admission to IE Business School with scholarship | internship offer from the United Nations | full-time offer from Morgan Stanley
“I had an extraordinary experience with Olga. Olga assisted me in applying to a graduate school program located in Spain. I was unsure if I even had a chance but Olga encouraged me every step of the way. She helped me draft and edit my personal statements, scholarship essays, and practice mock interviews. Not only did I get accepted into the program I wanted but I also received a scholarship. I believe that without my Career Coach I would have not been able to achieve any of this. Thanks to Olga, I can finally pursue my dream career.”

full-time job offer from General Motors | sign-on bonus | relocation bonus
“I want to thank you so much for your help with interview preparation and salary negotiation. Honestly, without your help I don’t think I would be able to get this job. When I first met with Olga I didn’t really know what to expect. I was feeling stuck and frustrated by not being able to get interviews or get far when I did have an interview. After meeting with Olga, I was able to feel comfortable talking with my interviewers because she taught me prep skills that I didn’t know about before. Olga helped me tremendously. She let me know what was a good salary to ask for and what I should be asking for based on my experience. It was a very positive experience!”
Diana Pogosyan, BS in Economics, BS in Philosophy ’20
admission to the University of Utah Law School with a full scholarship
“When I first met with Olga, I had no idea who I was or what I wanted to write about for my personal statement, but after a few meetings with her, I began to see my application in a deeper sense. In a way, these meetings have motivated me to dig deep into my past and understand why I am the way I am today. I am very grateful for Olga for challenging me with deeper questions and being truly involved and supportive during this difficult process. My only regret is that I did not know about the career center earlier! Thankful for Olga to have made my application process for law school much smoother.”

acceptance into Hinckley Institute of Politics’s internship in Washington DC | multiple internship offers in Washington DC
“Working with Olga was instrumental in my success throughout the internship application process. She helped me prepare for interviews, strengthen my resume and cover letters, and navigate highly competitive opportunities with confidence. What stood out most was her willingness to go above and beyond—whether meeting with me multiple times in one week to prepare for interviews or making herself available over Zoom to provide additional support. Thanks to Olga’s guidance and expertise, I secured internships with the Salt Lake County Government and the Hinckley Institute of Politics’ Washington, D.C. Internship Program, and received additional competitive internship offers from the National Association of Attorneys, Tzedec DC, and the National Immigration Forum. Earlier in my college career, I also accepted an internship offer from the International Rescue Committee after working with Olga on interview preparation. Over the course of two years, she helped me become a stronger, more confident candidate, and I consistently left our meetings feeling prepared, supported, and ready to succeed.”

Joseph Rodman, BS in Computer Science ’23
internship and later a full-time offer from Marq | 10% offer increase after negotiation
“Olga helped me land an internship. She helped me with my Resume, interview prep and salary negotiation. She really helped me understand the process of negotiating compensation. If I hadn't had that conversation with her, I would not be making what I do now! Olga helped me to know my value, even as an intern. I would recommend her to anyone looking for help on their resume, looking for an internship/job, or for anyone who is going to interview. The interview process can be intimidating and difficult but meeting with Olga really helped me.”
Alex Christensen, BS in Chemical Engineering ’21
full-time offer from Atkinson Electronics
“One reason I had issues applying for jobs was that I was embarrassed about my resume. With Olga, we made a resume that I was proud of that showed how qualified of a candidate that I am. I really appreciated the added confidence. Olga also suggested how to look for jobs. We practiced interviewing and wrote out scripts for me to highlight my strengths. After the interview, I was given a full-time offer.”

I'm extremely excited to get started with law school! Can't thank you enough for taking the time to meet with me a while back. It was only then that I was able to connect my passion for law with my "why"
