“Incredible. This word says everything about Karen. I moved to Amsterdam in May 2013 and a few months later participated in a CV writing workshop hosted by Karen at an international company. The session was interactive, entertaining and at the same time informative and relevant.She has an exceptional ability to recognize your personality, your needs and goals and what is more important, her advice is specific and actionable. Her support paid off: after the meeting I had an interview at the company I honestly wanted to work for and I have just received a job offer from them. I highly recommend Karen!”
