Email Campaign Specialist
Prior to working with Relevante, my résumé was not producing new job interviews for myself. Relevante helped me rework it in a project-focused manner that made me stand out. I started getting interviews immediately after. They also led me through a holistic process to leverage my network, résumé, job sites, and recruiters to get in front of better opportunities, sooner. Thank you, Relevante!
