Avalon Grade Solutions Reviews

Prior to reaching out to Josh at Avalon Grade, I was struggling to land interviews. I KNEW there was a disconnect between what I bring to the table and how I was presenting myself on paper. After my initial meeting with Josh, I felt empowered and more importantly educated on HOW to make my resume pop, to both fit ATS requires and capture the recruiters attention in the first 5-7 seconds. Since our initial discovery call Josh has been outstanding in his support, working with me to help pin point keywords and tailoring my resume to fit the job postings. I have applied to jobs with more confidence and have received an increase of 50% of employer outreach on applications I have submitted since starting to work with Josh. I cannot recommend his services enough, he truly cares about his clients success, and will go above and beyond to ensure he is providing maximum support.

I participated in Josh's PM Resume Webinar (through LinkedIn) which provided many useful tips & techniques. It was very valuable input I used to revise my resume to make it much more clear, concise & streamlined which I feel was instrumental in landing a permanent, full-time position recently after being unemployed for 6-months! I also met 1:1 w/Josh where he provided feedback to improve my LinkedIn profile along with feedback on modifications I had made to my resume, which he previously reviewed. I strongly recommend any Project Management professional currently in the job market to seek out Josh's services!

I cannot recommend Joshua enough! As a PM career coach, he goes above and beyond in every possible way. I initially connected with Joshua for resume feedback, and what I received was so much more. Joshua dedicated an incredible amount of time—well beyond what was scheduled—offering invaluable insights, tailored advice, and a level of genuine care that is hard to find. What started as a simple request for resume feedback turned into a comprehensive, in-depth session where Joshua not only reviewed my resume but also helped me understand how to strategically tailor it for specific job roles. He meticulously guided me through identifying and incorporating strategic keywords from job descriptions, ensuring that my resume would stand out to potential employers. His attention to detail is remarkable, and he has an innate understanding of what employers are looking for in a candidate. He didn’t just stop at providing feedback—he took the time to address my networking questions as well and gave amazing practical tips. His expertise in project management and resume writing is unparalleled, but it's his generosity and passion for helping others that truly set him apart. Joshua doesn’t just coach; he empowers you with the tools and confidence you need to succeed in your career. He’s also incredibly approachable, making the entire experience feel like you’re working with a trusted mentor rather than just a coach. If you are seeking a career coach who is not only incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented but also genuinely cares about your success, Joshua is the person you want by your side. He is a master at what he does, and I am immensely grateful for his generous help in my PM career journey.

Joshua has been a fantastic guide during my career pivot into project management. From our very first meeting, he was not only punctual and professional but also incredibly supportive. He patiently answered all my questions, often providing valuable insights I hadn't even considered. Joshua has a knack for breaking down complex concepts of talent acquisition and the essentials of transitioning into project management in a way that's easy to understand. He helped me dive deep into my past experiences and articulate them more effectively than I ever did before our meetings. One of our coaching sessions resulted in a resume that I never knew was possible. When I updated my LinkedIn with this resume, I had three recruiters reach out to me within 24 hours! His ongoing support feels like that of a close friend looking out for you, all while maintaining the professionalism and expertise of a seasoned pro.
