Career Confidence helps other people be great

This course works. I needed someone to teach me how to do networking. It is one of my weaknesses, and I always avoided it. I needed someone to tell me you can do this, and here's how you do it. I needed that direction and the vote of confidence. And it really worked.

I had a great experience with the course. I went from being good on paper, and a 5 in terms of in person interviews, to between an 8 and a 10 in person. It really helped.

I get to do exactly what I want to do now. I'm surrounded by world class researchers, talking about science. That's what I get to do now, is help other people be great. Suzanne, you help other people be great.

The program challenged me to think of things from a different perspective

The Career Confidence program helped greatly. It helped me to articulate my strengths, weaknesses, experience and expertise in a way that is clear and concise, without getting bogged down in the complex details. The program challenged me to think of things from a different perspective. I really liked my resume prior to the program,  but after working through Career Confidence, I realized it could be so much better.

The Career Confidence program has made me more focused on my next career path

The Career Confidence program has made me more focused on my next career path and what I truly want from my next employer and job. I have a tendency to play everything too safe and not really go after my wants. I enjoyed the candor in Suzanne's program, learning how not to play it all too safe. The program really helped me push through that, and become more confident in my wants and needs.

I am happy that I have Career Confidence as my secret weapon

I received my graduate degrees (IE Business School and MIT), and can get advice from career services at both institutions. That said, nothing compared to the kind of advice Suzanne has in her Career Confidence program.

It's very easy to miss the little things that can increase one's value in the view of a hiring manager or recruiter. I learned from the program, there is always room to negotiate and most importantly, when to do so. I am happy that I have Career Confidence as my secret weapon.

Career Confidence helped me get my dream job!

Suzanne helped me get my dream job, which I didn’t even know existed. It was exciting to see my brand emerge after I worked through the assignments, video tutorials, and one-on-one coaching calls. She also helped me discover how much fun networking can be. I enjoyed working with Suzanne tremendously. I would highly recommend Suzanne to anyone who wants to level up and get their dream jobs.

I honestly tried Career Confidence, not really knowing what I was going to get

Career Confidence has given me clarity on how professionals with developed careers network and market. "Networking" was always just a code word before, and now I have a much better understanding of how to network, and faith that there really are some people in the world who just want to help others advance their career.

I honestly tried Career Confidence, not really knowing what I was going to get. I was desperate to to get my job search off the ground. The program pushed me WAY past my comfort zone and provided a sense of progress towards my job search.

Career Confidence has shifted my perspective 180 degrees

The Career Confidence program has shifted my perspective 180 degrees! I learned the importance of establishing my brand, recognizing my value, and standing in my truth during career advancement planning. The networking lessons were also fantastic, helping me understand what networking is and isn't, and how to do it correctly. The work here created a psychological shift that I didn't expect, and taught me why creating multiple resumes is wrong!  Her teaching style gave me just the right "nudge" to head in the right direction.

Career Confidence completely changed my career trajectory

Taking the Career Confidence Course completely changed my career trajectory. I got out of a dead-end job just months after working the program. I'm now able to confidently articulate my strengths and have a clear brand. The program really goes the extra mile, and helped me at every stage of the process. As a bonus, I've received tons of compliments on my resume. 

I went from having no job offers and no prospects for two whole years, to having multiple opportunities with two offers only 4-5 months post completion of the program. Thank you!

Career Confidence helped me make a HUGE jump forward into the career path I've wanted forever.

I went from being in the wrong job at a workplace where I was not happy. Now, I am working for a better company, with the job title I've always wanted, for $40,000 more in pay!

I stopped trying to be a "jack of all trades" and realized I could specialize in doing only what I loved doing. Rather than narrowing my possibilities, it made my search more targeted and accurate.
