Navigating Career transition & corporate reorganization
Kathy is stellar in the career consulting field. Kathy helped me on multiple occasions, through a career transition during a bad market, as well as recovering from an unexpected corporate reorganization leaving me second guessing my career direction. Kathy helped me market myself with a strong resume. She assisted me in preparing scripts that refreshed my strategy, enabling me to capitalize on my strengths and neutralize my weaknesses in any interview situation.
Her process prepared me for several months of senior partner interviews at a Big 4 consulting firm. She gave me excellent advice on negotiating a good salary in multiple positions. Kathy is upbeat and delightful to work with, lessening the sting of personal change. I would highly recommend Kathy!

Success in a tough job market
I hired Kathy as a career coach. She helped me organize relevant career information and provided me with highly effective search and presentation tools that supported an accurate picture of my skills and expertise. She helped me clarify and focus my career goals; guided my search and encouraged me. It took me only three months (in a very tough work market) to find a position that matched my goals and potential. I highly recommend Kathy. If you have doubts about the cost, think of the benefits.

Kathy was my career coach through this process. She was instrumental in helping me define my career objectives, develop my resume, and confront the job market with assurance and confidence. My experience with Kathy has given me an extraordinary toolbox for managing my career going forward. I definitively recommend Kathy!

Stand out from other job-seeking candidates
Kathy has been a priceless resource for both my husband and me. The tools and techniques she taught me not only helped to make my resume stand out from the rest but also provided a competitive edge when going into job interviews. Kathy goes above and beyond her job as a career coach.
