Here's what people have to say

"Not having presented my CV to anyone for the past few years, I was totally unaware of what the companies are looking for. However, after attending IndePenn Smarten Your CV workshop, I was able to make a crisp and attractive CV, which showcased what I had done in an interesting manner. Proof that it really worked lies in the fact that I have started getting offers for interesting positions again."

"indePenn is one of the best things that has happened in my life. Even more than the career opportunity, I would say is their support, guidance, and the comfort they provide to women like me who are wanting to get back to work after a long break. Their workshops helped me to come out of my shell and explore things.
