Learn how we helped Holly to be proactive, structured, and deliberate in understanding her transferrable skills, confidently deciding on which career direction felt most compatible, and successfully pivoting into that path.
We hear people often say, "where do I start?" or "I fell into this career path instead of choosing a path intentionally" or "money isn't enough anymore, I need to find fulfillment at work" and much more.

"WOKEN has been super helpful during a time of uncertainty. I knew I wanted to switch industries/career path but I was struggling to find a clear path. After filling out the questions and talking with my career coach pretty frequently, I finally felt confident on my direction and where I wanted to take my next step in my career. To have a platform that has outlined the clear steps in the what, where, why and how I have been able to find the company and role of my dreams! my career coach has been the best support system throughout this journey, literally working with me every step of the way. She has been the best sounding board, editor and guidance coach! Thank you for pushing me when I was doubting myself and for always keeping it real. "
"You've been an amazing help!!! I couldn't have done this without your support and encouragement, especially in my darkest days these past few months."
"Everything I have done so far has been valuable. Thank you!! I think this is a really great platform. Thank you for making me take a step back and trust the process!! "
"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!"
"My career coach was a wonderful coach and was great about keeping me calm during the most stressful parts of the search. This was helpful in helping me reach my own conclusion about the type of company I should end up at and making sure that I was calm throughout the process. I was in the middle of a job search process, uncertain about which type of organization I should pursue. I am very happy at a new job that is paying $35k more than my last role. I benefited from understanding the pros and cons of different types of organizations/ industries. Early stage professionals uncertain of their next steps should consider this platform. Thanks for everything!"
"Thanks again for the call today. I always get so much from our sessions."
"I've made changes at my current job, and am working to make a move to a new industry when the time is right. I feel reinvigorated, and I really don't think I could have gotten to where I am now without the support and guidance that I got from working with my career coach. While I will say, the work has to come from the individual. No one will do any of these things for you. Working with my career coach gave me the confidence to reach out and talk to strangers. It facilitated my journey of finding what I need to be doing with my career, and I couldn't be more grateful."
"I just want some certainty and rationality. I feel your plan is more strategic than mine was."
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!
"Thanks so much for all of your help and for pushing me to pursue a better career for myself. I wanted to let you know I was recently offered a new job last week and I'm going to accept it tomorrow. I think WOKEN is amazing and you are truly going to help so, so many people. Thank you again for all the work and time you committed to help me pursue the best opportunities. I really appreciate it!!"
