Career Expert and Guest Speaker Helping Professionals Navigate Today’s Job Market With Clarity and Confidence

Invite Elizabeth to Speak

Your audience deserves the truth about how hiring actually works.

I spent nearly a decade inside hiring meetings, watching talented professionals get overlooked. Not because they lacked skills, but because they didn’t know how to communicate their value.

That experience shaped everything I teach today.

“I built my entire career on helping people finally get the YES they deserve.”

I’ve helped hundreds of professionals land high-paying roles

• Thousands of professionals coached.

• Multiple clients hired within days of updating their materials.

• Leadership candidates landing roles they once thought were unreachable.

• Rejected candidates rehired using the resumes she rewrote.

• Average salary increases of $20K–$80K after a coaching program.

• Outplacement support for corporations navigating layoffs.

  • “Elizabeth updated my resume and did a mock interview with me. Not only did I hear back from the jobs I applied to in a quick manner, but I also felt well prepared for the interview. I ended up getting a better job making more money. I highly recommend!”

  • “Elizabeth is a great professional to work with. She helped me with my resume and LinkedIn profile when I was looking for my last job. However, the best part were her coaching classes.
    She helped me understand what employers are looking for and how to deliver the answer while keeping my true self.
    She made me feel comfortable and understood.”

  • “I highly recommend Elizabeth’s Resume and Coaching services. She helped me update my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn Profile. She takes the time to understand her client’s background and unique skillset. She walked me through practice interview techniques and gave me additional resources to use in my search. I went on multiple interviews within a week of her helping me and I also received two job offers! She was such a pleasure to work with.”

  • “I loved working with Resume Polished, LLC! Elizabeth guided me through the entire job hunting process. She coached me via mock interviews, crafted a stellar resume for me, and helped me negotiate for higher pay when a job offer came through. Thanks!”

  • “Throughout our time working together, she helped me sharpen my resume, improve my interview skills, and better understand how to position myself for roles in recruitment. I always felt encouraged and supported, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about helping me succeed!

    With her help, I landed a role in recruitment that I’m truly excited about. I’d absolutely recommend Elizabeth M. Harders, CPRW to anyone looking for professional and practical career coaching.“

  • “I recently used Resume Polished for my resume building, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! As a former recruiter, Elizabeth brings invaluable insider knowledge that reshaped the way I viewed my resume. She helped me realize that I was focusing too much on job details instead of highlighting my own strengths and achievements. Thanks to her, I now have a resume that truly represents who I am and what I bring to the table. I highly recommend!”

  • “I was struggling to even hear back from places with the resume I was using prior to hiring Elizabeth. I did not receive a single interview during this time. After working with Elizabeth, I re-applied for a job I had previously been rejected for with my old resume, (w/o an interview) only this time- with the resume she wrote for me. I received my first call for an interview and subsequently a job offer thousands of dollars over what I expected. Time between submitting my resume and hearing back for an interview was 2 days! She really made an impact on my job search., and my life. Thank you!”

“I’ve been in the hiring meetings. I know what makes a decision maker say yes. My job is to break that down in a way your audience can understand and apply the same day.”
