Personal guidance and insight to secure the right role
Having the perspective of a human resources professional during your job search gives you an added edge, even if you’ve navigated searches on your own before. Support from partners and friends is important, but it’s different with guidance of someone who has worked directly in the field.Valerie brings deep experience and a grounded understanding of the hiring landscape. She offers clear direction when you need it and a safe space to reassess your approach when things shift. Her professional knowledge and resources help you strengthen your strategy and stay aligned with current trends in an increasingly competitive job market, insights that many outside the recruiting world may not have.She equipped me with the tools and language to articulate my strongest skills and coached me on how to frame them effectively in interviews. With her guidance, I secured a role back in the field I love, with compensation that reflects my experience and education. These are the kinds of nuanced, human insights that AI simply can’t replicate.Valerie has been a valuable sounding board throughout my search. I’m grateful for our time working together and glad to have her in my network.

Exceptional Career Coaching. Highly Recommended.
It is with great enthusiasm and delight to write this recommendation for Valerie Martinelli. Growing tired and less passionate about the industry I was working in for ten years, I put my trust in Valerie Martinelli Consulting given a friend's recommendation. From the first consulting meeting we had, I immediately felt comfortable engaging with Valerie as she discovered the client, your interests, and career aspirations. I no longer felt the stress and daunting road ahead after our consultation and the several meetings to follow. I knew I was in good hands from our first interaction. After thorough questionnaires in preparation for my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn content, Valerie executed and presented my documents to the highest standards with great care and diligence. Following this stage in the process, we practiced mock interviews which I found to be incredibly valuable given the substantial content she provided and her feedback and knowledge to standard and behavioral questions. Thanks to Valerie, I have landed a role at a prestigious American luxury goods company which was my desire from the beginning. She is not only an exceptional Career Coach, she is an amazing person who you can trust to transition careers or land your dream role!

Competent and honest
Explored the option of going back to the job market recently, and Valerie was a great help in clarifying today's reality with job hunting, how LinkedIn plays into that, and how having the right keywords in the right way can make a huge difference. I am grateful for Valerie's advice, and would highly recommend her!

Excellent experience with someone that truly wants to help you succeed!
I recently hired Valerie to rewrite my resume and LinkedIn profile. Over a zoom call, we dove into my experiences in great detail. She asked many questions about my past and current positions which allowed me to delve deeper into my accomplishments. Armed with this information, she produced a resume and LinkedIn profile which within a week, generated more inquiries from recruiters. Valerie sincerely is in this to help you succeed in your job search!I highly recommend Valerie!

I was contacted via LinkedIn by Valerie and found her proposal eye catching and her enthusiasm to help my career pursuits even more appealing. Just about a week after our initial resume review and questionnaire, did she have a final draft of a completely revamped resume to fit ATS criteria and employer desired format! She was very helpful and knowledgeable

More Than Resume, LinkedIn Profiles Updates and Cover Letters
Valerie and Brian recently worked with my two new college graduates. They were kind, thoughtful, and pulled out the magic in my boy's abilities while making those skills tangible for the hiring people to choose to review their resumes and offer an interview.Thank you both for your help and desire to support my kids!

Valerie is my go-to career coach
Valerie is so much more than a person who helps you "find the next job."Valerie's guidance and wisdom made it possible for her to reel in some of my rougher edges to refine not only my resume and LinkedIn page - she helped me refine my thinking about my career in general. Val has this knack to let you go and go... until you have the aha moment she was looking for. She looks for the coachable and teachable aspects of each client. Valerie's ability to counsel her clients with patient mentoring keeps me going back to her as my go-to "help me think this through" whenever I find myself in a new or unexpected situation or with a new or unexpected opportunity.I've been working long enough to know that I better listen to what Val has to say. She'll wait out my stubborn tendencies until I get on the same page and that's a really unusual talent for a career coach and mentor.

Valerie is a talented and caring professional, who understands the needs of her clients. She spent many hours with me creating a resume, review my career goals, plan a path for change after spending 20 years in a career. She offered sage advice when deciding what positions would best serve my personal and professional goals. She has a great sense of humor, and provided needed confidence. Her resume writing and career coaching talents led me to a new career path within a couple of months. I highly recommend her services if you are considering a career change and need someone who can lead you through the process. I love my new job and working with Valerie was the key to finding success!

Disappointed
Most of Valerie's actual job placement services are based on the client's individual network. In my experience, Valerie inflated her ability to assist with job placement. If you are a mid-career professional and do not have a robust and influential network, these services will not be beneficial. I would suggest going the route of participating in a mid-career fellowship if you are seeking to make a career pivot and need to expand your network. With this said, Valerie did offer a ton of support and accountability. Unfortunately for me, I was not lacking in these areas and ultimately disappointed in my ROI. I think her services would be better suited for Senior-level Executives seeking a career change.

This was to develop a government formatted resume. The summary rewrite was very well worded. However, if I knew that the only other changes we’re adding contact/salary info and reformatting the skills section to align with select job, perhaps a discussion would have been sufficient with me updating. I do appreciate the assistance and insights offered though.
