What Karin Has to Say

“What impact did you have in your last job or internship, and what value will you bring to our organization? Why should we hire you? Company recruiters seek answers to those key questions, and as you can imagine, they are not very different from what admissions directors want to know from prospective graduate students. I can help you prepare effective essays and applications as well as prepare for admissions interviews by coaching you on how to answer those questions.

Preparing admissions applications is hard work. If you take time now to strategically think about who you are, what you bring to the table, and what you want for your future, you will be far ahead of many of your peers. I really enjoy my clients – they are so interesting – and many of them keep in touch with me for years after we work together. My goal is to help them demonstrate their unique experiences and skills, what drives them, and ultimately to get accepted!”
