As a transfer student at UC Berkeley and even though I worked at Apple as a sales specialist , I was still struggling. Transfer students really struggle and I come from an underdog background. Wonsulting helped me by building my personal brand, optimizing my LinkedIn, optimizing my resume, and really helped me think of interview questions that helped me formulate my answers. I’m also part of the exclusive mentorship group and took their course that just made me think really hard about what I want to show my interviewers and seem human at the same time. I received offers from both Nintendo and Adobe, accepting Nintendo!
Wonsulting polished my resume to be more focused on the role I wanted. The team was very responsive in terms of making my resume meet my needs. Now I am definitely more confident in handing in my resume. Before getting my resume reviewed by Wonsulting, I had a hard time landing interviews or hearing back from companies. The reason why I decided to revise my resume is because I eventually felt that my resume was lacking in terms of wording as well as its format.
I rewrited my resume with the Wonsulting recommendations and the recruiter and hiring manager was impressed by my one page resume. Also I tried to negotiate for a better salary after the interviews which it was a bit tricky because they had a given budget but I got to have a little more on my bonus.
Before I was working with Wonsulting, my job search strategy was quantity over quality. I sent out over hundreds of applications only to hear back from a select few or sometimes no one. Being a coding bootcamp grad, this was the mentality our instructors taught us since the competition was high for new grad roles. I was getting burnt out and tired of my hard work and efforts were going to waste.
Wonsulting really stepped up my job search skills and showed me techniques on how to stand out from other candidates and improve my response rate with recruiters. I was finally getting responses from recruiters at companies that I would usually get an automated rejection email from!
Three years later, I’m still using the techniques I learned from Wonsulting and I finished my most recent job search with 6 offers and ended up at my dream company at Meta! I owe much of my success to Wonsulting and would highly recommend their courses and services to anyone in their job search!

Making the investment helped me turn the page and get serious about job hunting. - Reached out to 50+ targeted professionals with similar roles at dream companies - Conducted 12 informational interviews from 9 companies (this really gave me an edge during the interview process, they were very impressed I took initiative and sought out conversations with people at the company in similar roles) - Had conversations with 3 recruiters that reached out to me via LinkedIn - Applied to 73 positions with my revamped resume and cover letter - Rejected from 24 (and counting) - Interviewed for 4 positions at 2 DREAM leading CPG companies - Offered job and negotiated +10% base salary, and a signing bonus on March 4!
