  Working with Chenae has been the best career move I've made thus far. Before we started working together, I struggled to land interviews, and if I did land an interview, I couldn't get past the 2nd round of interviews. I was frustrated for months. Initially, I reached out to Chenae for resume writing services. What was unique about her service was that she didn't ask what I needed and then rewrite my resume for me; we rewrote it together. We walked through the decisions she made and why she made them. From that moment, I knew I needed to hire her as my career coach.
  
  From there, we optimized my LinkedIn, went through mock interviews, and she pointed out my blind spots and areas I needed to improve on, which provided clarity as to why I was getting rejected early on in the interview process. This was a turning point for me. Fast forward a few weeks, and recruiters started pouring in, averaging about 3 to 4 DMs a day! There was an opportunity that landed in my inbox that I couldn't pass up, and with all the training I learned, my interview process was expedited because of how well I interviewed; they didn't want to waste time. From the initial call to offer took 5 business days! None of this would have been possible without Chenae's expertise.
  
  If you're thinking about working with Chenae, I strongly recommend it!

  I highly recommend Chenae Erkerd, J.D., RACR.
  
  Months ago, I watched your video with Tech Is New Black where you explained why resumes often get overlooked—how certain layouts can get rejected by applicant tracking systems, and why we shouldn’t take it personally when recruiters don’t respond. I took notes, replayed that video several times, and immediately got to work on my resume.
  
  To sharpen my interview skills, I even applied to roles I knew I didn’t want—like QA positions in industries I had no intention of joining—just so I could practice. That strategy worked. Once I learned how to pivot on tough interview questions, I started applying for roles I truly wanted.
  
  If you scroll through my page, you’ll see I even posted a screenshot of you with a link to that video. Just three weeks ago, AWS reached out to me—thanks to the profile optimization you recommended. Now, I’ve relocated to Ashburn, Virginia (with AWS covering the move) and I’m proud to say I’m working as a Data Center Engineering Operations Technician, Level 4.

  I knew of her, but got to know her as a person and professional as my career stalled and I needed help. I scheduled a session with her. First, she listened. I don't mean listen to say her spill as a professional, but she listens to your situation to determine next steps. So, I followed her steps and got a 10K increase. When I started looking again, I followed her steps and got another increase. Her steps weren't hard or drawn out; they were easy to understand and complete. I also used her cover letter template, which was great!

  Chenae was a huge asset to me when I got laid off from my previous employer in tech over the summer. Despite not getting a job at the company she helped me with specifically at the time, her tips and tricks enabled me to get an approximately 30% pay increase at a fully remote company doing work that I genuinely enjoy.

  Chenae, it took me a while to be able to articulate this because I wanted it to reflect how incredibly special and talented you are, and the blessing it has been just to share the experience of working together with you over the last couple of years. I refuse to write this recommendation in third person, because this isn't for the world to know how amazing you are, they already know that, and the other recommendations here are a reflection of that. This is for you to know how amazing you are.
  
  I've told you this before when we've chatted, but I'll share this again here. When I listened to you on stage for the first time, we were at Georgia Tech talking to first generation college students who knew nothing about getting a job or acclimating into the workforce. Your presence absolutely filled the room that day and I knew then that we would work together. Your passion for helping anyone and everyone, at any stage in their life or in their career ascends beyond what any building or room or table can hold. You are the epitome of what it means to break barriers and taking others - everyone - along with you.
  
  The work you do does more than just accelerate careers, it changes lives. It gives people chances that they'd otherwise never have. It builds bridges that no one else would have been willing to build. It gives hope and brighter futures to people who never thought they deserved it. It allows families to eat when they thought they'd be hungry, and let's parents sleep at night knowing that their children will be provided for. It's more than just giving people a job, it's giving people their livelihoods.
  
  That's what makes you so special Chenae, because you see the greatest good in everyone you meet, and you know exactly what to say and what to do to make sure every person you touch or reach has exactly what they need to feel empowered to continue to aspire and dream again. No one can ever take that power away from you. Don't ever let them.
  
  This is likely less a recommendation, and more an appreciation letter. :) Thank you for being you Chenae, for being an amazing colleague, and an even better friend. Keep shining, never let anyone dim your light.
  
  With Love,
  
  Paulana
