"Ilene is brilliant. When you are looking for a career, it's so normal to be stressed out and have blind spots. Ilene guides her clients through this seemlessly, and gets them to the most useful actions. Although I've got years of experience, there are so many things I was missing and now know how to approach recruiters and companies with a much more compelling story.

If you have the opportunity to work with her, I highly recommend it!" - Chris
