"Vicky is the second career coach I have worked with, and the clear difference is she personalized the coaching to align with me. After being laid off from a company I have worked with for 18 years, I was at an impasse in my career: Do I take the known road or dig deep and shift? Although staying with what I knew was very tempting, I wanted the career change - the unchartered road. New to today's way of recruiting, Vicky partnered with me to sort out next steps, asked important questions to keep me focused on my north star, provided tools to navigate job searching, branding + growing my mindset, propelling me get to the heart of my next career chapter. She introduced me to some amazing people as part of my networking exercise, created a resume that I love, assisted me with cover letters, supported and guided me when I was overwhelmed by it all helping me stay on track. I very much appreciate how she was a voice of reason and not judgement. Soon enough she helped me review my offer for the position that is the first story in my new career! I am very grateful to Vicky for her insights, humor, and proactiveness, shifting this nerve-wracking space into an exciting journey!"

"Before working with Vicky I had a hard time explaining how my job translated to my job search targets on the resume! My position was very complex, and I really needed my leadership skills to shine through to align with the Executive Director roles I was targeting. After working on the resume with Vicky, I was able to land interviews at the organizations I applied to and the HR manager I met today literally said I have no questions about your resume, it makes sense to me. I feel more confident in my job search now that my resume truly supports my job search process instead of acting like a barrier."

- Andy

"As a career changer, I had a hard time articulating how my experience as a police officer would translate to a security and intelligence analyst in the corporate world. I hired Vicky to rewrite and design my resume and it made such a difference in my ability to communicate my value add-none of the recruiters or hiring managers I met had questions about how my background fit into the roles I was interviewing for. I recently accepted a job offer as a Data Center Security Manager and I know my resume played a big role in the process!"

"Highly recommend Vicky for advice on evaluating new job opportunities and salary negotiations - she excels at helping clarify goals, weigh pros and cons, and consider next steps. When it was time to move forward with a salary negotiation, she helped me identify and organize my requests and refine my approach - when my negotiation was over I knew there was no dollar amount or benefit that I left on the table, thanks to our planning session. Can’t imagine doing a salary negotiation without her!"

- Dorise

"Being a young professional is like working in a vortex of uncertainty, confusion, and doubt (exaggeration but still). Especially when figuring out how to change sectors early on in my career. Working with Victoria not only gave me well needed direction but also reassurance that my goals were attainable with a bit of tweaking. Through 3 sessions we were able to pinpoint what I was interested in professionally and which interests aligned with my skill set. It was a good mix of research on my end and guidance on Victoria's end that led to an amazing resume and clarity. I will definitely work with Victoria again and will recommend any young professional to work with her also."

"I can't say enough about Vicky, she has been a pivotal piece in helping me navigate many aspects of my career, and I have continued to turn to her for advice well beyond graduating college. I had met previously with many career coaches, but after I met with Vicky, I made sure to exclusively go to her for all my career needs. Vicky helped me with everything from fine tuning my resume, practicing interviewing skills, and developing key areas to stand out as an applicant. On a broader level, Vicky constantly asked big picture questions to help me establish direction and focus for my career goals, and partnered with me in developing a strategy to achieve those goals. In addition, she provided great tools and a framework for how to think about my career in the short and long term.
