Jeff B. – Chief Executive Officer

“I have been a client of Carol for more than a decade. Her work is impeccable. Her process is efficient and thorough. Having served as a retained recruiter, Carol offers excellent insight for job search strategies. I strongly recommend her for resume writing and LinkedIn profile writing. She has the demonstrated ability to deliver an extraordinary work product and make her clients stand out from the crowd. For that reason alone, I would never consider anyone else for these services.”

Kirk C. - Vice President of Sales

“Just an update on my job search: In the past couple of weeks, I have had 4 written offers and accepted a new position. Also, I have recommended your service to 2 other people. Thanks for all your help! Well worth it!”

Mike c. - President & CEO

“Carol has created the perfect search offering for any candidate to take full advantage of everything available today. Her background in search and recruiting allows her to help you create an outstanding marketing tool for your job search (a very professional, well written and keyword rich resume) and train you in all the latest techniques in search using some of the best tools in the industry, starting with LinkedIn. She is very sharp, easy to work with and creates a great work dynamic for her and her client to work within.

Without a doubt, I would highly recommend her and her company when searching for these types of programs. She is very perfection driven and works very hard on behalf of her clients so that they win in the market with their search efforts.”

Holly A. - Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

“Hi Carol, I had a first interview today with a talent acquisition person from within the company I was speaking to. So not an agency. She mentioned that they had over 800 resumes for the position and that the CEO hand-picked mine. Kudos to you for a GREAT job!“

Manoj M. - Global Head of Innovation

“I just wanted to update you that I have now started my own venture. It is an AI-driven platform, focused on information, to help optimize risk.

I also got a couple of other offers in the meantime, including a COO role with my former employer's key competitor, but decided to go the entrepreneurial way. I know I am taking a risk but can't wait to get going with this idea!!

Thank you very much for helping me streamline my CV and online profile. This was tremendously helpful in making the desired impact with the co-investors, stakeholders, and headhunters.”

Marinaldo A. – Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

“Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with many people that were kind enough to give me more than I could ever give back to them. Carol is one of these people. She worked with me, making sure she completely understood all of my goals and objectives, and, with her unique way, found strengths and identified opportunities I was not seeing. She is a dedicated person that will deliver what she promised on time and with quality. It was a pleasure to partner with her, and I recommend Carol to anyone looking to have their LinkedIn profile and executive bio elevated to the next level.”

Gregory M. - Logistics & Supply Chain Executive

“I have no patience for strategy that sounds good but delivers nothing. When I engaged Carol to evaluate our executive positioning and corporate branding, she brought what I can only describe as High-Fidelity Auditing — the kind of rigorous, market-grounded clarity that is genuinely rare in this space.

Carol does not sugarcoat. She draws on deep recruiting expertise to cut straight through the noise and identify exactly how a leader needs to show up for maximum impact. Her mindset is zero-fail. Her process is direct, analytical, and precise. She does not translate your experience into just a narrative — she excavates what is already there and sharpens it until it cannot be ignored.

Any Founder, C-suite executive, or senior leader looking for a polite nod should look elsewhere. If you want the uncompromising truth about your professional presence — and a strategist skilled enough to do something about it — Carol is the asset you need in your corner.”

Uday D. - President & Chief Transformation Officer (CTO)

“I had the privilege of working with Carol on my executive positioning strategy, and the experience was amazing. Carol has an exceptional ability to draw out achievements and impact that I hadn't fully articulated before. Through her thoughtful questioning and strategic approach, she helped me connect the dots between what I've accomplished, the tangible value I've delivered to organizations, and what truly energizes me professionally.

Carol helped to articulate past accomplishments into a compelling narrative for future opportunities. She helps you see your own career through a strategic lens and position yourself with clarity and confidence. I would recommend her services to any executive who wants to take the next step in their career.”

Frank B. - Chief Operating Officer (COO)

“I have known and worked with Carol multiple times over the last several years when I was searching for new opportunities. She is an absolute delight to work with, and I can say without hesitation that she is the best in her field. After the initial introduction, Carol will write your Resume and Executive Bio in such a way that will absolutely crush your competition and get you that next opportunity. It worked for me. Thanks Carol!”

Greg G. - CEO, Board Director & Executive Consultant

"I cannot tell you how valuable it has been for me to have you as a resume writer and coach throughout this process. As a senior executive that participated in many potential employee interviews, I always knew when a candidate did their homework. Carol not only constructed a very detailed and succinct resume for me but also assisted me in preparing for interviews during my executive job search. She coached me by preparing a diverse and complex series of questions hand tailored to the high-level jobs I was interviewing for. Her expertise in prepping me for interviews allowed me to be confident and prepared for every question that came up. Carol did a great job reminding me of all of my accomplishments, bolstering my confidence and making the interview process as enjoyable as possible. She also sent follow-up notes of encouragement, and I always felt that I had her complete support throughout this arduous process. I recommend her services to anyone who wants to present themselves in the very best light to potential employers."

Greg M. - Vice President, Sales

“I was fortunate enough to work with Carol Sosalla at Hit Interview and I have found her to be an exceptional talent for translating complex career histories into sharp, executive-level resumes. She possesses a deep understanding of the recruiting industry and modern hiring trends. The resume Carol built for me was not only visually clean, but expertly positioned me for leadership roles. Carol took the time to understand my background, goals and built a personalized path for me to achieve success. I highly recommend Carol Sosalla to anyone needing a strategic career partner.”

Ash M. - Chief Data & Information Officer (CDIO)

“When I was looking for my next role and really wanting to step up the impact I could make, Carol helped me craft my career pitch and made it highly effective. I soon had more opportunities than I could even cope with. Carol improved my resume, LinkedIn profile and played the role of my executive coach through mock interviews, making sure I had a compelling message. Work with Carol if you feel you are ready for the big league!”

Elle L. – UX & HFE Research Leader

“I engaged Carol in 2021 to help me prepare for an interview at Google. I had struggled with interviewing in the past, but I received an offer and was hired for the role. In 2023, I again worked with Carol on interview prep for opportunities I was pursuing. After 8 previous first interviews at Apple had previously stalled out, I advanced to round 2 for the first time. The following week, I also interviewed with and received an offer from Meta.

Carol helped to highlight my weaknesses and turn them into strengths, giving me a level of confidence I had not felt before. The mock interview questions replicated the actual experience so accurately that when I went into the real interviews, it felt like I’d been there before. I fully recommend Carol and Hit Interview. The training was indispensable and will continue to serve me in the future.”

Nichole H. - Senior Director, Healthcare Technology

“I wanted to reiterate how much I appreciate your expertise, guidance, and end-to-end process in transforming my resume and LinkedIn profile, plus also demonstrating how to fully utilize the power of LinkedIn. Your questionnaire process is brilliant! In the beginning, I wondered how it was possible to tailor my 6-page behemoth resume into 2 pages without compromising history. The answer is your process - your questionnaire forced me to focus on what's critical for people to know about me. You took my responses and created a clear, concise resume that captures my story without sacrificing anything. My resume is 100% more impactful because people are actually reading it! Thank you for showing me the way!”

Glen F. - Managing Partner, Marketing & Innovation

“There are many people in the business of writing resumes and providing job search advice—but none of them compare to Carol. This isn’t just a business for her—it’s a quest to help you, and she offers much more than the transactional relationship I’ve experienced from others in this field.

She partners with you, and coaches you in a way that leaves you better off. She doesn’t just add in some power phrases and keywords to your resume and LinkedIn profile—through an in-depth interview process she carefully crafts a targeted and concise description of your value, designed to appeal to your audience. In addition, she provides insight and guidance so you can be successful in your search after her work is done.

And Carol is diligent about her work—she schedules carefully and delivers promptly. It is the optimal blend of efficiency, support, and output that can quickly get you on the right track.

Engage with Carol—you’ll be glad you did!”

Chris D. - Head of Product & Technology

“I wanted to reach out and thank you again for the excellent resume-building process! I am happy to share that I landed a director-level position at one of the largest media companies in the world, and this resume got me to the top of the stack for tons of interviews!

I'm so pleased to have worked with you. It was a total success. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a happy new year! Many thanks!”

Ben B. - CHRO / Chief People Officer

“Carol has been taking care of my resume and updates for almost 10 years. She is more than someone just putting words on paper to help you organize your career. Her thoughtful approach from the 1:1 conversation to the homework assignment that helps you focus on the impactful successes you might miss doing it on your own. Resumes are key to your brand, especially on platforms like LinkedIn, let her professional approach keep your accomplishments up front, even if you are not in a job search. If you are in a job search, she will take a load of stress off of you and always gives great guidance in how to attack a search in today’s market.”

Gary P. - President, Fintech

“Hi Carol, I wanted to drop you a short note and say “Thank you!” for rehabbing my resume. I’m delighted with the final version. The fact is, I’d not updated my resume since selling my company and I needed a fresh perspective. Carol, you were exceptional at word-smithing my background to craft the right message for a guy with extensive start-up and big company experience as well as important and relevant charitable affiliations. Also, you expressed this using a presentation style that is current and ideal for a C-level executive.”

Robert B. - Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

“Hey Carol, it’s pretty crazy, but when we finished the process and updated my LinkedIn profile - wow, the messages from headhunters jumped to a whole other level. I saw 3x the inbound activity after you completed your work on my profile.”

Joe C. - Vice President, Fundraising & Operations

“Carol completely re-branded me and all of my professional information including my Executive Resume, Cover Letters, Executive Bio and LinkedIn Profile. I contacted Carol after working through my career search for a year and a half, with no successes. Shortly after Carol completed her work, I was offered multiple jobs and now have secured an awesome new position because of her. And the inquiries keep coming! If you are thinking about a transition, or know of someone looking to make a move – they can only benefit from Carol and her team.”

Tom C. - Vice President, Enterprise

“Carol is a true professional with deep knowledge of what interviewers are looking for in the ideal candidate. I’ve had Carol assist me in anticipating interview questions and in direct and mock interview preparation. Her partnership has given me great confidence during live interviews. I highly recommend Carol’s services!”

Rodrigo R. - SVP, Head of Product

“I have had the opportunity to use Hit Interview’s services several times for my resume, LinkedIn profile, search training, and other special projects to advance my career. Carol has been amazing and extremely diligent in truly understanding my situation, career path, successes, challenges, and aspirations. She conducts an extensive and thorough assessment of the candidate she is working with to formulate a winning strategy. She is incredible in helping not only with resumes, LinkedIn, and executive interview prep, but also in helping a candidate build the confidence, based on facts, to tackle any opportunity.”

Charlie B. - Chief Operating Officer (COO)

“Working with Carol Sosalla at Hit Interview has been a transformative experience for my professional development. From our first session, I was struck by the exceptional level of preparation she brings to the table; her training is incredibly thorough and has made me feel equipped for a variety of scenarios. Beyond her technical expertise, Carol displays a genuine care and investment in my success that is rare to find. She doesn’t just provide coaching; she provides a competitive edge rooted in deep industry insight. I now view Carol as an indispensable asset and a lifelong partner for the rest of my career, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone serious about leveling up.”

Joe S. - Executive Vice President (EVP)

“I had the pleasure of working with Carol on my LinkedIn profile and related services. Her guidance and professionalism were extraordinary. I have many years of executive experience in financial services with multiple firms and want to transition my career to executive coaching. She worked diligently with me through questionnaires and follow-up conversations to glean my personal value proposition and helped frame the profile and the narrative to put my message out there—the way I wanted it. It was genuine and so well said. Even before I launched my new venture, I already had two clients and others showing interest—largely based on my LinkedIn profile. She is simply the best at what she does, and I highly recommend her services.”

John B. - Senior Operations Executive

“I just wanted to reach out with some good news and tell you how much the resume has helped me during a tough time in this difficult job market.

I was selected to interview immediately and hired after several rounds of interviews. The Director of HR was blown away by how detailed and organized my resume was and how it painted the picture of my corporate journey.

This new position is the perfect fit. At nearly double the salary from my last role, it’s by far the most money I have ever had for compensation—it’s not even close!

Who knows where I would be without your help? I’m so thankful I worked with you!”

Adriana A. - PR & Communications Leader

“As I was reflecting afterward, I realized this is the fourth role you've helped me prepare for. Every session has helped me grow not just as an interviewee, but as a leader. I'm truly grateful for your guidance and support. I wanted to share that I signed my offer letter today and that my start date will be August 30! I sincerely appreciate you and the work you do!”

Vincent N. - Vice President, Healthcare Technology

“Over the past year I have received many interviews based on my resume. Although I know it is the experience and education that ultimately made their decision; the style and organization of the content, I feel, played a large role in getting it in front of the right people. Before using your services, I was not getting any interviews.

I have recently accepted an Executive-level position with a Fortune 10 corporation. During the first interview, the hiring manager commented on my excellent resume, which got his attention.

The only regret that I have is that I did not pay for your interview and other services initially because I might have actually gotten my dream-role sooner!"

Wendy T. - Digital Marketing Director

“I just wanted to tell you that I got a job offer in February and just started last week. It is the best job with the most money I have ever made. I wanted to thank you for all your help and guidance. Very happy!”

DERYL W. - General Counsel

“Just a note of sincere thanks. I've been following your instructions since we last spoke. All the feedback on the resume has been great. I've passed along your name to several recruiters and others that asked who helped me put together such a persuasive resume.

I have interviews this week with a major international law firm as well as a Fortune Global 500 company to discuss potential opportunities in the compensation range I am targeting.”

Rick M. – General Manager (GM), North America

“In a nutshell, working with Carol is a pleasure. She managed to take in a diverse twenty-plus-year data dump and transform the minutia and color into concise, articulate, and polished marketing communications. She has a proven process that works.

After interviewing several firms, I chose Carol because of the level of individual attention she values as well as the enthusiasm she demonstrated by showing sincere interest in my story. Hit Interview is clearly not a boilerplate resume writing firm. Throughout the process, she was happy to coach, tweak and wordsmith with me. The finished product is reflective of my experience and complies with the digital media and search engine nuances needed to be successful in today’s marketplace.”

Russell K. - Technology Executive

“My job search has come to a successful end! After receiving multiple competing offers, I’m excited to be starting a new Senior Director role at one of my target companies. Your work on my resume and LinkedIn profile was excellent, and the LinkedIn and job search training have proved invaluable throughout the process. I put your strategies into practice throughout my search and have begun networking and building relationships inside my new organization before even starting the role. Thank you!”

Laura L. - Chief Networking Officer (CNO)

“Working with Carol was personally delightful and professionally rewarding. She took a 35+ year career and crafted a resume and profile that is relevant and to the point. She works really hard to articulate your strengths to perfection. I highly recommend her to others (and have!)”

Jordan G. – AVP, Partnerships

“Carol is a true professional. She made what seemed like a difficult process easy and even fun. She always seemed to go the extra mile. Was a joy to work with. A valued resource.”

S.G. - Talent Development Leader

“The methods and techniques that were used through the resume and search boot camp gave me the confidence to broaden my network. I received results in less than 24 hours of "going live" with my updated profile, resume and employment search techniques. This has been a great experience.”

Bruce H. – Vice President, Customer Experience

“If you are about to embark on a job search, I highly recommend you contract Carol’s services. She will conduct a comprehensive audit of your skills and background, exposing strengths you did not even know existed for you. The discussions and interviews will lead to the construction of a thoughtful and on-point resume. Most importantly, Carol is an expert on LinkedIn. She will assist you in creating your profile and navigating the nuances of LinkedIn to optimize your job search. Furthermore, Carol is very pleasant to work with, and she will reduce your anxiety with a sense of humor and dedication to you as a client. Please do yourself a favor and consider using Carol's expertise to bolster your career search.”

Bobby M. - Sales Manager

“I am an Enterprise Account Executive based in the Bay Area, specializing in B2B technology sales across various verticals. After being laid off, I faced a series of challenges in my job search. Despite applying to over 100 companies and securing numerous interviews, I struggled to close opportunities. I consistently made it to the final stages—often among the top 2-4 candidates—but ultimately, I was informed that the company was going in a different direction. This was, of course, discouraging.

Realizing I needed professional guidance to improve my interview skills, I sought out help. I learned about Carol through a friend of my wife, and after some initial correspondence, I reached out to her. We scheduled a one-hour session, which ended up running longer due to the valuable insights she shared. During our session, Carol not only reviewed my resume but also conducted a mock interview for an upcoming opportunity I had. She identified key areas for improvement, such as pacing my responses and varying my answers to provide more depth and clarity.

Her advice was transformative. I made the adjustments she recommended and tailored my approach to the company, and after four weeks and multiple interviews, I received the offer I had been hoping for.

Throughout the interview process, Carol continued to offer support and encouragement, boosting my confidence and providing valuable guidance along the way. I am grateful for her mentorship and am excited to begin my new Sales Manager role.

Carol is a seasoned professional with vast experience, and her coaching proved invaluable. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to improve their interview performance and secure their next opportunity. I am confident that her expertise will make a difference for others as it did for me."

John J. - Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Financial Technology

“Carol is a top-notch professional. Her experience and expertise have been invaluable to me as I move on to the next stage of my career. Her process is thorough and diligent and gets results. I highly recommend her.”

K.A. - Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Executive

“Thanks to Carol, I landed my DREAM job! And it’s the right fit. Carol asks the right questions through an in-depth interview process and listens deeply. She helped me find ways to truly speak to my craft with sophistication and grace. Carol helped me pivot from one industry to another while finding common elements that could bridge the two, be highlighted, and expanded upon. She is a true coach and gave me great tips on how to network and create a wider scope of business contacts. I highly recommend working with Carol.”

Jerry R. - SVP of Marketing

“It was a true pleasure working with Carol on my career search. Carol is a real mentor and coach. She leans in and helps on all aspects of a career search. The value she brings far outstrips the cost. Highly recommended!"

Tim M. - Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

“Carol has always been an absolute joy to work with. Originally, a friend recommended her to me and over the last few years, I've gone back to her several times to update my resume, prepare for an important interview, and strengthen how I present my experience for my next role. Each interaction with her always makes me think deeply about myself and has never felt cookie-cutter. She has helped me to understand the best of me and how to articulate that, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to others.”

EVAN K. - VICE PRESIDENT, Digital Marketing

“I’ve been so busy working over the past years, I hadn’t taken the time to market myself. I entrusted Carol to help me get my career accomplishments in order. As a digital marketer, I understand the importance of search engine optimization and today’s job search requires the same of our online career profiles. Carol created a keyword rich profile that enabled me to be found by the right hiring managers and recruiters.

The results? I had been applying with my legacy resume throughout the build process and did not even get a single response. Upon receiving the updated resume and profile, I had an inquiry within 3 days. My profile views in LinkedIn went through the roof and I moved from the top 16% of all my connections to top 8%. Within my company, I moved from the top 10% to the top 1%. Bottom line… Carol knows what she is doing!”

Steve P. - Culinary Operations Executive & Corporate Chef

“I wanted to thank you for the work you did on my resume, bio, and profile, as it was truly a pleasure to work with you! Your sincere and genuine approach to helping me build my brand while highlighting my accomplishments was greatly appreciated. The interest you took in getting to know me as well as what I was looking to achieve was a surprise, creating a welcomed sense of partnership on this project. I look forward to continuing our professional relationship as my career continues to evolve thanks to you and the work you provided!”

Matt H. - Vice President of Sales

“I have enlisted Carol’s expertise on several occasions over the last decade. She is the best at translating a career story into something professional, concise, and compelling. In addition, pairing her LinkedIn optimization services with the resume build is a perfect complement to her craft. I can’t recommend Carol enough. She always exceeds expectations!”

Greg M. - President & Co-founder, Big Data

“Carol is a highly insightful person, highly experienced in social media and online recruiting practices. Her patient yet straight forward approach to educating her clients and enhancing their use of social media has been invaluable to me and the clients I continue to refer to her. You will see results immediately from her work.”

JOSH W. - General Corporate Counsel

“You continue to rock. The feedback from both the resume and LinkedIn has been overwhelming. Once LinkedIn went up, I had 5 interviews in 4 days. Thanks for all of your help!”

Rich B. - Enterprise Sales Executive

“I reached out to Carol for executive coaching and interview preparation as I prepared to transition into a new role. Having never worked with an executive coach before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Carol immediately brought clarity, focus, and calm to the process. She listens, evaluates, leads from the front, and combines empathy with a strong instinct for identifying exactly where to focus. She simplified what could have been an overwhelming career transition, helped eliminate wasted effort and over-preparation, and pushed me toward the actions that mattered most. Carol is the real deal, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to position themselves for new career opportunities.”

Jeff C. - President & CEO, Enterprise Software

“Carol’s help was extremely beneficial in communicating how I can add value to potential clients and employers. She is a gifted communicator who is skilled at making sure the right message is delivered.

Since utilizing Carol’s services, my profile views and contacts from potential clients and recruiters have increased significantly. I secured a new advisory role as a result of the increased attention, and have several strong leads in the funnel.

I also enjoyed the warm and pleasant manner in which Carol pointed out many areas where I was communicating the wrong message without knowing it. It is hard to deliver constructive feedback, and Carol is an expert at it.”

Steve G. - VP & Brand Ambassador

“Carol grasped the scope of my work experience and prepared a dynamic resume. She took the time necessary to speak with me to fully understand my accomplishments and career goals.”

Joel C. - Founder & CTO

“I followed your advice. I reached out to a Senior Vice President using your intro email from our training session. He got right back to me! I mailed the same guy last year and didn’t hear a word. Unreal.”

Carter P. - President, Finance & Transportation

“Carol is a true professional. She delivers a high quality product and her advice was incredibly insightful and relevant. I found her to be reliable as to deliverables and she met every deadline. Could not be happier with her work!”

Willie L. - Global Strategy and Innovation Executive

“The two-year coaching engagement with Carol was a great experience! I recommend Carol for any senior or executive leader requiring a coach to help highlight their accomplishments and professional experiences on their resume, executive bio, and LinkedIn profile. In addition, Carol assisted with analyzing various cultures of my targeted firms and industries to ensure there was proper alignment with my overall growth needs creating a “Win-Win,” situation for all parties involved. I look forward to our continued partnership.”

Jeff S. - Founder & EVP, Retail Analytics & eCommerce

“Carol did a great job with my personal LinkedIn profile, as well as putting together a resume for my daughter who had just graduated from college. I highly recommend Carol to make your LinkedIn profile look its best.”

Mike L. - Regional Vice President

“After 20+ years in the workforce and a couple job searches under my belt from times past, I felt ready to tackle my current job search. As a hiring manager myself I was armed with the knowledge of what effective and poor resumes looked like. I had great prior experiences and successes to tout, and my career reflected an upward trajectory. I was confident I would find something great quickly which was bolstered by the outplacement services provided by my prior employer (one of the blue-chip OSPs in the industry).

Almost a year of searching came and went with only a couple opportunities along the way. Frustration and anxiety increased as the months went by. I was doing everything the outplacement firm taught me to do, and the OSP provided me with their “certified effective resume.” I didn’t understand why I was having such a difficult time finding my next opportunity…until I found Carol Sosalla and her company Hit Interview!

I didn’t know Carol, but after connecting with her on LinkedIn, reading about her and her company, and speaking on the phone with her briefly, I knew after 10 minutes that she could reignite my job search campaign by dramatically improving my marketing tools, give me the motivation I needed to retrench and relaunch my campaign, and most importantly, help me understand how to job search in the current market rather than 1999 like I had been instructed in the past. Let’s face it, much has changed in the business world over the last 25 years, but job search has changed tremendously in just the last 3-5 years. Carol is highly in tune with those changes, and has the knowledge and expertise that will help you conduct an effective job search in today’s, competitive, and highly automated job market. She is not only knowledgeable, but she is supremely professional. She commits to and delivers on her deadlines. The only surprise you’ll get from her is when the quality of her deliverables are beyond your expectations.

If you’re conducting a job search today, are you going to hire a resume writer whose methods and techniques are stale and ineffective, or are you going to hire someone who is in tune with what works today? I made a great choice in hiring Carol. Don’t make a bad choice – your career is at stake!”

Stan G. – EVP, Operations & Supply Chain

“Hi, hope you are doing well. As an FYI, I just signed an offer. I know it’s been a while, but I’ve been pretty selective about the type of work I wanted to do. I have actually turned down a few offers over the past couple of months.

Thank you again for all your assistance. I truly appreciate it!”

MARCUS L. - Security & Safety Operations Executive

“Carol, I just wanted to let you know that I am starting my new role on Monday. Thank you for all your help! I passed on a couple of opportunities and received more positive feedback than I had ever had before working with you. I absolutely know that the new resume was key in unlocking the door for this position.”

SANTIAGO C. - Global Sales Executive

“What sets Carol apart from others is her effort to get to know the nuts and bolts of your experience. She does this by not only establishing a collaborative partnership with you, she creates a proprietary customized questionnaire tailored to your experience, accomplishments, and successes provided to her from not only your resume, but from your LinkedIn profile as well. She is then able to create an impactful story through a revised resume format that will resonate with hiring managers, recruiters, and most importantly, is ATS (applicant tracking system) compliant. It is through her business model that I landed my new career with an established, respected, and the largest luxury multi-brand hotel operator in the world.”

Tom C. - Founder & CEO, FinTech

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Carol for her work with our organization. Carol never misses a deadline. She is focused and changed the dynamic of our company LinkedIn profile. She was quick to grasp what we were all about and presented that information in the most professional manner. We were extremely pleased with her work.”

KEVIN U. - VP, Enterprise Sales

“The resume and LinkedIn changes you provided are already paying big dividends! I have had a number of inquiries and interviews which have come from those reviewing my LinkedIn profile. One of those companies is in fact LinkedIn!! Nothing could be a better endorsement of your work than that. Thank you.”

Anthony A. - Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

“Hit Interview will always be my top choice for career related services. I asked Hit Interview to help me redesign my resume following a string of disappointments by several resume writers. Carol, Hit Interview’s CEO, personally worked with me to transform my resume and put my job search back on track.

Carol is very professional, thorough, courteous and trustworthy. I particularly found her resume questionnaire tool very effective at helping me to think through my accomplishments and achievements. Her friendly disposition helped me to open up about my job search aspirations, which helped me immensely in providing quality answers. Carol effectively manages delivery expectations by setting the deadlines and meeting them without excuses. Given my past experiences, that was a breath of fresh air.

I am so pleased with the excellent job she’s done on my resume. The whole experience of working with her and the quality of resume she produced exceeded my expectations. The natural thing for me to do was to ask her to also rewrite my official executive bio and cover letter, and that is what I did.”

Gerald R. – Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

“It was a true pleasure working with Carol on my career search. Carol is a real mentor and coach. She leans in and helps with all aspects of a career search. The value she brings far outstrips the cost. Highly recommended!”

Mike D. - Vice President of Sales

“Focused, calculated, and strategic are the three words that immediately come to mind when I think of Carol Sosalla. She is absolutely remarkable when it comes to putting together a game plan strategy to help enable you to market yourself the right way to the right people at the same time. Carol did a phenomenal job with my LinkedIn profile, resume, and cover letter. Her uncanny skill to design a portfolio for me was lifesaving for me. I had been involved with other people that claim they can do what Carol did for me, but they could not carry her lunch when it comes to putting together the right pieces of information I provided her, in the right places to gain the most powerful impact possible from a marketing standpoint for myself looking for a new job opportunity.

Carol’s ability to do things when she says she is going to do things as far as scheduling appointments, calls, or to do actions on her behalf were second to none. It was quite wonderful to just provide Carol with all the information I could regarding myself and my current situation, and to see her develop not only a strategy, Carol produced the most articulate resume for me, which included all of the keywords or phrases search engines recognize when they sort through all of the thousands of resumes online.

Lastly, I would like to say that not only am I thrilled with what Carol has done for me, but her professional behavior, along with her comforting sense of humor, was “priceless.”

Jim P. - Head of Digital Products

“Carol is a pleasure to work with. She takes the time to know the client and collaborates to help accentuate the most relevant qualities hiring parties need. What I enjoy the most is her candor, nuanced insights, and staying with you. My journey is not yet complete; from intake to now exploring my next chapter, she has been a great teammate to have along for the ride.”

Ron S. – Senior Vice President

“Carol is a true professional who knows how to extract the right info from the right person to get the right resume for your next assignment. She is a true pro and I recommend her highly.”

Jon D. - Chief Marketing Officer

“Working with Carol proved to be the best decision I have made this year. Her skill in understanding where I’ve been and where I was heading was incredible. Leveraging her experience in digital networking as well as trusting her expertise on the importance and health of your personal brand proved to be priceless as I started the search for my next opportunity.

I would highly recommend Carol as the partner of choice as your next career strategist.”

Mark D. - Law Firm Partner, Commercial Litigation

“Carol brings much more to the table than just helping to develop an excellent resume and LinkedIn profile. Her in depth knowledge of networking and the recruiting, hiring, and search process makes her an invaluable ally for anyone seeking to make a job or career change. She will help you make the best use of your time in finding opportunities, and help you make a solid presentation when you find them.

Carol’s telephone conference helped with my interview immensely – even though the interviewer didn’t ask behavioral questions, I was still able to work the points we developed together into the conversation. The interviewer kept saying: “Oh, you just so totally get it – you’ll be perfect for this job.” I assume that interviewers don’t make statements like that when they are thinking in the back of their minds that they’ll have to move on to the next candidate pronto.”

Ryan C. - Sales & Technology Leader

“In 2023, I was referred to Carol Sosalla for professional resume services. What I didn't realize at the time was the fact that Carol was so much more than helping me with my resume. Carol has a process that she puts all of her potential clients through, and it is by design. She took the time to get to know me, and to gather a deep understanding of what my goals and ambitions were for both my next career move as well as planning for the years to come. After only 6 months of working with Carol on my resume, LinkedIn profile, and interviewing acumen, I was able to land a new position within an organization I was targeting. For anyone looking for professional resume services and advice on how to have a great LinkedIn profile, I highly recommend you reach out to Carol Sosalla and inquire about how she can help. It certainly helped me and I could not be more grateful.”

Phil M. - Brand Creative Director

“I was having difficulty telling my own story—ironic, given that telling stories is what I do for a living. Fortunately, I found Carol. Simply by asking the right questions, Carol teased out of me all sorts of things that I’d either underestimated the importance of or outright forgotten. With that information in hand, Carol crafted an entirely new resume for me that actually made me look as qualified as I believed I was. Interest and attention in me immediately went up and I have her to thank for it. So thanks, Carol.”

DEMETRIOS S. - Senior Vice President, Technology

“Carol’s expertise has been transformational in effectively branding myself and helped to “dial in” all the critical communications during my job search. During the interactive process to develop my LinkedIn profile and the associated training- I gained important insights on everything from getting the right professional photo, to leveraging social selling techniques to boost my online job search. With a new Executive Bio, Resume and LinkedIn Profile, I’m confident in what I’m doing, and have been much more effective in the use of my time.”

Henry S. - Chief Executive Officer

“I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to Carol Sosalla, who is an exceptional executive resume writer and has played a pivotal role in refining my executive profile and professional image. I've worked with Carol multiple times over the last several years, and it's been a remarkable experience.

She worked diligently to distill my experiences and skills into a compelling and concise resume and LinkedIn profile, each fully aligned with my goals. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to understanding my objectives made the entire process seamless and very productive. In addition, as an experienced Executive Recruiter and Career Coach, she has provided guidance, tips, and suggestions that have been valuable in advancing my search.

If you want to elevate your professional brand or seek a competitive advantage in your job search, I cannot recommend Carol Sosalla with Hit Interview enough. Her expertise in resume development and career progression practices is invaluable.”

John K. - Vice President, Product Development & Engineering

“Everyone is busy, and looking for the perfect company, but it is hard to change gears and put a resume and social media package together for your target companies that will make an impact. With a plethora of resume services out there, which one do you choose and can trust? Well Carol Sosalla was a diamond in a pile of coal that made an impact for my career search. Carol’s extreme knowledge, experience and professionalism made this journey a lot easier than I thought it would be. I have never been happier and feel extremely confident now that my profile is ready to rock.

Thanks Carol for making this a pleasant experience. You have my full recommendation and I will be telling others about your service.”

Bryan S. - Chief security officer / Risk, Resiliency, & Corporate Security Leader

“While I’ve always been a strong networker with a deep background of success in a number of roles, I’ve never been very good at telling my story effectively through my resume or LinkedIn profile.

Carol was able to quickly understand my professional goals, my current skill set, and what I would need to portray publicly in order to achieve those goals. She crafted a resume, updated my LinkedIn profile, and generated a cover letter template that has gotten results every single time I’ve applied for a role.

In a matter of just a few weeks, using the material that Carol prepared – along with the skills she taught me in a brief training session – I’ve had a number of interviews for roles that were a great fit for my goals.

I would highly recommend Carol for anyone considering pursuing a new role!”

Wayne G. - CHRO

“I had the pleasure of working with Carol late last year. She was easy to work with and really produced a top-notch resume and LinkedIn profile for me. I was beyond pleased with the results! While I have worked with other professionals in the same capacity in the past, I would definitely return to Carol. I had several recruiting consultants make highly positive comments on the content and presentation of my resume. Thanks, Carol!”

Michael M. - Vice President, Business Development

“I have always been reluctant to hire someone to help with my career search. After reviewing Carol’s web site and an initial consultation, I decided to take a leap a faith. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

Carol can help any level person navigate all aspects of the career search process, providing insider tips on resume screening, LinkedIn networking and how to search for and then research a position. She does all of this expediently, with a wealth of knowledge & expertise and for a price which is a phenomenal value. Unlike the piranhas out there, Carol does not charge by your wealth or expected earnings, rather an extremely reasonable flat fee for service performed.

In just the few days since my LinkedIn profile has been up and running I am seeing a huge increase both in quantity and quality of profile views. I cannot recommend Carol highly enough.”

Fred H. - Director, Inside Sales

“Carol has been a tremendous partner on my journey to update and reflect upon my past accomplishments and to plan for future opportunities/endeavors. Carol is a true professional who puts her clients first, delivers on time, and with her creative perspective, sets her clients up for success and to stand out from the crowd. She is one of those rare gems that not only takes the time to listen, but to truly understand- which in my book is priceless. I highly recommend Carol to anyone seeking a career coach.”

Georgine M. - CEO

“I have worked with Carol for 5 years and look forward to the next 5 or more. She is organized, professional, and has a way of teasing out the right message to get attention. Highly recommend!”

Steve E. - Chief executive officer (CEO)

“Carol is a real pro when it comes to LinkedIn and resume writing. She thinks outside the box and gets things done well, when she says she will. She is a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend Carol.”

David G. - Director, Business Development

“I have had the experience of working directly with Carol on the branding and presentation of my career path materials, including my resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile and strategic career advice. When I was introduced to Carol my first impression was personable, polished and professional. Carol uncovers all of the important details in your background and creates a truly customized profile for your career search needs. You can cut corners on some things in life but not your career search, the image created puts you on top of the stack which is highly necessary in this competitive market. I HIGHLY recommend Carol to help with your success.”

Michael K. - Managing Director

“Carol has performed an excellent job in assisting me in updating the necessary resume / LinkedIn profile and strategy to prepare me for board of director opportunities. Most professional and timely in the work performed. Strongly recommend her skills to others.”

Richard H. - Senior Innovation Designer & UX Strategist

“Carol brought a breath of confidence into my search efforts. “To believe in myself and that my past accomplishments were a meaningful story to tell.”

She was able to provide top-notch deliverables and professional training that refined my message and targeted my goals. She listened carefully from the beginning, crafting custom questions, and then worked with me to formulate a compelling profile and resume. In addition, she guided me through the process for an effective interview execution. The result was a new position within two months, far exceeding my original goals.

I cannot fully express my gratitude and new found confidence in the marketplace. I would recommend Carol’s services to any of my colleagues who want to advance in their next career endeavors.”

Allison N. - President, Technology

“My interview was a comfortable and well-aligned discussion. They asked me a number of the questions we prepared for. I think our interview prep session was extremely helpful!”

Michael S. – Head of Sales

“I was reintroduced to LinkedIn by Carol Sosalla, who not only developed an actual "grown-up" resume, an executive bio, and now my speaker bio, but who showed me all that this resource can do when you nurture your online presence. Since meeting Carol, I have sent numerous people her way.”

Craig D. - Product Enablement Executive

“After 17 years at the same large software company, I found myself navigating a job market that had changed dramatically since I'd last looked. Carol Sosalla was exactly the guide I needed. She took the time to truly understand my experience and helped me transform it into a compelling, high-level leadership resume and LinkedIn profile that spoke directly to what today's employers are looking for. Her professionalism and responsiveness made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and even energizing.

Carol provided invaluable coaching on the specific actions I needed to take to maximize my chances of landing a comparable or better role. Her knowledge of the current job market was evident at every step. The results speak for themselves - I was hired by an incredible organization where I'm able to utilize my past experience, and I'm part of a team that I'm very proud and humbled to be part of.

I would recommend Carol without hesitation to any senior professional ready to make their next career move.”

Mahesh B. - Founder, AI Executive & Strategic Technology Advisor

“Carol did a fantastic job in helping me convey my 20+ year career story in a much more impactful manner than I could have ever done myself. I was really impressed by the systematic process she followed to get to the final work product (an updated resume and LinkedIn profile). Since first working with Carol, I have recommended her to several of my close friends and colleagues, and I will continue to do so in the future as well!”

Paula S. - Project Manager

“Remember the hidden job market? Carol showed me how to find it in these new, social media, internet times. She is an absolute professional: Knows her business inside and out, is a fabulous trainer, and most important, she means what she says and says what she means. When she says she will deliver your document(s) to you on a certain day by a certain time, she does exactly that. I cannot begin to express the amazing job she did bringing out my skills and who I am professionally on my resume and LinkedIn profile. Similarly, the cover letter she wrote, along with the extensive instructions on how to use it properly, is fantastic. I have held many positions during the course of my career, and up until a few years ago, I was fairly skilled at finding employment. Carol turned a lot of what I knew on its head, and as a result, my job search is directed appropriately and my wheels have stopped spinning. If you need to find employment in this difficult economy, or are pursuing a promotion at your current company, you need Carol. In my estimation, she probably one of the best career coaches in the world.”

RICARDO L. - Vice President Consulting Services

“I’d like to thank you for your work on my resume and LinkedIn profile. The Hit Interview forms made me go back to results I had achieved in the past that I had forgotten. The final work was a results oriented resume that really shows off my accomplishments and my strengths in a clear way. I would do it again and recommend your services to anyone looking for a professional resume. Also, the suggestions and strategies to use the Internet during my searching process and how to contact executives were a nice added touch. Thank you.”

GERARD C. - chief executive officer

“Hope this message finds you well. I wanted to thank you for helping me out. I love the new job. When asked why they hired me, they said “everything in your summary.” Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks again.”

Ava M. - Founder & CEO

“Carol made the process of creating a polished, professional LinkedIn profile incredibly easy. The results have been amazing. My profile now presents me and my business far more effectively, has increased my visibility, and has contributed to tremendous revenue growth. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!”

Marc F. - SV, Marketing & Operations

“I have had the pleasure of working with Carol for over 10 years on multiple engagements. As I have navigated my career, she has been with me every step of the way, from optimizing my CV and Executive Bios, to coaching and mentorship.

Carol and her work have been instrumental in helping me identify (and be identified) for exciting career opportunities. She is extremely structured in her approach, and her process produces outstanding results. She is uniquely skilled at capturing one’s “essence” as a professional and translating it into an impactful and genuine story.

Carol is an incredible talent – dynamic, passionate, and direct – the best in the business at her trade.”Bruce H. – Vice President, Customer Experience

“If you are about to embark on a job search, I highly recommend you contract Carol’s services. She will conduct a comprehensive audit of your skills and background, exposing strengths you did not even know existed for you. The discussions and interviews will lead to the construction of a thoughtful and on-point resume. Most importantly, Carol is an expert on LinkedIn. She will assist you in creating your profile and navigating the nuances of LinkedIn to optimize your job search. Furthermore, Carol is very pleasant to work with, and she will reduce your anxiety with a sense of humor and dedication to you as a client. Please do yourself a favor and consider using Carol's expertise to bolster your career search.”

Brandan Q. - Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

“Carol was recommended to me by a close friend, and I will be forever grateful. Carol was highly professional and a sincere pleasure to work with throughout the process. More importantly however, she is extraordinarily knowledgeable and effective, and her work product is stellar.

It has been several months since I've worked with Carol, but I was compelled to circle back and write this recommendation due to the results I've experienced. Amazing.

If you are deciding whether to engage with Carol, get off the fence and do it. It will be one of the best decisions you'll make.”
