I honestly can say, I do not know what I would have done without Agnes at Lucent....Agnes was able to help me dig deep to find a story that suited me...Working with Agnes, made me feel as though I was in hands that I could trust and cared about the process as much as I did. In the end, I was able to get into the schools of my top choice, which I could not have done without her. [Tilia is] a wonderful coach... The end result: I was admitted into a top 5 US business school for a full time MBA program! Tilia...has a knack of putting forth comments/notes that spur me to reflect deeper. It is extremely critical and fulfilling to having an essay that is still yours and truly speaks of who you are at the end of the day...[Lucent Education is also] affordable but still top quality...At a fraction of a cost compared to engaging established admission consultants... |
...with Sui-Seng's help I was able to develop a really powerful essay, that was 100% from the heart, completely mine, and ultimately got me accepted into the university program I applied to. ...He is a wonderful coach and had a way of commenting and making suggestions that helped nudge me along in the right direction...Thank you Lucent for making that incredibly stressful time much easier to cope with!! Agnes really took time to understand my story, my industry, my experience, my expertise, and help me not only sound great, but still 100% me... The result? ...I got interviews with Nest (a Google company), Facebook, NetApp, Dell, just to name a few... |

Agnes has been a great college counselor. I approached her as a transfer applicant and she is very knowledgeable about different schools, what they're known for, as well as different majors and career paths.
I'm not a great writer and at times I get stuck on personal statements.
Agnes is very responsive and helps me brainstorm different ideas. Instead of putting words into my mouth, Agnes really encouraged me to think and gave me ideas as to how I should I should consider tackling a personal statement.
I was recently admitted to the University of Southern California as a transfer applicant and I don't think I would have been accepted without Agnes's help.
Agnes is a great college counselor and I would highly recommend her to first year applicants and transfers alike.

Wow, I had no idea how awful my resume was until I had mentioned to a friend that I was looking for another job and she referred me to Agnes. Agnes did a fantastic job pointing out to me that no-one but myself would actually know what I did!!! She helped me write things out in a way everyone would understand and that would be relevant for the types of jobs I am looking for.
Basically she does a first scrub, pointing things out, deleting things that I thought were important but probably weren't, asking direct questions about what exactly I did/ the scope of what I worked on, she suggest phrases that sounded more professional and assertive. I edited and sent it back to her. Second scrub was reviewing the first scrub for formatting and asking more questions -- what organizations I interacted with, what exactly did I accomplish. I revised and sent it back to her. Third scrub was more how to word things better although there were still some suggestions about adding some statements. And Oila! Beautiful resume ready to be sent out!!!
Working with Agnes was super easy -- she's trustworthy, knows how to word things, and, like a good trainer, she keeps at you until the job is done. Five stars for Agnes!!!

This review is L-O-N-G overdue. Three months ago Sui-Seng helped me write my personal statement for my college application.
With Sui-Seng's help I was able to develop a really powerful essay, that was 100% from the heart, completely mine, and ultimately got me accepted into the university program I applied to.
Sui-Seng gently guided me through the entire process and it took most of my anxiety away immediately. He is a wonderful coach and had a way of commenting and making suggestions that helped nudge me along in the right direction. And believe me there were plenty of times I was way off track. The suggestions Sui-Seng gave me were INVALUABLE!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Thank you Lucent for making that incredibly stressful time much easier to cope with!!

Where do I even begin with this review, other that just AMAZING! If you need resume help, seriously don't wait another minute and get Agnes on it. I've always thought I've put together a pretty great resume. I've been building it with tons of good feedback over the years and help from career centers at school (incl. the one at Haas). I've been able to get through some job applications and always thought I just didn't have the right experience. Until Agnes took a stab at it..
Previously, I was getting feedback mostly on grammatical errors and clarity. Agnes took it to a new level. She challenged me to really dig deep and talk about work I've done. She pushed me outside my comfort zone to speak highly of my accomplishments and helped me realize how much I have achieved. She would provide prompts and help me phrase what I'm looking to say, without sounding like I was boasting. She really helped me draw out a great list of bullets points to describe what has been my career to date.
Since Agnes helped me review and rewrite my resume, I have to say this round of job searching has been amazing. The resume has gotten me so many phone screens because it has helped me put my best foot forward. Now, if I could only get her to train me through my interviews......

I am more than impressed and grateful by the service provided by Lucent. My MBA application essays were reviewed by Tilia and she was extremely on point with all her feedback. Each of her pointers as she reviewed word by word, was extremely helpful. Every feedback of hers tend to make me reflect deeper in my essay. She does not only have a great eye on the little things (grammar, structure etc), but also have a knack at suggesting better ways to express ideas to making my essay shine.
Even though I was rather slow at responding with my revised essay, Tilia constantly checked on me to make sure I am still on track. Her response time was also unbelievable. I received e-mail response within a day and all my revised essays with feedback within 3-4 days upon submission. It was extremely casual working with Tilia despite her professionalism and solid work ethic.
Thanks to her I am extremely confident of submitting my application now. I highly recommend Tilia to anyone who needs their essay reviewed.

For more than decade, I'd been using the same resume that I created when I first started working (out of college) - simply editing it, amending it, and tacking on elements with each professional stop I made. Over the years, it took on the look and feel of the Frankenstein monster CV that you might expect it to have taken on.
Agnes did a phenomenal job in working with me on my resume. Through various iterations she patiently helped to reformat, restructure and re-word my resume until it was the refined and polished reflection of myself that I would be proud to put in front of potential employers.
Agnes has an astute eye for written aesthetic, an incredibly perceptive attention to detail, and a keen sense for what would help make your resume standout in the eyes of potential employers. I'll obviously be using Agnes for future resume amendments and re-writes - she's a pleasure to work with, and the value she provides is well worth it.

When applying to transfer colleges, Agnes helped me polish my resume, common app, and the other short responses schools had asked for. While I later chose not to transfer, I was accepted into my top choice school, which is among the top 20 liberal arts school in the country. I have also since been successful in being accepted into summer programs and internships after getting help from Agnes to perfect my cover letters and resume.
I truly enjoyed working with Agnes at Lucent; she were always able to give feedback on my work quickly enough such that I was able to get my applications in on time. I would have never been able to be so successful during my college years without her!

I was recently in a situation where I had to start revamping my resume (quite possibly on my top 10 list of "things I dislike to do").
It was also difficult because I'm looking to transition in my career. I turned to Lucent to help me get things in order. Agnes is thorough, professional, and provided some great advice for my resume! She has a great eye for detail. I was also fortunate enough to have Tilia take a look at my resume as well, and my overall resume more focused and well written. She's a pro!
It's definitely not easy trying to convey your strengths in a brand new field, and they did it easily and flawlessly.
I've already gotten some hints of interest too thanks to my resume refresh, and I credit Lucent for their help. Highly recommend them, and they are also great at cover letters too!

Transitioning from a long-term job, I needed assistance fine-tuning my many job responsibilities, achievements, details and the like. I was seeking experienced/qualified resume editing, as well as advice.

She completely understood what I needed and how exactly to go about executing what I needed, as well as wanted from a resume editor. She was quick, determined, efficient, helpful, sweet/kind, caring, trustworthy, competent, talented, skilled, etc.; and she gave fantastic advice and was extremely adept at editing, writing, formatting, and the like.
She asked me the right questions, for which I provided answers that ultimately, truly impacted the strength and professionalism of my resume. She not only helped me but provided me with the tools I needed to understand what a resume should entail and look like. I recommend Agnes 1 million %. She was not only a pleasure to work with but a consummate professional. My deepest appreciation and utmost thanks to Agnes and Lucent Education.

Agnes not only corrects the technical errors, but also gives feedback on how to better present my ideas in a fluid manner. She’s given me much advice on ... how to personalize each essay, resume, or cover letter for its intended reader. Her constructive criticism always results in a stronger end product. I definitely don’t think I would’ve experienced as many successes in my college career and job search endeavors without her.
