"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."
"confidence to ride the networking wave after having discovered the best career direction for me."
I realized that it is okay to want something different out of a job/career than your friends, family, colleagues, etc. I learned how to network! And to incorporate an element of experimentation into my career. Make a hypothesis, try something out, adjust as necessary. I grew my Linkedin network. I received and accepted a job offer, and I started a new job! I clarified that I want a larger team to work with. I feel more confident now making career changes.
"It's a good thing that you can't jump around in the platform and you have to focus on one section at a time before moving on to the next."
"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. "
"Made me reflect on what I really wanted for myself in a regimented way."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"I feel much more confident and am in a significantly better place after using the WOKEN platform. I appreciated that my coach went above and beyond the scope of coaching to help when I shared challenges with motivation. There is no question that my coach wants me to succeed and is continuously focused on asking the right questions, gathering the right information, and being strategic every step of the way. It was a pleasure to work with my career coach and I look forward to staying in touch."
