Hi Karen, just wanted to let you know that I got hired by Surrey Fire. I wanted to thank you for all your help with the interview preparation and guidance over the years, it really made a difference. Thanks a lot!
Hi Karen,
It’s with great pleasure I am writing to let you know I have finally achieved my lifetime goal and dream of becoming a structural firefighter. I have worked continuously for nearly a decade building the best resume I could but was missing a critical piece and that was my interview skills. You successfully taught me how to prepare and formulate answers which led to improved interview score and my confidence. I cannot thank you enough you have contributed greatly to my journey and life passion. Whitehorse Firefighter September 2020

Karen was very professional, friendly and provided outstanding work.
She had a wealth of knowledge of the fire industry. Anytime I needed to update or change my resume, communication was excellent everything and was complete.
She is so very professional, and supported my journey to becoming a career firefighter.
She helped me successfully navigate through every step of the hiring process.
I highly recommend her services .
Thanks again for everything. I wouldn’t have gotten hired without your help.

As the Fire Training Officer with Sun Peaks Fire Rescue, I looked to Karen to provide interview prep / training for our Work Experience Candidates. Because of her proven and effective training methods, 85% of our WEP firefighter candidates successfully earned full time firefighter positions in departments across Canada.

I wanted to thank you for your services and support over the last few months. I wanted to let you know I was offered one one the two jobs this year. I truly believe that I would not have been successful this time around if it wasn’t for the time I spent with you preparing. Your advice and insight into the process was invaluable to me. I will be sure to recommend your services to any and all future applicants that I meet.
Hi Karen!
I feel like my interview went well! Well enough that I was one of the lucky applicants that got chosen for the job with Surrey Fire Rescue.
Thanks for your help and I will recommend your services to people pursuing a career in the fire service! May 2022
