Success Story
"I had pretty much given up finding permanent employment. In my late 50’s, I had been working contract positions for eight years... Jordan worked around my work schedule to meet with me. She brought my résumé into the 21st century and proofread my letters for the positions I applied for. She sent me job leads and suggestions. When I did get an interview she made suggestions of possible questions I might be asked and helped me rehearse for the interview. I was offered a permanent full-time position with my second interview."
