Emily is very efficient to work with and frankly her result was magic—my new resume is receiving high praise and a lot of attention.

I’ve been her client through different roles and found her to be the ultimate partner. She’s always looking to build the relationship and gain trust. I love Emily as a person. I am positive that her work will shift results in a helpful way."
Marianne Adoradio, M.A.

"I met Emily several years ago. As an established Career Coach, with clients from most industries and contracts w/ major companies, to this day she is the only resume writer to whom I refer. She is an excellent writer who understands how to market one's uniqueness. She is of the highest quality in her work and her certifications are a testimony to her excellence. I HIGHLY recommend Emily."
Lisa Eliopoulos

"It's my pleasure to recommend Emily to anyone who's ready to take a high-quality, strategic approach to marketing their professional skills and accomplishments. I especially appreciated her ability to communicate how my community involvement would add value to a for-profit organization. A master wordsmith, Emily accurately captured my experience in event planning and leadership, with a spotlight on the unique strengths that distinguish my brand."
Frederick Ferrer
Community Advocate...CEO...Professor
“State of the art” is what I think of when I think of Emily’s expertise in resume communications. She not only knows what’s the latest in what employers are looking for but can translate anyone’s varied and disconnected career and interests into a coherent, successful job-winning communication. She manages the whole resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn process efficiently by asking the right questions, listening deeply, and then creating a resume that you just say 'Wow, how did she put all this together in such a graphically pleasing and effective way?' I’ve recommended her to family and friends and she’s always delivered."
Sondra Elliot
Product Operations Program Manager
"Working with Emily was great! She was detailed thru the entire process. She asked me questions that I hadn't thought about. She followed up promptly and communicated effectively making sure every box was checked. Her turn around time was on par. I had a wonderful experience working with Emily and I highly recommend her for your Resume and LinkedIn Profile services."
Jennifer Zumek

"It is my pleasure to highly recommend Emily Wong if you are seeking professional assistance in refreshing your resume. Emily has a rare gift to thoughtfully listen and skillfully help translate your talent, achievements, and experiences into a compelling and masterful summary that is uniquely you."
Cindy Skalicky
Founder of On Point Communications
"Emily Wong is an excellent listener, storyteller, and writer. I've known Emily since 2016 when we met at an industry conference and have so enjoyed learning from her. She is warm, inviting, and viewed as an expert in her field when it comes to resume writing. Emily is up on all the latest trends, and she is continuously learning and adapting as those trends change. She is an excellent podcast host as well, which is just another way she demonstrates leadership in the field. I enthusiastically recommend Emily if you're on the journey to a new step in your career! ."
Heather Zuzel
Sr. Quality Program Manager
"Emily created an excellent resume, LinkedIn summary, and cover letter for me. After reviewing my information and a short phone conversation, she focused on a theme of skills and interests that I had not placed in a prominent position in my resume. Her insight is remarkable and her ability to transform my career story is impressive, without it feeling like I am overselling anything. Her process of review and edits was timely and she communicated consistently throughout the process. I feel confident that the documents she delivered will better represent me and my career interests in the future."
Courtney Lindberg
Conversational AI Dialogue Design Leader
"Collaborative and friendly, Emily is easy to work with. She knows LinkedIn inside and out. Emily understands the value of connections and how to present stories. She is a trusted career adviser."
Julie Hefner
Senior Product and Merchanding Leader
"I worked with Emily over summer (2023) on my resume and LinkedIn profile. Emily was engaging and a good listener. She took my existing resume, then through discussion and a brief homework assignment, elevated the language and clearly communicated my achievements in a meaningful way. She is savvy on LinkedIn tips and my profile realized a significant increase in views and impressions week over week. I enjoyed this experience very much. I would highly recommend Emily and Words of Distinction to anyone who wants to up their game and feel confident in the tools that represent us in the workplace. Emily was so effective, I'm starting my new job in December."
Dr. Teresa Deveaux
Professor
"About 10 years ago I worked with Emily on an update to my resume and LinkedIn Profile...it is an understatement to say that my investment has paid off in SPADES. Since Emily helped me, I moved into roles closer and closer to my goal and in 2021 transitioned to my career dream of being a University Professor and Executive Coach/Consultant. Over the years I have referred countless colleagues to Emily and all have come back to me with the same glowing feedback...that Emily's advice and coaching is worth its weight in gold. I also recently used one of Emily's newsletters as an example for students who are recreating their own CVs and professional presence on social media. If you want the best of the best to help you move closer to your professional goals, I can't recommend Emily enough!"
Adam Corn
Director of Global Security
"Emily is top-notch! She has been supporting my career growth for the past 6 years and thanks to her high-quality work, I have been enjoying some incredible professional results. Emily understands what recruiters are looking for and she knows the ins & outs of the software the HR Department uses to screen both applications and resumes. Emily is fun to work with, transparent, and always meets the agreed-upon deadline. If you need someone to help you with your resume, cover letter, and/or LinkedIn profile, look no further, you found the right person!"
