Working with Wilma this year has been a very positive journey. After determining my strengths and interests, we were able to forge a path that resulted in an ideal career-pivot and the rewarding job I have today.She is exceptional at determining possibilities for real change and growth.I appreciated her initial process of getting to know my work history and my areas of interest. The refinement of my resume and LinkedIn page was critical work where she and her team provided valuable expertise.She is a great listener and remembers the key details, in addition to offering profound encouragement. Our work together is an important investment for my future. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to move forward and bring their best to the place they desire.
Working with Life Working was a great experience for me, especially as someone with only over a year of professional experience. After a time where my job made me question if my career was headed in the right direction, Life Working was able to give me direction on how to discover what job sector was right for me, and what aspects of the company I worked for didn’t work for me, and how to tie that altogether in plan of what to specifically look for in my next job (which I found!).The resume services were one of my favorite parts of the process. As someone with an engineering background (and decided ultimately to stay in engineering), it was important to have a resume that emphasized my technical skills and project experience. I was paired with an awesome writer who focused on specific projects and what made each of them unique and a highlight in my career so far. I can say with confidence that my resume really drove my interview in the right direction as my interviewers asked me questions on it that further highlighted my qualifications and experience.Something that helped me greatly in this experience was learning how to network with other professionals and prepare for interviews. Something that was a worry for me was being asked how my experience was with my previous job. Luckily, Life Working was able to coach me through cleverly answering these questions that kept me positive and professional.If you’re in a position where your questioning your career path or feel like your job can work better for you, I highly recommend Life Working to coach you through the transition to a new job. I’m currently in a new job that treats me in a positive way while lifting me professionally, and I wouldn’t of made it through this transition to this job with out Life Working’s help!
I had a great experience working with Wilma. We discussed everything from personality type to resumes and cover letters to interview etiquette and more. She was very encouraging and supportive during the entire process which I really appreciated. The resumes and cover letter she produced were very impressive and Im sure that they helped me get my current job. I would highly recommend working with Wilma!
I was introduced to Wilma over three years ago when I contacted them in 2017 with insight on a resume and cover letter. However, I decided at the time that I simply could not afford them. So, I chose a different writer and what I got was an average resume and CL. Which simply ended me nowhere and I simply gave up after about 4 months.Now, its 2020 and I needed a career change and I was not giving up this time. I knew my resume and CL had to be stellar and nothing less.So, I hired Wilma and her writer Jeanne Stoner. And what a fabulous crew I received. Jeanne took her time asking me many questions during our session so I could get the most out of my resume and CL. The quality and thoroughness I received was hands down the best I had seen. Afterwards, I was told Wilma had to proofread it as well. There were a few subtle changes Wilma made which I certainly approved of as well. Since it had been 17 years since my last interview. I also hired Life Working for interview assistance which also proved invaluable. I simply cannot recommend Life Working highly enough if you want the best. You will be glad you did.
After 25 years in the market, I felt like it was time for a change – but I really didn’t know how to get started. So, I reached out to some friends and had the good fortune of having Life Working recommended to me.When I first reached out to Wilma & Arlene, I needed help evaluating all the functional skills and leadership experience I’d accumulated throughout my career, then craft them into a story that would allow me to explore new, different opportunities than what I’d been doing previously.While I didn’t know what to expect, I found the experience to be outstanding. With Wilma and Arlene working together during our Tandem Coaching sessions, they provided valuable guidance based on their respective backgrounds in Human Resources & Advertising/Branding, leading me to identify potential new career paths consistent with my interests and values.Among the things I liked about working with Wilma & Arlene is that they are genuinely good people. You can’t help but like them, which makes the coaching experience so much more natural. They also provided the honest feedback and nudging I needed to really arrive at what types of potential career paths would bring me the satisfaction I was looking for because they were based on my values. As a result, my resume, executive bio and LinkedIn profile reflect a good mix of my skills and aspirations.Wilma & Arlene are professional in their work and genuine in their lives – exactly the type of people you want to work with.Keith GChicago, IL
Life Working, LLC was recommended to me by a colleague. What a great recommendation! I spoke with a total of four companies before deciding to go with this company. Cofounder, Wilma Nachsin, and her team are extremely professional, listen to your needs, and ultimately provided exactly what I needed to take my professional image to the next level. If you are looking for an update to your resumes and/or LinkedIn profile or simply need coaching on your career, Wilma and her team are the best choice.
I was a completely lost relatively recent college-grad with no idea of what I wanted to do with my skills and life. After some searching for career coaching, I found Life Working LLC and am so thankful I did.Wilma gave me so much during our time together. She prepared printed documents/worksheets with tips, sent me many helpful links related to my job search/industry, gave me important interviewing tips, and provided compassionate guidance. She also orchestrated important networking opportunities for me and as a personal cheerleader, has helped me build confidence within myself.I also had the opportunity to speak with Arlene and work with Jeanne on my new resume; Im grateful I did. They provided me with so much insight, tips, and kindness.Even after your sessions are completed, Wilma and Arlene will still stay in touch and will be fierce supporters throughout your career. Its great to know that they are only an email or phone call away.Through Life Working LLC, I was able to determine where I can best utilize my skills, have built trust and confidence within myself, and have made strides in networking within my new industry. I highly recommend these services to anyone.
Arlene and Wilma were absolutely fantastic!!! Not only did they provide me with materials to help with my professional development, they helped me identify what employers are looking for during the initial interview. They were very professional and honest during the sessions. Their expertise also gave me valuable insight regarding networking, and how to go about it the right way. Their insight has given me additional confidence during interviews, and how to negotiate as well. As of last week, I have had four initial phone interviews and a second interview later this week! I would highly recommend Arlene and Wilma for anyone interested in career development and assistance regarding their job search.
For young people today, figuring out what you want to be when you grow up is hard. As a parent of young adults I see it first hand, and see my friends struggle to help their kids figure out what career will be best for them. Enter Wilma Nachsin of Life Working. I have referred a number of my friends and their young adults to Wilma. She has helped them analyze what they would be good at and what they would enjoy doing, helped them craft a plan to learn more about these careers, and helped them form a plan to find a job in the path they ultimately chose. In each case, the young adults were relieved and excited about where they were going, and the parents were happy there was a plan! All raved about the process, and loved working with Wilma! I cant recommend her highly enough.
Arlene and Wilma provided trusted, steady guidance throughout my job search preparation. I’m a career-changer and needed expertise connecting the dots. Recently I was offered an amazing position and remember back when I first came to them. They helped weave a narrative thread out of my work experience which helped my personal branding from cover letters to elevator pitches. They were also able to cull through a decade of work to build a cohesive, yet focused resume - something I couldnt have done on my own. In meetings with Arlene, I continued to benefit from her warm support and productive optimism. I highly recommend Life Working for help navigating career transitions!
I was referred to Wilma and Arlene from a friend that used their services. They were very professional and matched me up with Jeanne for their resume writing services. They did a total revamp of my resume which resulted in a new job 2 months later. It was money well spent!
The help that Arlene and Wilma provided me has been absolutely invaluable! The resume and cover letter they created for me are innovative, clear, thoughtful and dynamic. Everyone who sees the documents, including those with backgrounds in communications and HR, is blown away by the inventive and impressive way my experience and qualifications are presented. Not only did Arlene and Wilma provide me with unique and powerful tools to market myself to others, they also helped ME to better see the qualities, skills, and value that I have to offer. They are a brilliant, extremely knowledgeable, and impossibly kind and encouraging duo. I can easily say that hiring them is some of the best money I’ve ever spent. It has already opened doors for me and will pay itself back in spades!
Great service! Everyone is such a joy to work with and they really give great feedback. I got my cover letter, resume and linkedin updated and everyone did an amazing job! Multiple people look over my materials and helped with the drafts. Its a great investment. Wilma and Arleen are such a joy to work with. Im still on the job hunt but its nice to know that they are there to help! If needed, I might look into their coaching services as well!
As a recent graduate Life Working provided me with the tools and guidance I needed to land my latest role. After working with them to update my resume and construct a cover letter, I was encouraged by all the positive feedback I began receiving. As I subsequently started the Life Working one on one coaching program, I had already begun to receive new interview opportunities and it was incredibly helpful to get Arlene and Wilmas insight as I went through the interview process. By the time my one on one sessions were through, I was in the final stages of landing my current role. Starting this step in my career with Life Working was one of the best decisions I made this year.
Trusted advisor, guide, and mentor, who helps frustrated job seekers feel hopeful, design action steps, and land jobs. Pretty bold promises to promote on your website yet Life Working delivers. Knowledgeable, professional, caring and experts in their field. You feel you really have someone playing on your team and looking to make sure you are successful.

Working with Life Working has been fantastic. I was making a career change after 20 years in the same area and they really helped me to look at my skills, interests, and passions for my next career move. They worked on my resume, got me set up on LInkedIn, and gave me a foundation for cover letters. Mostly, they gave me the confidence to be a self-reliant and positive job seeker and applicant. They are the best. I am so thankful that I choose them for my career coaches!
Life Working guided me through a career change and my prospects have certainly changed for the better. I was a dinosaur in the area of job searching, until they brought me into the modern era. Wilma rewrote my resume, got me on LinkedIn and showed me how to use it. She taught me about networking, cover letters, interviewing and other aspects of finding a job. She’s also a great person to deal with and has a very warm sense of humor.
After learning that I would be losing my job of eleven years, I turned to Arlene and Wilma for help. Even though I live and work 600 miles from their office, they were able to provide the support I needed. This included constructing an amazing resume and an excellent LinkedIn profile. In addition, they were forceful cheerleaders, giving me team counseling when I hit a rough patch. They also gave me suggestions for a career change which has worked out very well. I look forward to work everyday. I will never make a career move without them. They dont believe that cant exists.
Arlene and Wilma were a critical part of my job search success. I retained Life Working for both my brand development and to enhance my job search and interviewing skills. They offered support and guidance unparalleled to anyone else in the market. Not only did their team craft a resume that was an exceptional representation of who I am as a professional, but it was also up to date and ready to tackle todays world of Application Tracking Systems. The 1:1 coaching I received was invaluable as well. While I felt great emotional support, many of our coaching sessions dealt with real life opportunities to improve how I presented as a candidate. Arlene and Wilma were straightforward and transparent where I needed to put in the work. Through their coaching I learned things about myself that made me a better job seeker, but are also applicable in my new role and continued growth as a professional. My time with the Life Working team helped me grow in both skills and confidence. I highly recommend Arlene and Wilma to anyone looking to put in the work to improve themselves and find a role that checks all their happy boxes.
I have had such an amazing experience with the Life Working Team and I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for me. They provided me with both the physical tools (resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, etc.) and the presentational tips to give me the confidence to take on any interview. With their help, I was able to land my dream job at a prestigious practice right away. They are the difference between being a good candidate for a job and making you the IDEAL candidate for your dream job.
I highly recommend Life Working! After a recent layoff, I was stuck and didn’t know what to do. Fortunately, I turned to Arlene & Wilma for help. They gave me the tools, insight, and expertise to explore career interests that I never really thought about. They also provided job search strategies and a complete resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn redesign. Thanks to Life Working, I have a new career direction and I am very excited about the future.
Life Working helped me to return to the traditional work force after being out of it for a long period of time. I had left to become a business owner,so that I could have flexible hours to raise a family, as well as follow my creative passion and enhance those skills.When I decided I wanted to return to a marketing position with a traditional CPG firm, I found that I wasnt getting any responses or interviews with the materials I was using. I had great experience and a great skill set, but the way I was packaging it, just wasnt garnering any attention. Thats when I turned to Wilma and Arlene. A professional athlete, gets a coach, a serious investor, gets a coach, a serious job seeker, should get a coach, especially if it has been awhile since you last had to job seek or interview.Wilma and Arlene reviewed all the mass of information that I had saved over the years, on jobs I had done, projects I had worked on, old resumes, etc. and pulled information, skills and talents, key attributes, experience, and organized it into a fantastic resume. It was attention grabbing from the start. It was all stuff that I had done, but I would have never thought to organize and format it in that manner. Then they did the same with my LinkedIn profile, so that it matched my resume.In no time, with a this new product, my resume, I began to get interview requests. It had been some time since my last interview so I had Wilma and Arlene help coach me and do interview preparation, they were great confidence builders.With the help of Life working, I landed the exact job that I wanted! I am very appreciative of all of their hard work and recommend that if you are serious about landing a great job, let them give you a hand.
I was referred to Wilma and Arlene by a mutual friend and the friend spoke so highly of this firm that I thought there is no possible way they are that good, the friend is just helping with their marketing. I have never been so happy to be wrong!! Wilma and Arlene were so friendly, flexible, knowledgeable, and dedicated it was truly unbelievable. I could feel that they genuinely cared about what I wanted and needed in a career and they helped me get there.They got the essence of who I am as a person before we even discussed potential jobs because in the end, its your personality and life experiences that dictate what sort of career you will be happy in. I went from being absolutely miserable in my career to finding a new job and industry that I plan on being in the rest of my life, and its all thanks to these two amazing women! They spruced up my resume, gave me networking and interview tips, and gave me an unbiased and honest critique of my strengths and most importantly, my weaknesses.Thanks to them, I found a job much more quickly than expected and did not have to settle for another crummy job just to pay the bills because my resume and confidence opened so many doors that I didnt even know existed. I feel bad giving only 5/5 stars because they went above and beyond the status quo for me and I wish I could do the same for them by giving 6 stars, but 5 will have to do.
The introduction to Life Working career coaches, Wilma Nachsin & Arlene Wanetick, could not have been more timely in this stage of my career. Through the intuitive discovery process used in their tandem coaching sessions, the team was able to uncover my true brand and motivation. They were then able to successfully translate this message into my updated Resume and LinkedIn profile, revealing my potential value to prospective employers. With Life Working in my corner, I know I have the consummate guides and the proper tools to navigate my way through the next chapter of my career.
