"I had the opportunity to meet with my coach and she was fantastic. She had me explain what I did for each job listed on my resume, and gave me great advice on how to structure the resume to show how I contributed to the growth of that company/team. The resume she provided after the session is a major improvement over the one I had been using. She managed to help trim out the less important stuff and focus a lot on the training I had from the military and other jobs. She even provided me with additional feedback in an email following our meeting!" - Working Wardrobes Client Join us on Veteran's Day as we honor veterans and support more making the transition into civilian life.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Adrianna Ceballos at Working Wardrobes, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. Adrianna was my stylist for an interview clothing fitting, and from the moment I walked into the wardrobe shop, her professionalism and warmth put me at ease. Not only does she have an impeccable eye for sizing and style—she effortlessly selected two sharp and perfectly tailored interview outfits for me—but her genuine kindness and empathy truly stood out. Adrianna managed to make what could have been a stressful process feel empowering. Her friendly and supportive demeanor made me feel confident and ready to face the job search. She took the time to listen to my needs and preferences while providing expert guidance, ensuring I left with clothing that not only looked great but made me feel great as well." -Dustin
