"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."
"...direction about how to find the most interesting and compelling work for myself...the platform makes the confusing, open-ended process of career exploration much clearer and manageable."
"Structured approach to research/learning, a proactive way to channel career uncertainty/anxiety, accountability."
"Probably the most helpful feature is just the fact that the relationship with my career coach. My career coach texts me, talks to me, and reminds me to do stuff. Like that there is the most important problems in my life, and I'm extensively trying really hard to solve, and it becomes so easy. Having her touch base and offering encouragement, resources, and insights, just kind of helps me keep my highest self interest in mind, so that's huge. I will definitely work with my career coach for sure. It does provide a really valuable snapshot of a lot of things like change jobs or how to get my dream job. I can even use this system again on my own."
"During the past few months, I’ve been working with my career coach to help determine what my next career steps are. I entered the process feeling stuck, defeated and open to suggestions for finding what my path and purpose is. Through the assessment, the one-on-one coaching, the group coaching sessions (realizing I’m not alone and hearing others’ strategies), and self-reflection and journaling, I now feel SO FREE, excited, & relieved in pursuing my PhD in Psychology. During the process, I have been overwhelmed with gratitude for my career coach and her team at WOKEN for her grace and expertise in helping me get there. I now feel like I’m doing what I was put in this universe to do, and I have never felt so much joy or freedom in my vocational pursuits." #gratitude #coaching #freedom #reflection #dothework #getunstuck
"As I'm going through a career change myself, from being a lawyer to pursuing my passion as a UX designer, I could not relate more to WOKEN's mission and I truly believe in your product's value proposition and potential. After graduating from law school, I felt like I didn't have the tools to make an informed decision about my professional future and worked as a lawyer just because it was the natural path. Thanks to you, I now know the importance of self-reflection to ask the right question that would lead to the right answers about your career path."
"confidence to ride the networking wave after having discovered the best career direction for me."
"I love that this process is giving me the permission to think outside the box."
"My experience has been very good actually. It has given me a lot of tools that I wouldn't come up with them if I didn't have WOKEN, like tools with networking and lots of tips. My career stress is horrible before I used WOKEN. From a scale of 1 to 10, It was like 10 out of 10. Right now I'm not really stressed. I am like a breath of fresh air. You know, like, I think it's a new path, a new experience. It's going to give me exposure. It guides me very well like cover letter, the structure of resume, I like how organized it is, for like clean your contact and read the description of each networking phrase. I will rate it 10, honestly. I think the fact that my career coach has been helping whenever I have doubts, I can always call her. That has been very very helpful."
"My career coach was available 24/7 and really diligent about ensuring that I was doing my part. I'm really confident now in what I need to do and I wouldn't have been able to discover what I want to do next without her guidance."
