Testimonials

Rebecca greatly helped me through the transformation process upon college graduation to being a real-world job applicant. I now look at my resume with more confidence than I ever have after consulting with Rebecca, than I ever did with the with years of my professor's advising in college.

Like so many others, once I graduated from graduate school, I found myself sifting through both the print and internet employment classifieds in search of gainful employment. To my dismay however, this method proved futile with little to show for my time. After speaking with a friend, I was advised to seek the counsel of a recruiter named Rebecca McCain. A few days after meeting with Rebecca, she had placed me face to face with several of New York City's advertising leaders. In addition, she coached me on the tools of effective interviewing and left me with a confidence ultimately helping me acquire the job of my dreams. I am in her debt for the hard work she did on my behalf. I will certainly look her up again should the need arise someday.

Rebecca was a dream, when I moved to New York from Houston I didn't have a job and really didn't know where to start, luckily I was in a class with Rebecca and once she found out I was struggling she really came to my aid, I've gotten numerous employment opportunities because of her. With her unending resources and creative diligence Rebecca is heaven sent. She is also a great reference, and heaven knows we all need those. - Derrence Washington

My experience with Rebecca has been beneficial, informative and invaluable.

I initially asked Rebecca for help with my resume to which she was very insightful. She aided me in restructuring it so that I would be able to better represent myself and present a more cohesive resume that did a much better job of highlighting elements that are key items
for employers. The update made me feel much more confident during the interview process and the clearer resume afforded the interviewer the opportunity to ask more in-depth and different questions once the basic information was presented so deftly.

After the success of my resume helped me move forward in my career, I asked for her coaching in discussions with my bosses for a possible promotion. She gave me the right vocabulary to speak clearly about what I wanted and how I saw my future. I felt like I was able to present my case accurately and in the end I was ultimately successful.

I have had a great deal of success with Rebecca’s help and I would recommend working with her to anyone who is looking to advance their career, make a career change, or just find the career they really want.

I would highly recommend Rebecca as a Job Coach/Career counselor. Her connections in the staffing world and expertise with resume writing made my transition from temporary work to full time employment here in NYC seamless. Rebecca made it possible for me to gain work experience within corporations throughout NYC that otherwise would not have been attainable.

I came to New York fresh out of college to pursue acting. I was underway with my acting plans but completely overwhelmed when I began searching for my survival job. I don't know what I would have done without Rebecca. She was easy going and confident and knew exactly how to help me get focused. She helped me organize my resume, find my strengths, and the confidence I needed for interviews. Thanks to Rebecca I was able to find administrative work that was flexible with my acting pursuits. Rebecca has a generous and compassionate spirit. Not only will she help you feel prepared for the work field, she will help you find yourself in this sometimes overwhelming city.

I moved to New York three years ago and I wouldn’t have been able to stay with it weren’t for Rebecca McCain.

I applied to countless temp agencies, staffing agencies, and career counselors but Rebecca was the only one of them I met that consistently produced the results I was looking for. The rest were in it for themselves. The other agents worked for commission not for me and it showed. They didn’t want me to be hired. They wanted me to continue working week to week, bouncing from job to job, because that’s how they make money. Rebecca was different. I wasn’t a dollar sign to her. I was a person. She fought to find me work and when that job ended she found me better work.

Resumes are tricky. They’re like an art and there is indeed an art to them. I was perfect for a lot of the jobs I was applying for, so why wasn’t I getting them? I’d send my resume but never hear back or if I did get brushed off before the interview started. That was because I thought first impressions were made at the interview. That’s not the case. Your resume and cover letter arrive first. They’re your first impression. And my resume and cover letter were making bad first impressions.

It wasn’t that my resume wasn’t good because it was—it was grammatically perfect and well organized and clear. It was text book perfect but as any college graduate will tell you the way they were taught to do things from the text while in the vacuum of college differs drastically from the way they’re actually done when practiced in the real world. Point being—t he person interviewing you didn’t go to college with you. The way you’d do things might not be their way. They might be from H.R. and not even know exactly what it is that you do. They might just be looking for a “good fit.” And you need to know who you’re interviewing for.

You’re not wooing a position in a company with your resume; you’re wooing an individual in that company, the actual person that posted the ad you applied to. You’re resume needs to seduce that person.

One uniform resume isn’t good enough. You have to tailor your resume for each opportunity every time. I didn’t know that and even after I did I didn’t know how to.

Rebecca McCain does. Rebecca reads between the lines and sees the things we don’t.

It’s a sixth sense. Personalities manifest themselves effortlessly out of every ad she reads. She reads between the lines—sees things we’d never see: who placed the ad, how that person relates to the corporate philosophy and vibe he placed the ad for, the difference between what they said and what they actually mean and what that says about the company, what they’re really looking for, and who posted the ad. Anyone can read an ad but only McCain can actually read an ad.

If you want the job Rebecca can tell you how to get it—how to tailor not only your resume but your appearance and your interviewing skills.

I can’t stress how helpful Rebecca McCain has been. When I couldn’t find work waiting tables on my own she found me the job of my dreams.
