"You have such a professional, polished, humorous and accessible presentation style. You connected so quickly with the audience and delivered such helpful and immediately relevant information. The fact that you kept over 40 college students engaged, interested and laughing about resumes, cover letters, and professional networking on a Sunday night is a testament to your skill and ability as an engaging presenter. Thank you for bringing your talents, insights and advice to the VCU community. We are all better for it!"

"I can definitely say that I'd recommend Gala Jackson to anyone looking to land their first job or advance their career. We invited her to conduct a workshop to assist our students in preparing for our Carer Expo in which approximately 60 employers would be present. The information she shared was of great benefit to those in attendance. Additionally, she is professional, energetic, and cares about those she consults with. As a seasoned higher education administrator I recommend her services."
