“Your coaching class was helpful and on target. The key word I would use in relation to your class is relevant. I saved many of the class slides, as well as notes from the times we interacted one on one. I also shared your information with my children who are 28 and 24…which made me relevant in their eyes! Specifically, your advice regarding resumes, cover letters and interview tips were invaluable even to my 28-year-old who has been out of school a couple years. Things are changing and changing fast… I only wish my children were able to take your class.”
– Sarah S.

“I found the career coaching extremely helpful. The interview practice was the most helpful, but all of the information helped me customize my search and apply my knowledge and experience in a manner unique to each interview.

Sue went out of [her] way to accommodate students and make each one of us feel like we could achieve any goal we set for ourselves. The course was very helpful. The one-on-one was very effective and allowed students to share personal concerns and issues in an environment with a great deal of support and without judgment. I learned how to prepare for interviews and used the coaching information throughout my job search.

I recently started a new position and I do feel the career coaching played a key part in my interview success.”
