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.

I felt stuck and helpless, knowing that I wanted to leave my current role and work environment but not knowing the concrete steps to get that process started. Now, I feel confident that I can make changes in my career as I see fit. The main benefits of the platform for me was accountability, concrete steps from my coach, and breaking down the goals into smaller steps by only unlocking steps in the platform after the previous one had been created. People that would benefit from WOKEN include college students and recent grads; people deciding whether to go to school or join the workforce; career changers; anyone who is in their career but is unsure why!
"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."
"I am just ending week 3 in my new position and I wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for all your help in positioning myself to take on a new direction in my career, and all the research on the WOKEN platform that helped me get into an industry that I'm super excited about. I can't thank you enough for all your help in preparation. I will absolutely be letting my friends and colleagues know about your platform, should they feel the same way I did about the job search before finding you. :)"
"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 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!"
"Just wanted to reach out to say thanks again for all your help with my career transition. I've been working for an EdTech company that's checking off all my boxes, and you played such a big role in this happening. I really appreciate you not letting me settle, teaching skills to network efficiently, and the encouragement and confidence gave me to pursue a job outside my norm. Thank you!"
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"The guidance that you built into this tool has been super helpful-- thank you for creating this!"
