Client's Review:​

"I really liked that Evgenia is truly involved in the process and strives to provide as much useful information as possible, guiding you in the right direction. Her professional experience is also quickly apparent in her interactions."

"In my situation, I like that Yuvgeniya has a foreign origin like me, although she has lived several years in France and has fully, integrated, she may have once been in my situation, hence, she can empathize. The combination of her professional experience in HR, France integration, and a different origin is perfect for this purpose. Her inputs to me are useful and will help me in my pursuit. She was very thorough and exhibited professionalism in her delivery. I like that she gave me both the strengths and improvement points on my document/profile. I was impressed by the effort she put into the document she shared with me afterward and her responses to my follow-up questions via email. She is an active listener and I felt comfortable speaking with her. Above all, I believe that she has a great demeanor and is empathetic."
