What My Clients Are Saying
TC, a clinical therapist, relocated to Florida from New York City, NY, at the height of the 2020 pandemic. After five months of job searching on her own with no real job search plan and spending $250.00+ to have her résumé written by a résumé writing service that applied to jobs for her. She had zero interview callbacks. I started coaching TC on December 1, 2020, and less than 30 days later (two coaching sessions), she received four job offers! TC took the methods, techniques, and skills I taught her and landed a position in higher education philanthropy. Based on the cost of living TC has nearly doubled her salary using only her nonprofit direct practice experience. No special licensure or additional education.
Using the comprehensive career planning strategies I taught her, she is now using her employer-sponsored tuition benefits to return to school for additional professional development that supports her short and long-term career goals.
MO was one of my very first social work career coaching clients. She possessed years of grassroots community organizing experience with Hispanic populations around the nation and was looking for ways to transition her career to more formalized social service settings. She did not know the value in her experiences; after intensive career coaching and résumé assistance, she landed a frontline case management position with a nonprofit and was recently promoted to Director.
MO primarily needed help connecting the dots and identifying the value in her work on the grassroots level to effectively market herself. She is now in a better personally and professionally. She has expanded her capacity to serve the populations she serves and became a homeowner.
Sam, a current PhD Public Health student and a macro social worker, was interested in transitioning her career from traditional social services settings that required her to be on call and work demanding hours. Sam received job search assistance, career guidance coaching, and mock interviewing services. She is now working in a higher education setting with an employer that provides flexible schedule options and comprehensive educational benefits to help towards the cost of her doctoral tuition.
Sam primarily needed assistance with learning about other settings and positions social workers could work within and reassurance and support that she was on the right track.
Bianca, a 2021 Master of Social Work graduate from Kennesaw State University, contacted me overwhelmed in her macro social work job search. After numerous attempts to find and apply to macro social work positions, Bianca shared that she could not find any macro opportunities. In a 30-minute strategy session, I provided Bianca with strategies to identify macro jobs in her surrounding area. I also advised her on ways to develop her professional brand as a macro social worker. Bianca took the advice and strategies I gave her and hit the ground running.
After our session, Bianca revamped her resume and ramped up her macro social work job search by creating a targeted job search plan. In less than two months, Bianca landed a job with a consulting firm as a program associate doing grants and policy liaison work for affordable housing issues, specifically for individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
