I am extremely grateful for Jessica Silva’s professional mentorship and guidance in helping me achieve my career goals. I am a first year Internal Medicine Resident at the University of Ottawa. The “matching” process that final year medical students go through to be accepted into their residency program of choice is extremely grueling. The application process involves writing personal essays, submitting a professional curriculum vitae, and travelling across the country to meet with residency programs and to be interviewed by program directors, faculty and upper year residents. I sought Jessica Silva’s expertise in helping me prepare and strengthen my application. Throughout the process, it was clear that Jessica Silva was dedicated to helping me succeed. She reviewed my essays and curriculum vitae and provided excellent, professional advice on how to strengthen them. She also helped me prepare for the interviews by creating individualized mock interviews. Furthermore, her regular check-ins provided me with the opportunity to discuss issues that I was struggling with and made me feel supported. I have no doubt that Jessica Silva’s professional guidance was instrumental in helping me “match” to my preferred residency program. I would highly recommend her to others looking to excel in their career path!
