"The well-organized platform was particularly helpful during the career exploration and networking phases. As the job search progressed, biweekly coaching calls were incredibly useful in helping prepare for interviews. On the platform, I particularly liked the prompts to prepare for networking calls."

"You're always prepared."

"Working with my career coach has been life-changing. She has pushed me to better my strategy and mindset giving me the guidance to pursue the results and outcomes I seek. Regardless of the issue, my career coach has helped me look at it from both a high and low-level perspective in order to determine the actions I need to execute and not only focuses on the bottom line but approaches the coaching journey with a focus on all aspects of life. Thank you my career coach for your continued support and commitment."

"The best part was the interactive coaching, makes you have an understanding of current situation and goals. Gave me confidence knowing what I want to pursue."

"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!!"

"I started using WOKEN at a time in my professional life when I was very direction-less. I was confused and unsure. I had been in a role that was not a good fit for me and what I wanted to do, but I felt stuck and out-of-control as to how and when to make a change. The biggest difference after using the WOKEN platform is a mindset change. My coach's confidence rubbed off on me, really just because I feel prepared now. I feel informed. I feel like I am in control now and that naturally lowers anyone's anxiety. What was the biggest benefit for me was not just keeping myself accountable, but USING the platform's tools to make things easier for me. Tracking who I wanted to network with, which companies I wanted to target, notes from networking calls, as well as questions I wanted to ask. It acted as a central hub to keep myself organized through what I assumed initially would be a very chaotic process. And practically, the direction in updating my resume was SO valuable! ...Who should use WOKEN? Everyone. People who naturally have networking and "career-building" personalities would probably thrive with the platform, but people like myself who find professional networking more challenging would benefit immensely from the guidance the platform provides. It's not magic and it's not EASY. It takes a lot of work, just like anything. But it is guidance. It is specific direction. It is not vague or ambiguous. It is a toolbox for anyone confused or unsure about their next professional move."

"I personally think our conversation opened the door to me thinking about a move into education / being open to a move into education. I often think about you as people ask me how I approached this career transition - you were really the first person to push me to focus on what *I* wanted to do, rather than using it as a relative tiebreaker factor. "

"I love that this process is giving me the permission to think outside the box."

"Helping me establish and refine my pitch was HUGE. The early days of focusing on developing a vision for the kind of role/industry I would be most excited about was really helpful in committing to the job search and what I wanted. I also liked the accountability it brought to the job search and having monthly calls to chat through obstacles and wins was great."

"Structured approach to research/learning, a proactive way to channel career uncertainty/anxiety, accountability."
