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.

"My coach is top-notch. She encourages self-reflection to clear mental hurdles that get in the way of career advancement, while also making sure that you leave every session with a specific and impactful to-do list to advance your search."
"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."
"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."
"I had genuinely no idea what I was meant to do with my life, I kept jumping from major to major in college before dropping out completely and flailing even more trying to find a career. I know that I want to go back to college, and I know what I want to study! I’m much more certain in the direction I’m going in! It gave me a set of steps to take that really made me look within myself, to take the pieces of my personality and combine them to match it with the right career. This process is best for anyone who may be even slightly unsure about their path, or even someone who wants a new career path! This process is for absolutely anyone who wants to improve their professional life! I am eternally grateful to you and to this process for giving me what I never thought I would achieve, and this isn’t even the end of it! I know that once we continue beyond the career exploration phase, I’ll find the perfect role for me and I can’t wait!"
"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 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.
"confidence to ride the networking wave after having discovered the best career direction for me."
"Getting started is the hardest part, but I felt like having someone to check in with every week or two weeks was what motivated me to actually do these things. I'm super comfortable with my career coach."
"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."
"The best part about working with WOKEN was being able to trust that there IS a job out there that will be a fantastic fit for me. It gave me the confidence to change careers and the resources I needed to find my new path and establish it firmly."
