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.

"The questionnaire is really helpful to get me started thinking about what kind of interests I have and where my skills are. It was helpful to research industries and to give me a program to get started and figure out how to transition to different jobs and verify what I actually want to do for certain jobs. The surveys in the beginning were really helpful. I like the call prep - the one that give a quick overview. I also like the cover letter and resume review."
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.
"When I started using the WOKEN platform I was confused about my next career step. I had decided to leave a full-time position in creative video production in exchange for freelance work, but needed guidance and direction about how to find the most interesting and compelling work for myself. I am now starting a new full time position with a healthcare organization and am more confident in my career trajectory.My experience was extremely positive. my career coach is very supportive and the platform makes the confusing, open-ended process of career exploration much clearer and manageable.By providing benchmarks for progress, templates for important documents, and direction for networking strategies, the WOKEN platform provided me with many benefits. It worked great for me specifically as someone in the creative field looking to make a mid-career switch, however I see the benefits could be even MORE beneficial for recent college graduates or people in more traditional fields with more straightforward trajectories."
"I am so excited to have landed what feels like an ideal role for me (I accepted today!) and can't thank you enough for your help in this process. Leaving my current world felt incredibly intimidating, and your coaching combined with the WOKEN resources demystified the process for me and gave me the confidence I needed to seek not just "a" job but the right job. I owe you my gratitude. Your advice has been invaluable. Thanks again for all of your advice and encouragement in this process. You are truly great at your job!"
"Structured approach to research/learning, a proactive way to channel career uncertainty/anxiety, accountability."
"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."
"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."
"I learned what direction I’m meant to go in, I know what field I want to go in now and it’s super relieving, I can’t wait to finish the process!"
"I LOVED the assessment! It was really helpful to spend so much time reflecting, and I noticed several themes popping up over and over."
"The accountability, direction, and motivation from my career coach. And also, really taking the time to reflect on what I have done, what my strengths, weaknesses, and what I can do, through the platform."
