recent kudos / testimonials:

Not only did Kathy help me to polish my LinkedIn profile, she also demonstrated the many bells and whistles the platform has to offer and how to best leverage them for my coaching practice. Then she taught me how to quickly find and connect with potential clients and collaborators in specific organizations, and to craft compelling messages to them. Within less than a day of sending three such requests - literally during our consulting session, two of my new connections DM'd me to schedule telephone conversations. Simply. Priceless. Work with the Best of the Best, Kathy  Bernard! -- Deb Gaut, Byrnes Mills, MO

Wanted to let you know … yesterday I received my first call from a recruiter in the US after weeks of complete silence ... 24 hours after our work on LinkedIn! -- Paco, Madrid, Spain

I watched the whole of your presentation and I thought it one of the most professionally focused presentations I’ve seen. — Simon, Nottingham, U.K.

Your class was absolutely AMAZING! I learned so much. -- Jacquie, St. Louis

I’ve listened to a few other people who are LinkedIn experts, yet you’re in a class of your own. — Sally, St. Louis

And the award goes to Kathy Bernard for her two invaluable and world-class guides on interviewing and salary negotiations.” Bravo! Hooray! Woohoo! Kathy, I’m not kidding when I say your two guides are the most helpful resources I have ever read on these critical topics. Wow! — Barbara, Madison, IL

I was amazed at how much I learned from your LinkedIn training class and how well I have maintained the new knowledge. I’ve been to many social media and content creation and management trainings where the trainers feel as if they are working off a script and don’t provide personalized suggestions and recommendations for content or campaign ideas that would be helpful to the attendees. Your making personalized suggestions and taking time to ask questions about each attendee made your training even more valuable. — Ashleigh, St. Louis

You are such a thoughtful and kind person, Kathy.  I hope you know that about yourself and I’m very happy to remind you of that should you ever forget or have a “down” day.  You are amazing.  Amazing! — Cindy, Madison, WI

I continue to be amazed at the LinkedIn interests I am now generating -- 2 more leads came to me today ... Amazing. You’re a miracle worker! -- Tim, O'Fallon, IL

Your class really helped me understand the strategy! Your techniques worked fast. -- Jill, St. Louis

Kathy is very knowledgeable and thorough. I would recommend Kathy to anyone who is trying to promote themselves or their business on LinkedIn. — Richard, St. Louis

You’re amazing! I can’t tell you how much of an outstanding resource you have been for me. I know others who offer the services you do, but none are as great as you! — David, St. Louis

I got an internship! I attribute my success to you. Your feedback on my profile really helped me. -- Prathyusha, Ithaca, NY

Meeting with WiserU’s Kathy Bernard was one of the best things I ever did for my career search. — Philipjohn, St. Louis

Since you optimized my LinkedIn profile, I started getting emails and phone calls from recruiters in my field. In fact, I just accepted a job offer with a major banking group as a vice president while I turned down three recruiters this week.  I really do believe that your fine work made this happen. — Kim, New York City

I got a job sending out the resume that you created for me even though I sent it out less than 10 times! — Jane, St. Louis

Thank you! —Hillary, Clemson University, Clemson, SC

I got the job! Thank you so much for tailoring my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile to match the position.  I was the perfect candidate!  Thank you also for your advice and “pep talks”.  You gave me the confidence I needed to excel during the interview process. — Katie, Chicago

I highly recommend anyone wanting the best possible LinkedIn profile use Kathy for that service. I thought I’d done a pretty good job of making improvements to mine but I wanted someone with all the skills and an excellent reputation to give it a “once over”. She did more than that! She made suggestions/did updates I never would have thought of on my own. — BJ, Edwardsville, IL

As an Australian who has previously spent a year working in LA, I am now looking to return to Dallas and found your page extremely beneficial in marketing my LinkedIn profile to American employers. — Emma, Sydney, Australia

Thanks to my beefed up LinkedIn profile, I connected with a former co-worker who told me about a job opening. They called me for an interview and thanks to your techniques, they have invited me back for a second interview. I honestly don’t think I’d be in this position – where I might actually land a bread-winning position – if it weren’t for you.
