“Not only did I land an amazing job, but it checks off so many boxes of what I need and want, and my new salary is a great step up from my previous corporate jobs. With Rose’s help, I was also able to run an effective long-distance job search and land a job in a different state than I was currently living, so by the time I moved, I had a job there waiting for me!”
Before I started coaching with Rose, I was working in retail and I was miserable. In the past, I had previous corporate jobs where I gained valuable experience, but I never felt truly happy or fulfilled. I knew what I didn’t like and what I was good at, but I didn’t know how that would translate into a job that I would really enjoy and be successful at. I was in an industry and job where I wasn’t challenged and I knew I needed a change. I wanted to work with someone who could push me to become better. I knew I needed someone with the knowledge to help me discover the various roles out there in the job market that would suit someone with my background, education and skill set.
Working with Rose was an absolute blessing and I am so thankful for the opportunity to have had her as my coach. I felt a difference from day 1. She helped me focus on honing in on my skills and what I bring to a role, helped me realize that my dream job was actually attainable, and taught me the skills needed to effectively network. She helped tailor my resume into something that I can truly say I’m incredibly proud of. Rose was with me at every step in the process for advice, guidance and fantastic interview prep. After four rounds of interviews, I landed a role as an Account Manager in an advertising agency and I couldn’t have been happier. Not only did I land an amazing job, but it checks off so many boxes of what I need and want, I’m finally back on an annual salary and my new salary is a great step up from my previous corporate jobs. With Rose’s help, I was also able to run an effective long-distance job search and land a job in a different state than I was currently living, so by the time I moved, I had a job there waiting for me!
I loved her flexibility with communication; whether it was via skype or a phone call, Rose was always available, understanding and supportive. Rose pushed me to think strategically, think differently and throughout the process I became more and more confident in myself. She genuinely cared about my success and development. And clearly, knows what she is talking about.
Rose really helped boost my confidence in my abilities. If I hadn’t worked with Rose, I would have never thought that I could do what I’m doing now. I might not have been able to make that career transition into a different industry.
Regardless what the end goal is after working with Rose, people should know that they will walk away feeling much stronger and better about where they are and what they are doing. It wasn’t just about getting a good job – it was also about figuring out what I would enjoy doing in an industry and path where I could grow professionally.
