    Resume and Linked-In Optimization made easy. She promptly responded and we got to work within a day. She was able to revamp my resume and provide a much needed overall to my Linked In profile. Her guidance was instrumental and gave me a lot of confidence in moving forward in my next career steps. Can't thank you enough!

    “Dear Chiara, Thank you for your application for the [X] at [X] through LinkedIn. Your profile caught our attention during the review process.” “Hi Chiara, thanks for reaching out! Your background is really relevant [...]” These are the responses I've been receiving after less than two weeks of applying with the résumé and LinkedIn profile prepared by Kyla. According to my LinkedIn history, before this change I had submitted more than 150 applications with no results. It’s always me, with the same experience and skills, but the outcome now looks completely different. Kyla is a Professional. She doesn't simply rewrite your profile to make it sound "nicer". She takes the time to understand your background, studies your experience in depth, asks many questions and, with a laser-like precision, identifies the qualities that make you stand out from other candidates. Her approach is comprehensive and strategic. Beyond optimizing your résumé and LinkedIn profile, she provides an overall assessment of your professional positioning, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement, while also offering valuable guidance for your future career path. Honestly, my only regret is not having found her sooner. Today's job market is highly competitive; seeking help from the right person can make all the difference .Grazie mille Kyla!

    I cannot recommend Kyla enough. I came to her feeling stuck trying to articulate my value. My background is very multidisciplinary, and I was also trying to pivot into a different industry, which made it even harder to clearly position myself. Kyla was incredibly thorough in how she approached my experience. She asked the right questions, pulled out details I would not have thought to highlight, and helped me translate everything into a clear, compelling narrative. She was also extremely responsive and easy to work with. Beyond the resume itself, the resources and guidance she provided were genuinely high value. This was not generic advice you can find online. Everything was practical, easy to apply, and immediately useful. Her tools and approach made the entire process feel far less overwhelming and helped me focus on fewer, higher-quality applications, which ultimately gave me a much stronger return on my time and effort. After we started working together, I began landing multiple interviews and ultimately received two offers. I accepted the second, which is honestly a dream role. I can confidently say I would not have approached that opportunity the same way without her guidance. I also added LinkedIn support and career coaching, and both were absolutely worth it. Kyla is thoughtful, down to earth, and clearly has a gift for this work. I have already recommended her to friends and family, and I will continue to do so. If you are on the fence, it is 100% worth it.

    Kyla was recommended to me by a friend and I wasn't sure what to expect when I reached out to her. I have worked with resume writers before but I found Kyla's approach refreshing and unique. I was switching industries and Kyla helped me highlight my transferrable skills to ensure my resume aligned to the roles I was applying to. Kyla's turnaround time on my resume was impressive which helped me apply for jobs quickly. She provided several helpful resources and resume alignment tools that helped me tailor my resume for the jobs I was applying to. She was very professional and easy to work with. If you are thinking about using a resume writer, do give Kyla a chance!

    Kyla revamped both my resume and my LinkedIn and did a wonderful job! She captured exactly what I was hoping to highlight from my skillsets and background and then some. She’s extremely knowledgeable and professional, and she even gave me some additional resources to further my job search using the new resume she gave me & feedback on my LinkedIn revamp. I appreciate all the help she’s given me during this process, and I’ll definitely consider reaching out to her again if needed in the future!

    I would like to sincerely thank Kyla for her endless support and encouragement throughout my interview process. She is kind, talented, and most importantly highly skilled in career coaching. I hired her to help me prepare for a three-stage interview, and she showed up to every session fully prepared, offering thoughtful insights and actionable feedback. Everything she shared was incredibly helpful, and because of her guidance, I was able to move through each stage quickly and confidently. I ultimately received and accepted an offer letter. I truly could not have done this without Kyla. Thank you so much for your support. I highly recommend her to anyone preparing for interviews or looking for a career coach. Kyla is absolutely the one to go
