Clarify and Pursue your Optimal Career Path

“Before using WOKEN, my level of career stress was relatively high. It was like a seven. Now, it is lower like 4, and part of that is because I am using WOKEN. Before I used WOKEN, I was like 4 re: career clarity. Now, I’m probably at an a 8. I feel a lot more confident. By talking to my career coach, she pushed my boundaries, so now, it is even stronger than it was back then. RE: the platform: I like the way it constructs. The way it splits into separate tabs like priorities tab and networking tab. I found that is helpful. I also like the reflection on networking calls. A lot of people just work on something but never reflect. It helps me to actively write down what to say, what you didn’t like about the call. It is actually pretty powerful.”

"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'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 was hoping for guidance on how to make the correct decision about my next career move. I was unhappy in my current position feeling unchallenged and unmotivated; I knew a change needed to be initiated. Prior to the discussion, I was not sure what direction I wanted to take. Through conversation, we were able to clarify my career goals and aspirations. One thing I learned through this process was: if you want a certain industry, why remain complacent? Go for it now. So, that is just what I did. With the motivation from our conversation, I applied to two opportunities that fell in the realm of what space I wanted to be in. As the following two weeks went by, I had multiple interviews for both positions. Two weeks later, I had offers from both positions. I was ecstatic. Per the guidance I received, I was able to leverage those offers against each other to maximize my salary, position and benefits. I am grateful I took the chance to do this because it allowed me to express my desires for career growth that I hadn't even fully shared with myself. Now I can say I am very excited to be moving into a new role which puts me on my path to success."

"I was working in a stereotypical dead-end job, with not only no career path, but no idea what my ideal job or career should be. I'm now about to start a new job and career that I feel confident about, both short and long-term. The greatest benefit, to me, was one-on-one meetings with my coach. The assessment stage was also greatly beneficial to my process in that it allowed me to better realize what I should be looking for in a career, both in terms of industries and type of role. The folks who would benefit from WOKEN includes anyone who is looking for direction in their professional life, or even simply looking to pivot. The advice, insight, and self-discovery is invaluable to anyone in any stage of their career. "
