Worth every penny! It’s rare to connect with a coach who is so effective in such a short amount of time. I had the pleasure of working with Lori when I hired her to help me prepare for my job search and land my inspiring new position. Lori coached me through every step of the process and I was particularly grateful for the training in behavioral interviewing. Lori’s coaching helped me, not only to get my foot in the door, I was able to successfully tie my resume results with exceptional examples that I used to show multiple interviewers how I would perform in the future. As a long distant client, I appreciated Lori’s flexibility. Whether we were connecting via Skype, or setting up a last minute phone conversation, Lori was always professional and very personable. I would highly recommend Lori and Rush Recruiting & HR to anyone who’s looking for job seeker services. Not only did I land the position I was targeting, I learned many valuable skills, and successfully shifted my career to a new industry, in a short amount of time. Thanks Lori!
