Description

Specialties

With 10+ years experience in the film and TV industry (in both Production and Recruiting), I specialize in polishing resumes, interview coaching and Administrative Assistant training. Because of my extensive work with college students, internships programs, and entry level employees, I am a particularly helpful and affordable option for recent graduates and those looking to change industries. Though the majority of my collective experience is in the entertainment realm, I welcome clients from all industries and have experience working with those in legal, finance, business management, household staffing (nannies and personal assistants) and biotech. I am based in LA, but available to travel (for consulting/​training), and also find that I am able to work with coaching/​resume clients easily via Skype, if you happen to be outside the LA area. For those applying for graduate programs, or high school students applying to college, I am also available to help with editing essays and personal statements. Please call or email me for a quote! Payments are accepted via cash or credit card (Paypal or Square).

Kira is absolutely fantastic. I was at a crossroads in my career and juggling with what to do next, and Kira provided me with resources and advice that I doubt I would have been able to find anywhere else. Her extensive knowledge and experience in the entertainment/​media industry has given me a fresh perspective and a much needed nudge towards the fruition of my career goals.
Not only does she give great advice, but she also presents you with options and suggestions on how to approach certain work situations. Whether it be salary negotiation, networking or any job-​related concern that you may have, just talk to her… she will know exactly how to handle it, and will present it to you in a very professional way. If you follow her advice, you can’t lose! She is also extremely helpful with resume critiques. I came out of my meeting with her with the confidence to get what I want, and thanks to her I am also fully prepared for whatever is yet to come.
Thanks Kira for aiding me in the development of my career path! :)

Kira is terrific! If you are looking for someone who LISTENS and is able to put your job into words… Well, Kira is IT! She was a tremendous help to me. She is not only tuned in to the entertainment industry– I used her for a resume in the world of education. I enthusiastically recommend her!

Kira helped me with re-​work my resume and did a fantastic job. It was nice to have a face to face meeting with her so we can talk through my work history. I felt extremely fortunate because she came from an entertainment background as it made explaining my multi-​media focused resume much easier. Kira was then able to extrapolate important aspects of my previous jobs that I did not even know I did. She also helped me organize and edit my resume in a way that would make it more attractive to a recruiter because lucky for me, she’s a recruiter as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to shape up their resume and would want a quick face to face meeting whether in the entertainment industry or not. Kira is awesome!

Kira helped me with my application to grad school, helping me shape the cover letter, the admissions essay, and even the writing samples I submitted. She is professional, friendly, and immensely knowledgable. I graduated a year and a half ago and love my new career. And I have Kira to thank!

I enlisted Kira to help me write my bio, which will be used to announce my transition as head of a new department at a 15+ year strong VFX Studio. The concept that this would be used in the trades and would point people to my professional profiles was making me freeze. Kira did an amazing job at reviewing my resume, asking me simple questions, and then wrote me an amazing bio. She really absorbed the qualities that make me unique in my line of work and highlighted that throughout. When she was finished, I was shocked to see how professional and accomplished I could read, and with no fluff. She is a wizard at figuring out the best way to market you and your skills, while still being grounded and honest.
I have also long consulted Kira on other people’s interview strategies, as well as tips for when I am the interviewer. She is a great asset and has an incredible perspective. If you feel like your resume isn’t sparkling in a way the reflects you, definitely give her a call. She also has an amazing sense of people, and has always been a great resource for staffing random production positions.
