"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!"
"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. "
"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."
"The platform provided an intuitive and well-organized way to approach career exploration and the job search that improved efficiency. I knew that I was spending my time in a way that would have maximum impact. Biweekly coaching check-ins helped me to manage my time and stay on track, and coaching sessions were packed with actionable insight."
"Can't tell you how much it helps having your support and having you in my corner! Helps with all the stress, thoughts and anxiousness so much! Thank you!"
"I was introduced to my career coach and WOKEN when I was starting to think seriously about leaving my teaching career. I had realized that teaching was not a career where my strengths could be best utilized, but I didn't know what else I could do with my degree. Through the WOKEN process, I was able to deep dive into finding my strengths and interests. As I continued the process, I felt more and more confident that I could find a way out of my career and into something that I loved. After taking the process at my own pace, I landed a job that I am SO excited to get started in! I don't think I could have confidently made this huge career change without the guidance of the WOKEN team and process. I would highly recommend WOKEN to anyone still figuring out where they belong in the work force."
"I couldn’t have done it without you. Honestly."
"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 started using WOKEN at a time in my professional life when I was very direction-less. I was confused and unsure. I had been in a role that was not a good fit for me and what I wanted to do, but I felt stuck and out-of-control as to how and when to make a change. The biggest difference after using the WOKEN platform is a mindset change. My coach's confidence rubbed off on me, really just because I feel prepared now. I feel informed. I feel like I am in control now and that naturally lowers anyone's anxiety. What was the biggest benefit for me was not just keeping myself accountable, but USING the platform's tools to make things easier for me. Tracking who I wanted to network with, which companies I wanted to target, notes from networking calls, as well as questions I wanted to ask. It acted as a central hub to keep myself organized through what I assumed initially would be a very chaotic process. And practically, the direction in updating my resume was SO valuable! ...Who should use WOKEN? Everyone. People who naturally have networking and "career-building" personalities would probably thrive with the platform, but people like myself who find professional networking more challenging would benefit immensely from the guidance the platform provides. It's not magic and it's not EASY. It takes a lot of work, just like anything. But it is guidance. It is specific direction. It is not vague or ambiguous. It is a toolbox for anyone confused or unsure about their next professional move."
"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."
