"WOKEN has been super helpful during a time of uncertainty. I knew I wanted to switch industries/career path but I was struggling to find a clear path. After filling out the questions and talking with my career coach pretty frequently, I finally felt confident on my direction and where I wanted to take my next step in my career. To have a platform that has outlined the clear steps in the what, where, why and how I have been able to find the company and role of my dreams! my career coach has been the best support system throughout this journey, literally working with me every step of the way. She has been the best sounding board, editor and guidance coach! Thank you for pushing me when I was doubting myself and for always keeping it real. "

"I personally think our conversation opened the door to me thinking about a move into education / being open to a move into education. I often think about you as people ask me how I approached this career transition - you were really the first person to push me to focus on what *I* wanted to do, rather than using it as a relative tiebreaker factor. "

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.

"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."

"Guiding through the networking process. Networking is typically an uncomfortable experience for me, but the platform gave me the guidance and structure to make it more manageable."

"I feel much more confident and am in a significantly better place after using the WOKEN platform. I appreciated that my coach went above and beyond the scope of coaching to help when I shared challenges with motivation. There is no question that my coach wants me to succeed and is continuously focused on asking the right questions, gathering the right information, and being strategic every step of the way. It was a pleasure to work with my career coach and I look forward to staying in touch."

"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!"

"I would recommend WOKEN to anyone who wants to spend a bit of time really considering the best career path before diving head-first into the job search. As a mid-career professional, I was not sure that I needed career exploration, but I got a lot of value out of this step. Without this service, I know I would have wasted a lot of time applying to roles that were not a great fit for me. Having the confidence to approach the process with patience allowed me to land not just a job, but a great job that feels perfectly suited to me."

"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 love that this process is giving me the permission to think outside the box."
