form very effectively. I am extremely happy with her work, which would have taken me more time to complete and would not have been done nearly as well. Working with Helen was very easy and she had a very quick turnaround on what I needed her to accomplish. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have a well written resume and Linkedin profile to present to potential employers.

I received several responses when I requested quotes for professional resume services. Helen's was the only response that was concise and straight forward. Hers is also the only one that actually quoted prices for her services. She was professional, helpful and continually communicated during the process. I am a computer geek that does what I do well. What I am unable to do well is articulate that in a resume. Helen did an excellent job of doing this for me.

My resume was woefully outdated so I needed a professional both to update it and to format it suitably for ATS review. Helen’s approach is founded on telling the stories of your results, your “so what?”, rather than just the responsibilities you’ve held. She challenged my thinking and we went through several iterations, but the end result was a strong executive level resume and aligned content in my LinkedIn profile. Be prepared to do some critical thinking when you partner with Helen - it will be worth it!

I strongly recommend Helen. I like her approach on the cover letter as very unique. She doesn’t repeat your resume in wordings but tell your story, your personal challenge and accomplishment as a supplement to your resume. She did my resume, my cover letter, and worked on my LinkedIn profile. She made detailed recommendations on points that we mostly overlook but essential to our job marketing. I wish I can say more about her expertise, but this is your opportunity to discover her amazing work as a professional resume writer.

Enjoyed working with Helen on my resume, after being in business for 15 years and not really needing one, she was able to include all the skills and experience I've developed over the years in a very creative and functional way. Very happy with the final product and looking forward to working with her again!

I knew my resume needed professional guidance and resurrection. What I didn't know is that Helen could turn things around, helping to eradicate job gaps for understandable reason or numerous job changes in too short a period to my benefit. Her wording on the resume was self-defining and complimentary through careful deduction and analysis. Beyond this, she has been a pleasure to work with from the perspective of addressing answers to questions to giving me insight into current expected resume formats. This was SO worth the investment and I now look forward to forging ahead with job applications that I know will push me ahead to a considerable candidate, where none existed before.
