Eda provided me with helpful comments and opinions on how I should improve my essays. She even gave me insight into how a college administrator would choose an applicant’s essay. She helped me improve my two essays for college admissions, and thanks to her, I was able to get accepted to the college of my choice.

1. Working with Élan Advising has been one of the best decisions I have made in my undergraduate career. Eda helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses for job search and career options. She is also very friendly and approachable; I honestly felt like I had known Eda for years.
2. I struggled with identifying my personal values and thought a high paying job was more important in life. She helped me identify those values that I strongly believe in, and now I have a much less stressful time searching for jobs after graduation, as well as understanding what should be important.
3. Eda was very honest with her words and made me realize that searching for the first job after college is a stressful experience we all feel and go through. From my experience with Eda, my thinking has become much more realistic in terms of my personal performance and where to start after college.
**After working for just two weeks with Eda, I have gained so much in professional and personal assets that I landed an interview with Amazon.**

Eda was very helpful and motivating, ensuring that I had the best experience applying for universities as a transfer.
I found the prospect tedious and overwhelming, but she was able to help with the application process, assist me in refining and completing an excellent admissions essay, and was able to talk me through all the processes that I needed to take into consideration.
A number of times outside of coaching hours, she was able to talk me through stressful situations by providing uplifting and reassuring but proactive advice. Her approach is friendly and supportive and I honestly felt that I was able to achieve anything academically with her guidance!

Élan Advising has been instrumental to my job search as I continue to build a career. Eda talked me through identifying my priorities for the best fit in a job, which allowed me to narrow and focus my job search. She expertly explained what key qualities employers are looking for and how to best showcase my self through the cover letter and resume.
This landed me a number of interviews for positions I'm very excited about! Eda is very knowledgeable. She is caring and kind, but firm when she knows you need that little push to overcome the fear of the unknown!

Working with Élan Advising was a great experience. Eda took the time to understand what I was looking for in my next job and worked with me to figure out what kind of positions would be a good fit for me.
She helped me with the cover letter by walking me through the process of what constitutes a good cover letter and what hiring managers will actually read. And thanks to her, I heard back from a recruiter within 30 minutes of applying to a coveted position!
I used to send a blanket cover letter to many jobs. Now I know how to focus my letters. This company's methods have directly impacted how I now go about the job hunting process.
