Reviews for this mentor

He did an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with over the past few weeks. The WSO resume service is certainly worth the cost of admission, and I will make sure to guide any referrals to the site.

I had set up a time block with this WSO mentor, and he was able to offer me very valuable career insight and establish some connections I could leverage right off the bat. Extremely happy with his service, as he went above and beyond on our first call. Looking to continue my connection with him for future guidance.

He did an incredible job reviewing and editing my resume - he asked all the right questions for further knowledge, and I got everything finished exactly when it needed to be.

Highly recommend him, and I'm extremely happy with his services.

He was extremely helpful in helping me improve my resume. He asked several follow-up questions to understand my background and job target better. In addition, he also updated my resume very quickly.

Choosing him as my mentor was one of the best decisions of my life because he did exactly what he promised: Help me get my dream internship in Sales and Trading at a bulge bracket. The process and way to this were far more enjoyable and easier than I ever imagined. When I reached out to my mentor, I had no experience in Finance and, despite a genuine interest, not too much clue about the field I wanted to enter. I had worked in an entirely different industry for the past years and was hoping to pivot. Everyone I was talking to told me I did not stand much chance of breaking into S&T, let alone a bulge bracket, given my lack of experience. But he was different. He told me I could do it, and he was right. We worked together very closely for the upcoming weeks, and I am pretty certain that I would not be at the point where I am now without him-having him as my mentor made this possible. Not only is he a great motivator and gave me the necessary self-confidence that I needed in the first place to succeed, but he also very efficiently guided me through the whole process: From cover letter editing and preparing for the interviews to motivational talks right before the interviews and following up with the bank until I had the offer. He told me everything I needed to know about the S&T division, explained what to expect during the interviews, gave me clear instructions for preparing, and explained a lot of what I needed to know himself. Even though he had a busy schedule, he always took the time for phone calls with me to make sure that all my questions were answered. Within the shortest time after receiving the interview invitation, we managed to get my preparation level from 0 to 100. I walked into the interviews feeling confident in a way that I did not imagine possible at the start of the application process. I nailed every single of the interviews, and these were my very first finance interviews ever. I would never have imagined everything going so smoothly: Having my first interviews at a BB and getting the job. He made this possible, he is super friendly and fun, and I recommend him to anyone who wants to enter Finance.

He did a great job getting the important points about my job and specific tasks that I performed onto the resume. Additionally, he fixed the format to be in line with what banks typically see.

I would definitely recommend him to people that need assistance with their resumes.

I am beyond grateful for the guidance and support provided by my career mentor. He helped me navigate the challenging job market and land my dream job as a trader at a large bank. As someone with a less traditional background in commercial real estate and Big 4 accounting, I had been considering an MBA as my only path to breaking into the high finance industry. However, my mentor listened to my story and expertly assessed my skills and experience, ultimately guiding me towards a career as a trader.

With his help, I was able to tailor my resume and cover letter to match the specific requirements of the job, and felt well-prepared and confident going into the interviews. The support and expertise provided by my mentor was invaluable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to take the next step in their financial career. He truly helped me to see that my goals were achievable and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
