About Victor Career Advisors

We understand resumes.

Your account will be directed personally by me, Mary Ann Victor. Before forming Victor Career Advisors, I was general counsel and chief human resources officer for a publicly-held medical device company. There, I reviewed thousands of resumes and was involved in the talent acquisition and hiring process for hundreds of employees.

After the company was acquired at the difficult ending years of the “great recession” in Michigan, many of our displaced employees asked for my help to find jobs by creating resumes and providing job coaching services. That led me to form consulting firm MAV Associates, LLC and this division, Victor Career Advisors.
