"While networking I was referred to Ilene Rein. I had no intention of hiring a career advisor, but I was so impressed with her that I signed up on the spot!

She helped me understand how recruiters think, update my resume, and be prepared for interview questions. I started applying for roles on September 23rd, and on November 10th I accepted a job offer – less than 7 weeks later! This is more impressive when you consider I was looking for a job in another area of the country and I was trying to return to a field I hadn’t worked in for a while. These two factors had previously limited my success in finding a position, but with Ilene’s help I was finally able to break thru! I highly recommend Ilene Rein & Pounding Pavement 101 to anyone looking for a new role or career move."

"Ilene helped me through a very difficult transitional point in my career. I did not finish a degree and had been working as an administrative professional in several different environments for many years. I suffered layoffs with big and small companies, and had a situation where I had to leave a position with notice that wasn't the right fit for me. Although I have a lot of experience and good references, there was an issue with longevity on my current resume.

Ilene stuck with me the whole way, helping me understand how I can sell myself in the current job market and update my resume to get interviews. I also learned a few new tricks on interviewing and presentation. Once I started applying, I had many job offers within just a month, and was able to choose between opportunities.

I'm very grateful to her. She was a friend as well as a professional guiding me the whole way with a very positive outlook. I would highly recommend her to anyone just starting out, or with many years experience in any level of work. Ilene is the best."
