"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

"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 found the mission statement writing is super helpful. It helped me to find the industry I want to work for and find what jobs specifically I want verse a broad picture. It helped me to find the job opportunities in the industry that I might not think about it before and It is good to breakdown the career things."

"I’m so grateful to have worked with my coach at WOKEN. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and overall a great coach - she knows when to support, when to push a little harder, and how to help her clients get out of their own way. I can’t recommend her highly enough."

"My career coach was a wonderful coach and was great about keeping me calm during the most stressful parts of the search. This was helpful in helping me reach my own conclusion about the type of company I should end up at and making sure that I was calm throughout the process. I was in the middle of a job search process, uncertain about which type of organization I should pursue. I am very happy at a new job that is paying $35k more than my last role. I benefited from understanding the pros and cons of different types of organizations/ industries. Early stage professionals uncertain of their next steps should consider this platform. Thanks for everything!"

"The best part about working with WOKEN was being able to trust that there IS a job out there that will be a fantastic fit for me. It gave me the confidence to change careers and the resources I needed to find my new path and establish it firmly."

"This process is important to me because I need to be happy in life---and not miserable at my job EVERY day. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. I'm excited about it all."

"Before I started the WOKEN process I felt stuck in my current job without a good idea of how to move forward or even where I wanted to go. I had spoken to career coaches and my school's career services department and always came aways came away discouraged. I did not know how to orient myself towards a career and a future that I actually found desirable. I was experiencing the dilemma of present discomfort, a sense of being 'stuck' and lacking direction. Overall, not a great place to be! The WOKEN process really is different. From day one, taking action to determine my real skills and genuine interests lit a spark and gave me hope that I could not only identify work I could find deep enjoyment and engagement with--I could actually make a career out of work like that. I am still working the system, but have managed to narrow my options down (in a good way!) to a manageable number of very attractive and attainable outcomes. The sense of peace and relief is really incredible The main benefits of the platform are two fold: the WOKEN process provides a concrete framework for zeroing in on attractive and attainable career options that really are tailored to YOUR interests and passions and an amazing team (especially my career coach!) who will keep you grounded, motivated and provide direction as needed throughout the process. This is very different from most career coaching services! Who should pursue this. Anyone who is not currently in their dream job. Even if you are happy where you are working I am confident this team can help you gain insights about directions to head in--even within your current role! I cannot recommend WOKEN highly enough."

"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."

"Before WOKEN, I had just left a career I was in for almost ten years, and didn't know what to do next. I knew I needed a change, but didn't know where to start. I also knew that my resume and how I presented myself would need to change to reflect my new career path, and I definitely needed help with that. Now, I know what I want to do and have learned a variety of useful tools to help me find a job that's right for me. The primary benefits of the platform for me were figuring out what my next career goals were and how to present myself using my resume, cover letter, and Linkedin to be more attractive to those opportunities. Anyone who is unsure of the direction of their career or someone who is job hunting and needs help with resumes, interviews, and job applications should leverage WOKEN."
