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.

"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."
"I think this platform is incredible for professionals (and/or college students) who are struggling to put together an action plan towards having a more satisfying career."
"Just wanted to reach out to say thanks again for all your help with my career transition. I've been working for an EdTech company that's checking off all my boxes, and you played such a big role in this happening. I really appreciate you not letting me settle, teaching skills to network efficiently, and the encouragement and confidence gave me to pursue a job outside my norm. Thank you!"
"The best part about the WOKEN process was the guidance/support. I didn't have to think about what was next."
"There is a difference between being casually interested and actually wanting to live, eat, and breathe an industry/role."
"I have clarity on my path! The primary benefit was putting structure to the networking process. This would be beneficial for people who are looking for a structured approach to the job discovery and search process."
"I LOVED the assessment! It was really helpful to spend so much time reflecting, and I noticed several themes popping up over and over."
"I love your follow up strategy. It keeps me focused and prepared."
"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."
"As a career changer, I was very lost, confused, frustrated and desperate to find the right professional path for myself before starting WOKEN. I had moments where I wasn't sure I would find what I was looking for, but I did and I'm ecstatic. My confidence and motivation have grown exponentially. I'm so happy to have finally found purpose and direction! The platform provided a road map, many points of reflection and questions that I had not considered in the past. Unlocking the next stages after completing each section helped keep me on track and bring me back to focus on my goals. Here's who I think would benefit from WOKEN: He/she/they who are ready to take on the challenge of finding professional direction and experience that holds their interest and keeps them motivated and excited. Also, for the individual who is tired of mindlessly applying to jobs without results or purpose beyond getting out of a toxic environment or following the status quo. If you're ready to land the career that brings you joy, aligns with your values, addresses what matters to you and that you deserve, act, and make moves because this is for you."
