Hi! I'm Lauren, your Candor Assistant.

Hi! I’m Lauren, your career and HR strategist. With experience across hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, and global NGOs like Habitat for Humanity and CARE International, I’ve led initiatives in HR, operations, culture, DEIB, and financial wellness. I’ve worked with over 6,000
job seekers—helping early-career professionals to senior executives with career planning, resume writing, and job search strategies. Known as the “Job Lady” in my community, I founded the first career center for resettled refugees in metro Atlanta and launched Community Lending Circles inspired by West African village savings models during the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally from the UK, with Indian and Caribbean roots, I grew up in Northeast Atlanta and studied Strategic HR at Cornell and International Economics & Sociology at Emory. I also hold an SPHR certification. My first book, Always Employed, shares real stories and universal job search insights to help individuals stay ahead in their careers. Whether you're seeking career guidance or strategic HR support, I’d love to connect!

Resume Writing

Writing a professional resume is tough when the HR department only gives your resume a 2-3 second glance. Spending years as a hiring manager, I’ve screened through piles of resumes and passed over hundreds of applications to find the top 5-10 applicants to interview. Don’t let your resume and cover letter fall to the trash pile. I can help you identify your talent and skills to add to the resume and cover letter. For 30-45 minutes, I’ll interview you and ask comprehensive questions to ensure the most vital, best selling information about you can be captured in your next application. I have directly placed 6,000+ people in jobs and have over a decade of career coaching
experience for Americans and international professionals having recently moved to the United States. I am a Certified Senior Professional in Human Resources with a degree from a top- ranking university. I offer top professional resume review, writing, LinkedIn optimization and job preparation services. My resumes are ATS-friendly with captivating content, strategically designed to attract attention to your application. Once you complete your order, please email the most current version of your resume and cover letter. An initial consultation call is required for optimal results.
