After Nii Ato's invaluable coaching, I was able to position my experience in such a way that I came out of an interview not only with an offer, but with a higher position than I was originally interviewing for. I have no doubt it was because of how he helped me put my best foot forward.

I have known Nii Ato socially for a number of years and I’ve always known him to be very thorough; so when I needed my resume updated I knew he was the right person to call. I expected Nii Ato to do a fine job, but didn’t expect to be “wowed,” which was the word I used when I saw the first draft. I’ve always heard your resume should tell your story and that’s exactly what Nii Ato did. He used my experiences in academia and pharma to construct a clear and concise story. Nii Ato was able to deliver my resume a day earlier than proposed without sacrificing quality. He was absolutely great to work with and I recommend him for any resume or career coaching needs; you’ll certainly be glad you made the call. It was such a pleasure working with you Nii Ato, thanks again.

I’ve been dreading a job search because working on my resume was what I considered a nightmare. Before working with Nii Ato, I was someone who lacked confidence and dreaded sharing my resume because I felt like it was generic and it didn’t represent me but thanks to Nii Ato, I can’t wait for my resume to get out there.
During our free consultation, it didn’t feel like your typical sales call and is one of the reasons why I chose to work with Nii Ato. He took the time to get to know me and my current situation and gave me the time to figure out the next steps. During the resume writing, he helped bring clarity to my achievements. He helped me get to the place where I can look at my past and get excited about my future. I now feel positive and confident sharing my resume and I no longer feel ashamed about it.
I enjoyed my experience during the resume writing and I recommend his service to anyone that is having a hard time writing their resume and job search. Job searching is a whole process and can be overwhelming. You can either spend hours and days looking at different resources and get overwhelmed or have Nii Ato by your side and work with someone who really cares and makes your resume represent YOU. I am very happy with my resume and had a blast deleting former versions. Not only did I get a new resume but I also learned how I can tell my stories more effectively during interviews. You helped me shine some light in the darkness that I was finding myself in, can’t thank you enough.
Rediet M.
Executive Assistant - Nonprofit
Before working with Nii Ato, I found it difficult and overwhelming to summarize the variety of experiences I’ve had for 8+ years, wearing multiple hats in the non-profit industry. Specifically, I found it difficult to articulate who I am and what I bring to the table through my resume in clear, concise, and purposeful ways.
Through the deep listening and guided questions that Nii Ato offered in my resume writing process, I feel empowered to share and claim my mission and the value I add as an administrative professional. What stands out to me about Nii Ato is his unique ability to honor the individual’s voice and story. Beforehand, I felt like my career experiences were scattered and random. With my new resume, I see how interconnected my experience is and how it adds to my uniqueness.
He provides examples, asks clarifying questions, and provides you with tools that equip you with skills to share your story in effective ways. Working with Nii Ato has paved a new path in my job search and has provided me with clear action-steps that make me feel confident in my ability to find a job that I will love.
I highly recommend Nii Ato and Avenir Careers services.

Nii Ato is an incredible coach. In addition to revising my resume and cover letter, he helped me rethink my entire approach to finding my next position. He encouraged me to start by discovering the ideal position for me, and then to pursue relevant opportunities with focus and passion. Soon after, I received an offer for a position that was ideal in terms of sector, function, location, and role. Nii Ato’s depth of knowledge, experience, and responsiveness were outstanding.

Noelia c.
Public Information Officer — Public Sector
I was fortunate enough to have a friend recommend Avenir Careers at the very start of my attempts to update my resume and I could not have asked for a more perfect beginning. Not everyone has the ability to describe the significance of what they do for a living, but Nii Ato did just that for me -- might I add with enthusiasm, patience and care. He's quite the wordsmith! My resume had a serious makeover and all of the "duties/tasks" that I listed were rewritten in such a way that truly expressed my value, contributions, and achievements with such finesse. Thank you for making what was first an unnerving process, a promising one! Highly recommended!
