”I found the ability to contact my coach whenever I had a question, very helpful.
1 on 1 work with [my coach] was great! I love to be able to ask questions and get a full answer in person. The value of the process for me was changing my mind set. Before I started CareerJoy, I didn’t know where to begin.
I felt lost with a useless resume and no ambition. [My coach] helped me discover my talents and personality traits and supported me excellently throughout the process… which allowed for confidence and a desire to pursue a career in occupation therapy. I feel like I am moving forward now, thanks to career joy.”

“On a personal level I was able to understand my underlying motivating drivers, what I want out of my lifestyle, what I am able to compromise with, and what is an absolute necessity in my life. This was absolutely integral to my success going forward. On a professional level, I’m extremely close to closing an opportunity that fits a lot of my ideals. Having someone there making you accountable for what you do an not do was a great motivator as well.”

“I’m very clear on my strengths and what I should pursue in terms of the ideal working environment for my personality, character, strengths, and future dreams. Realized the necessary attributes of a job that I need as well as what type of work I should be avoiding.
Confirmed innate strengths and also what does not come naturally to me. Gained wonderful insight from the comments and observations that both my friends and coach made. I enjoyed the frequent check-ins with the coach and the fact that we have to determine what our values are, as well as what our friends deem to be our strengths and greatest abilities.”

Personally, this program alleviated my anxieties towards the career search process. It showed me what I was doing right, what I needed to improve upon, as well as advice on putting forward my best image and avoiding common pitfalls.
Professionally, it broadened my perspective in understanding that career improvement is a difficult, long term process which requires constant work; it’s not necessarily as simple as “finding a better job”, as major a part as that might be. Improved, streamlined, and more concise cover letter and resume.
Greater confidence in the image I’m presenting to employers upon applications and interviews; affirmation of what I was doing right, and correction or improvement upon my weaknesses or mistakes.

“My Executive Coach was a wonderful fit, great synchronicity, excellent advice, very good contacts who were quite responsive and wonderful transitional and emotional support. Value of the process allowed me really assess my personal and professional goals, skills and strengths and focus on looking for assessing work opportunities that would meet my personal and professional goals.”

“I have made important connections through the informational process. I have a clear path and plan for my career and feel confident going forward. The value of the process was high as I felt I was treated compassionately during a time of emotional stress.
The exercises were valuable as they helped formalize the process and provide direction. Ryan was very helpful and professional. His background as a psychotherapist was especially helpful as it was among the careers I was considering."

“It helps you get unstuck and focuses on yourself more than focused on a career. People get stuck on a career and not looking into what makes you happy as a person. I found everything to be very helpful, especially the Highlands Ability Battery test - this is where I found my weaknesses and strengths.”

“It was a very valuable experience for me. I was given tips on how to conduct myself during interviews which I appreciate. The self-evaluation that I was made to undergo helped me find my strengths and weaknesses.”

“As someone who did not have a lot of experience applying for jobs and going through the interview process, I really found it helpful in just understanding in the process you go through in getting a job.I found the resume and cover letter to be extremely helpful, as well as the coach helping me understand a lot of the assets that I have for a company that I would not usually expect to have identified myself, leading to more confidence when applying for a job. On a personal level the main thing that I gained was self confidence, it showed me that I have something to offer the work force, and gave me the know how to go through the process of getting a job so that I am able to give myself the best shot of being successful.On a professional level, as someone who does not have a great amount of professional experience, it gave me an insight into how things will work in the future when it comes to moving up in an industry or how to weigh different options for careers as I move through my own career. I found the experience very positive, the coach was very helpful, and all the resources that come with the package are also really helpful, along with the fact that I can start to see tangible results after only 4 sessions.”

I wanted to pass on the feedback to you that I was incredibly impressed and pleased with the service and support that your coach provided. She was professional and warm. It was exactly what we needed with this sensitive termination and she had the employee leaving in a much better and supported state than we anticipated.Thank you for the quick turnaround time on this.

I found the coaching sessions, the materials and activities that supported the sessions, as well as the weekly emails and tips to be extremely effective and motivating. I highly recommend this program to anyone in a career transition. This program had a high value on both a personal and professional level. Personally, I have always struggled in deciding which career path to take. This program helped me to clearly define my strengths, natural abilities and passions, and supported me every step of the way in discovering the right path for me. Professionally, this program was highly effective as well; I was provided suggestions and strategies for professional development, as well as ideas and motivation on resources to use to my advantage.

I have found the process with CareerJoy interesting. The initial contact with Cynthia was the beginning and her subtle push set me on the right path.
I struck an immediate rapport with my coach, Sandra, and our relationship has grown over time despite the fact that our interactions have all been over the telephone. The program is flexible and can be tweaked to meet the needs of the candidate. Sandra is open to questions and has made changes along the line to accommodate my needs.
I have enjoyed the process and interactions with Sandra and I always look forward to our meetings.
