Kara is phenomenal to work with and I highly recommend following her guidance when you’re looking for advancement in your career.
Kara taught me how to tell the story of my career by writing my résumé in a way that took me through a process to identify remarkable achievements to highlight. Not only did this elevate the content of my resume, but it was fun to draw all those memories out into the spotlight.
She also has a great video series that served as a tutorial for insight into in all things HR and I found myself clicking next video repeatedly. If you’re in a place where you need guidance on career advancement and you’re lucky enough to know Kara, I highly recommend her services.

Kara and her team are life savers.
From the consultation call with Kara to determine what will work best for me, to working with her team to update my resume, their execution was flawless. They truly go above and beyond to ensure that you are satisfied.
There are very few people that I would wholeheartedly recommend when it comes to career coaching services - Kara and her team will always be one of them.

Very few people in this world can find a place for themselves where they can be a powerhouse of both professional expertise and real heartfelt empathy, digging into the details for immediate impact and zooming out to see the whole field to guide their business and their clients to long term success - Kara Dennison has done it.
Optimized Career Solutions offers courses and programs that can only be described as artfully curated to guide participants on a journey to both professional success and personal contentment.
She was wildly effective in guiding me through a job search journey that had previously felt impossible to me. She helped me to rewire negative thoughts, stop playing small and truly believe in myself. She forced me to face lies I was telling myself about my worth and my potential. And she did it all with kindness and genuine belief in me -- which finally transformed into my own belief in me.
The tangible body of work she puts out into the world is of the highest quality for job seekers, arming them with skills for a lifetime. The intangible body of work she puts out into the world, just by showing up as her incredible self, is invaluable. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
