Testimonials
From the onset, Alexa has been dedicated to understanding our company's staffing needs and ideal candidate profiles. …she was able to quickly draw parallels between the roles we needed to fill and the experience offered by each candidate she identified. Each incoming candidate was accompanied with a thorough written prescreen, and introduced to our company in a friendly, professional, and timely manner. I look forward to continuing to work with Dark Horse Consulting in the near future.

Alexa did a phenomenal job of following up and keeping us up to date regarding recruiting progress. She also provided great insights into how we as a company can improve to enhance our recruiting prospects.

Alexa was fantastic in every step along the way! The time, care, and effort she took through the entire process is well displayed with the final results. Alexa was easy to work with and made this a much more pleasurable experience than I would have ever anticipated. If you need a resume or a rework of an existing one, I would highly recommend Dark Horse. This is the exact service I was hoping for. If you are on the fence of whether it's worth a professional to do this work, take the leap and go for it!
-Bran M., Personal Services Client
Having worked with you previously made the whole process much easier as there was much less to explain. I'm completely happy with the finished product, the questions / guidance you offered along the way and the speed at which you turned things around especially when at times I was fairly slow to get things back to you. All in all it was a great experience and I'd definitely recommend your services to others.
- Jerry F., Personal Services Client
Recently I realized my resume needed some updates and focus. Alexa has a great eye for detail and knows how to craft a resume that stands out. After several meetings and some minor edits, I'm very satisfied with the final product. The entire process was efficient and I highly recommend Dark Horse Consulting to anyone looking to get a resume makeover.

Alexa helped us find great people to expand our team! We were able to work together to find the right people for our needs. She had great communications and kept us on track to hire!
-Kelly H., Corporate Client
Working with Alexa was efficient and effective. Her questions were insightful and helped me drill down to what I wanted to get across in my resume. I am thrilled with the results and I feel confident when I send the resume out that it represents me well.
- Jimi H., Personal Services Client
It was such a great experience I have to share. I made a decision to switch careers. I was a long time restauranteur. Covid has been taxing on the industry so I chose to change careers. Alexa contacted me and offered her services to really boost and refine my resume for the IT industry. Switching career paths can be scary, but having someone that is invested in helping you get there is priceless. She was so professional and set multiple meetings with me as we worked through the process. Alexa interviewed me and through that interview found multiple applicable experiences in my past to help make my resume stand out. I do not feel I would have landed my new job as a software engineer without her and Dark Horse Consulting's expertise. Thank you so much!

I have been applying/interviewing for physical education teaching positions for the past five years looking for that dream full-time job. In NJ the physical education field is extremely competitive, usually getting 200+ applicants per opening. Oftentimes I would get so close to the job, usually ending up as the runner up and never landing the FT job that I wanted.
Last summer I decided to reach out to Dark Horse in the hopes of improving my resume and interviewing skills altogether. We had Zoom sessions where DH took the time to get to know me and learn a little bit about my struggles with landing the job first. DH helped me improve my resume, and helped me refine my interviewing skills. But most importantly, we worked on building my confidence when interviewing. After just a few coaching sessions, I received my first full time job offer.
I cannot thank Dark Horse enough for completely revamping my resume, my interviewing skills, and giving me the confidence that I needed to land that first job. I would recommend Dark Horse to anybody that is looking to land that first job or getting that promotion to grow their career!- Jake R., Personal Services Client
I was referred to Alexa by a very good colleague of mine and she absolutely DELIVERED!
Alexa conducts her business with the utmost professionalism but above all, she treats her clients as if they were family. She is extremely knowledgeable in her craft, very easy to work with but also very realistic which is necessary.
I was going through a job transition at the time and I had not touched my resume in almost 5 years prior. Alexa took the time and was able to work with me to really understand my life, my goals, and experiences. Given that knowledge, she was able to reconstruct my resume which garnered instant results in the form of interviews from companies that I wouldn't have even thought to hear back from. I was shocked by the instant success of the new resume and given the saturated job market during the pandemic.
I am happy to report back, that due to her help I was able to get in and accept the desired position at my current company and I could not be happier at the moment.
If you are on the fence about it, no need, just take the plunge and it will be a career-changing decision.
Big Thanks to Alexa!- Marc W., Personal Services Client
Email Subject: That was quick...
Accepted a job offer today, thanks for the help. The resume definitely got me in the door, however, I killed it on the in-person interviews. Also, they are still responding to inquiries about employment at other companies with your resume. I’m now a true believer in your talents.
- Bob H., Personal Services Client
I’ve had a great experience working with Alexa at Dark Horse Consulting. She took the time to understand my current roles and responsibilities and how to best highlight the unique skills I can bring to an employer. Her detailed questions helped tailor my resume towards specific positions within my field and also led me to better define my long term career goals. I feel much more confident entering the job market with a solid resume!

She is the perfect person for the job. She will work together with you, ask all the right questions, provide you with a draft, then go over every detail until you are both satisfied. Do not underestimate the power of a professionally written resume!
- George R., Personal Services Client
Alexa and Dark Horse refinished my resume before an interview. It was a great experience and I got a great response from the interviewer. Alexa tailored what I presented based on my career goals to make me as appealing as possible. Her knowledge of the interviewing process and how best to use your resume to play up your strengths was invaluable. I got compliments on my resume from recruiters and employers alike and I got the offer I wanted from the first company to see it. Do yourself a favor, if you want to advance your career, don’t just wing it. Alexa and Dark Horse know what they’re doing, paying a little for a professional will pay for itself many, MANY times over when that offer comes in.
- Richard I., Personal Services Client
Working with Alexa was great. She was able to perfectly translate my experiences into a clear and concise resume. Which has already led to me getting more interviews than I did using my old resume.
- Ryan K., Personal Services Client
I was recommended Alexa - Dark Horse Consulting through a colleague and this had been my first experience paying to have my resume edited, so I was a little skeptical. However, from the first call that I had with Alexa, I knew this was going to be absolutely worth it. She takes the time to interview you, understands your career paths, goals, and current situation, and then she's able to express that within your resume in such a way that blows your mind. Needless to say, Alexa is awesome to work with and this experience was absolutely worth it, I'm happy to say that due to Alexa's help, I've been able to get immediate callbacks within the industry that I'm looking in.

I could see that the professional massage therapy industry has been changing and I felt it was time to put together a more polished professional resume, but I didn't know where to start. It was nice to bounce ideas off of Alexa and to get some professional feedback with her expertise. After a few conversations and a couple rough drafts, I am very happy with my resume results and have had some really good feedback on it already. Alexa made the whole process a lot less intimidating than I originally thought it was going to be. I look forward to working with her again if there's ever a time I need a little bit more professional polish put on a project!
- Laraine W., Personal Services Client
My resume was long, boring, and nothing stood out. Alexa had a tough job ahead of her and she knocked it out of the park. The multiple 1-on-1 meetings show you that she is there for you and that she takes her time to hear what you are trying to highlight in your resume. The end product was a fantastic resume that I can confidently submit to any future employer.
- Jorge R., Personal Services Client
I have worked with and known Alexa for many years. What always impressed me about her was her ability pull information out of people. Which is why when I realized my resume needed a major refresh, I went to Alexa of Dark Horse. Alexa's approach was great, she took the time to go through my resume and really dig into my past positions. What impressed me was the thoroughness of Alexa's approach. She took the time to understand my various roles and my accomplishments at each company. The result was a significant improvement to my resume. Money and time well spent.
-Frank D., Personal Services Client
Alexa is a commander of the pen! My resume needed sprucing up and easier flow/read. She over delivered and in record time. Alexa took the time to interview me, worked with my resume content, and created a wonderful resume I am proud to show my next employer! Thank you for your effort, time, and fresh approach to a better resume.
