"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."

"The guidance that you built into this tool has been super helpful-- thank you for creating this!"

"The hardest part, for me, was sending that first email to WOKEN, recognizing that I needed the help that they provide. Once I was willing to do that, I immediately gained the confidence and willingness to make the effort and work with my coach and the WOKEN platform."

"I am so especially pleased with the results of my career coaching sessions with my coach at Woken! In a matter of 8 weeks I was able to get multiple job offers, ultimately taking a position at a firm that I have been following for more than three years. After working at the same company for nearly ten years, I needed a change, but the last two times I was on the "hunt" was a terrible experience (circa 2008 and 2012). I was dreading getting back into the market but Woken made it easy. There is a great platform to guide the user/job seeker but I personally benefited the most from the one-on-one coaching sessions. We covered a lot of content in a short amount of time via mock interviews which provided immediate feedback and strategies for presentation and fielding questions. My coach provided me with the confidence and perspective that I needed to pursue the role I wanted, and ultimately I ended up being the "top" prospect. Now, I have the job I wanted, at the firm I wanted, with the compensation I deserve (thanks to key advice on negotiation), and I am truly grateful for my coach’s help!"

"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."

"The cycle will not break unless I disrupt it."

"Whether you are feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or just starting out in your career, I would highly recommend working with my career coach. She will help you find a career path that you will love and is best suited for you. Her framework is both methodical and well structured, and she genuinely has your best interest. She is highly skilled in all aspects of career development and exploration. My career path is unique and has a lot of nuances, but she was able to guide me to significantly more clarity, as well as develop solutions to identify the best career path and course of action for me. I am very glad to have crossed paths with my career coach!"

"I’m so grateful to have worked with my coach at WOKEN. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and overall a great coach - she knows when to support, when to push a little harder, and how to help her clients get out of their own way. I can’t recommend her highly enough."

"I was working in a stereotypical dead-end job, with not only no career path, but no idea what my ideal job or career should be. I'm now about to start a new job and career that I feel confident about, both short and long-term. The greatest benefit, to me, was one-on-one meetings with my coach. The assessment stage was also greatly beneficial to my process in that it allowed me to better realize what I should be looking for in a career, both in terms of industries and type of role. The folks who would benefit from WOKEN includes anyone who is looking for direction in their professional life, or even simply looking to pivot. The advice, insight, and self-discovery is invaluable to anyone in any stage of their career. "

"I'm getting insight into roles I've never even thought about."
