“Polina is your personal HR bff! She is so generous with her extensive knowledge; within the first session, you get the latest and most up to date insider tricks and trends into the who, what, where, when, and how’s for updating your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, networking tactics, and personalized roadmap strategy for landing a new role. For anyone looking to transition careers, get promoted, or update their personal brand I can’t recommend Polina enough”.

“Polina and I worked in the same company where she was an HR manager. She always had an infectiously bright and positive energy which drew people to her, and she was the most approachable person, always open to help and give advice on career/personal development and how to make an impact in and outside of a company.
Always involved in people and culture-related initiatives, her passion for people is obvious and rare. This is why after years, I can still connect with her and know that she would have valuable advice for me no matter what stage of career I may be at.
Polina was able to put into words many valuable concepts and specific actions for me to consider regarding career progression and networking - topics I needed help with.
Polina knows what you need to do - she has years of experience in working with leaders to grow companies and powering people’s professional growth. Her unique perspective gained in the industry and tips will equip you to take control of your career. I am so happy to have her in my network, and I highly recommend anyone who wants to excel in their career to reach out to Polina!”.

“Working with Polina has been a game changer. Her years of recruitment experience shine through, as do her creativity and compassion. Her re-imagining of my resume was the objective angle I needed to best express my work history and goals in a concise manner (that was also readable by HR software).
But it was her interview coaching that moved the needle for me. It had been several years since I'd interviewed, and her approach helped me craft my unique narrative in a way that best communicated my strengths, achievements and personality. Advanced planning of responses to typical interview questions - while in a mock-interview environment - put me at ease for the real thing. Also, her insights into interviewing during a pandemic / via Zoom were very helpful.
I would urge anyone who was looking to re-invent themselves or gain an edge during their job search to work with Polina!”.
-Ali H. West Palm Beach, FL
Director of Search Marketing, Kaplan
“Working with Polina was an experience that changed my self-esteem and gave me confidence to achieve goals that I never thought were possible.
I had worked so hard to earn my college degrees and to gain work experience, but my resume did not reflect the person I am or the job I can do. Polina had conversations with me and asked me to share with her about my experiences.
After listening to me share, she was able to help me put into words how valuable I am as an employee. In fact, I never realized how much of my experience I was discounting or excluding because I did not see value in it.
Polina truly listens to understand and was able to help me see that my passion is working with people; onboarding, training, mentoring and coaching them. She genuinely cares for my success and has continued to follow up with me even though my resume and cover letter have been completed.
She is someone that I value and have already referred to others because I believe that she is a person who will help anyone succeed. Polina is someone that I intend to continue to keep in touch with as I continue to learn and grow so that I can be up-to-date on my resume and keep my options open for career advancement, success, and fulfillment”.

“My experience with Polina has been nothing short of amazing. I came across her profile on LinkedIn and blindly connected with her. She is super knowledgeable and has been able to provide key pointers on how to navigate the job search given the current climate.
Polina has graciously offered up her network, support and guidance as I continue on the job search. It wasn’t just one conversation but rather open lines of communication going forward which is greatly appreciated. I am grateful to have made the connection and I highly recommend working with Polina to help in your career search”.
-Rachael S. New York, NY
Director of Project Management, Vayner Media
“Working with Polina has been phenomenal - knowing that so many people have been impacted by the effects of Covid-19, Polina graciously offered up her guidance and support.
She was extremely quick to respond to my messages and set up a call with me to talk through my current situation, gave me advice on my resume, ways to approach potential employers, etc. she helped my figure out what my strengths were, how i should position myself, and gave me the confidence I needed to really kickstart my job search.
Polina has a breadth of knowledge about the space, a lot of helpful contacts, and is not shy about sharing all her knowledge. I’m so grateful to have met her and to have the support of someone during this crazy time!”.
-Sonam S, New York, NY
Senior Manager, Destination Marketing, Hilton
“Working with Polina was invaluable and essential for the next step in my career. From our very first call, we hit the ground running. The moment she looked at my old resume, she knew exactly what to do.
Together we articulated my talents, spotlighted my knowledge and synthesized my work history into a work biography that represented me and my gifts. She even helped me remember and celebrate all the professional “wins” that I had forgotten.
One of my biggest takeaways was realizing how skilled I truly am and that I have been undervaluing myself. I walked away with the confidence to get any job I wanted”.

“I was looking for a senior-level leadership role in digital marketing and believe me, it’s no easy task to find a suitable role! During my research, I found Polina on LinkedIn and we connected very quickly and scheduled a session. She gave some wonderful insights and guidance on my resume, my linkedIn profile, and how to grow my professional network. In my 60 minute Q&A session, Polina has already given me a load of information. I now feel much more in control as I proceed with my job search. I highly recommend working with Polina and getting her guidance even if you feel your profile and resume are already up to mark. I want to personally thank Polina for all the guidance and support!”.

“I am so happy to have come across Polina! She prepped me for an interview that I was very nervous about. Polina was very patient and thorough and really helped to raise my self-confidence. I went into the interview feeling prepared to talk about myself and my experience and ask insightful questions. I would highly recommend Polina to any job-seeker no matter what level you’re at in your career!”.

“I am currently in my junior year at the University of Colorado at Boulder working towards a Degree in English with a minor in Communications.
As I thought about my career goals, I found it to be a daunting task navigating job opportunities as I searched for the perfect internship to begin my journey and take my first steps into the business world. To assist me in my search I enlisted the services of Polina Wilson as my Career Coach. Polina set me on a path that started with a self evaluation of my skills, interests, and passions which resulted in me narrowing my focus to opportunities in the Media Industry.
Polina was instrumental in my building a resume that clearly presented me as a viable candidate worthy of consideration by prospective employers. Through mock interviews, Polina helped me develop a confident and professional interview style that is critical to any job search. I was able to leverage Polina’s coaching and contact base to identify internships that were the right fit for me and I am currently being considered for an internship with four top tier Media companies for this summer.
Polina is an intuitive and personable coach that took the time to exercise my passions and find ways of working that were a good fit for me. Her patience and diligence paid off with an impeccable resume that will jumpstart my career post graduation. I highly recommend Polina!”.

“As a recent college graduate, I found myself in search of career opportunities which was a difficult task to undertake on my own. I turned to Polina Wilson for guidance and utilized her considerable skillset as a career coach which helped me identify which career path I was best suited for for the long term. Polina did an outstanding job getting to know my ambitions and compatibility with opportunities offered in the market”. She helped me develop a screening process to allow me to focus on opportunities that would present a higher acceptance rate for both me and a potential employer. Our interactions started with a deep introspection by me of my past and present job experiences and culminated in developing a resume that truly identified me as a viable candidate for companies seeking entry level sales professionals. Next we did mock interviews and prepared for the real thing. I felt Polina’s preparation provided me with the ability to excel in the interview process and eliminate any anxiety I may have had. Lastly, I worked with Polina to help identify potential employers and rank those that would offer me a solid training experience to position me for success in the future. It took me less than a month to find the opportunity that was right for me and during the weeks leading up to my start date I continue to work with Polina for guidance on how to successfully integrate with my new company. I highly recommend Polina”.

”Polina was a tremendous help! Together we worked on my resume and cover letter to make it more detailed and professional. Both came out wonderfully and much better than I could have done on my own!
She was very flexible with meeting times and gave me all her attention and focus while talking. She was also very eager to look at other work I have done, such as my portfolio. Polina also offers mock interviews and provides great suggestions for internships that are catered to your specific skills and desires. I highly suggest other students and professionals work with Polina if you want yourself to be portrayed the best you can be!”.
