Testimonials
I worked with Tom on updating my resume in preparation for applying to graduate schools and management consulting firms. I would highly recommend working with him to anyone hoping to update their resume and showcase their accomplishments. With Tom's coaching, I was able to transform my first draft into a concise, consistent, and clear resume that gave me confidence in applying to schools and jobs.
Tom will not only help you edit your resume points, but also teaches you his methodology for organizing your sentences and structuring your sections so that you will be well equipped to always present your work history in an optimal way. I am grateful for Tom's coaching and mentorship, and would recommend working with him without reservation.

“Prior to contacting Professor Mihok, I was using an online service provided by [my university] to review my resume as well as the career center. Both services seemed to help a bit with the structure of my resume; however, when applying for internships and diversity events, my resume did not receive much recognition.
After meeting with Professor Mihok a couple times during my fall semester, in addition to some feedback through email, the resume optimization techniques that were provided led to many interview invitations. Just a short few weeks after using Professor Mihok's resume optimization techniques, I accepted an offer with TD Bank in their commercial real estate division.
The techniques and tips that I received from Professor Mihok were the most comprehensive tips I have ever received and do not compare to any of the services I have used at [my university].”

“Professor Mihok’s resume optimization techniques were invaluable throughout my internship search. By helping me better optimize my resume, interviews became more frequent as it was reformatted to attract the reader’s attention to the most important sections first.
I was able to get in front of numerous interviewers, and ultimately choose an internship that best fits me. Without Professor Mihok’s help, I believe I would not have had so much interest in my resume and potential internships.”
—Michael, DA Davidson, Generalist Investment Banking Intern, New York, NY
