"You're always prepared."

I felt stuck and helpless, knowing that I wanted to leave my current role and work environment but not knowing the concrete steps to get that process started. Now, I feel confident that I can make changes in my career as I see fit. The main benefits of the platform for me was accountability, concrete steps from my coach, and breaking down the goals into smaller steps by only unlocking steps in the platform after the previous one had been created. People that would benefit from WOKEN include college students and recent grads; people deciding whether to go to school or join the workforce; career changers; anyone who is in their career but is unsure why!

"I was introduced to my career coach and WOKEN when I was starting to think seriously about leaving my teaching career. I had realized that teaching was not a career where my strengths could be best utilized, but I didn't know what else I could do with my degree. Through the WOKEN process, I was able to deep dive into finding my strengths and interests. As I continued the process, I felt more and more confident that I could find a way out of my career and into something that I loved. After taking the process at my own pace, I landed a job that I am SO excited to get started in! I don't think I could have confidently made this huge career change without the guidance of the WOKEN team and process. I would highly recommend WOKEN to anyone still figuring out where they belong in the work force."

"I feel very fortunate to have worked with my career coach. She is a phenomenal career coach and has been instrumental in helping me design my business. She has a rare ability to understand the market as well as connect personally with her clients. She helped me figure out the right career path and also pursue it methodically. I am grateful that our paths crossed. I would definitely recommend her services to those who need an amazing coach to boost their careers."

"I’m starting my new job today!!  Thanks again for creating a platform like WOKEN which has immensely helped me while I was stuck & on the lookout for my next opportunity. Appreciate the guidance & feedback to help me take my next career step!!"

"Getting started is the hardest part, but I felt like having someone to check in with every week or two weeks was what motivated me to actually do these things. I'm super comfortable with my career coach."

"My coach is top-notch. She encourages self-reflection to clear mental hurdles that get in the way of career advancement, while also making sure that you leave every session with a specific and impactful to-do list to advance your search."

"Thank you for the communication. I appreciate you checking in. Helps me stay accountable. I started researching one role. I actually like that the platform gives more structure and guidance in researching roles. I would've been all over the place on my own."

"Before WOKEN, I had just left a career I was in for almost ten years, and didn't know what to do next. I knew I needed a change, but didn't know where to start. I also knew that my resume and how I presented myself would need to change to reflect my new career path, and I definitely needed help with that. Now, I know what I want to do and have learned a variety of useful tools to help me find a job that's right for me. The primary benefits of the platform for me were figuring out what my next career goals were and how to present myself using my resume, cover letter, and Linkedin to be more attractive to those opportunities. Anyone who is unsure of the direction of their career or someone who is job hunting and needs help with resumes, interviews, and job applications should leverage WOKEN."

"Before I started the WOKEN process I felt stuck in my current job without a good idea of how to move forward or even where I wanted to go. I had spoken to career coaches and my school's career services department and always came aways came away discouraged. I did not know how to orient myself towards a career and a future that I actually found desirable. I was experiencing the dilemma of present discomfort, a sense of being 'stuck' and lacking direction. Overall, not a great place to be! The WOKEN process really is different. From day one, taking action to determine my real skills and genuine interests lit a spark and gave me hope that I could not only identify work I could find deep enjoyment and engagement with--I could actually make a career out of work like that. I am still working the system, but have managed to narrow my options down (in a good way!) to a manageable number of very attractive and attainable outcomes. The sense of peace and relief is really incredible The main benefits of the platform are two fold: the WOKEN process provides a concrete framework for zeroing in on attractive and attainable career options that really are tailored to YOUR interests and passions and an amazing team (especially my career coach!) who will keep you grounded, motivated and provide direction as needed throughout the process. This is very different from most career coaching services! Who should pursue this. Anyone who is not currently in their dream job. Even if you are happy where you are working I am confident this team can help you gain insights about directions to head in--even within your current role! I cannot recommend WOKEN highly enough."
