Client Testimonials

Situation: Three years ago, Lisa was working as an Executive Administrative Assistant, supporting eight Department Directors. Her performance was far beyond her job title, and she aspired to a higher-level position within city government. We collaborated on refining her resume, which led to an interview and a new job offering $70,000—a 40% salary increase. After just two years, Lisa enlisted my help again to pursue an even higher position.

Following two challenging rounds of interviews, Lisa secured a new position with a salary of $103,000. In just three years, she had more than doubled her salary. Even better, she is now poised to advance to an even higher level within the next year.

Lisa Bailey

Assistant City Clerk, 100% Increase in 3 years

Situation: Jake had willingly left his position because he just didn’t like the culture. For 8 months, he searched for a job. There were quite a few interviews, but he always came in second, or not at all.

Working together:“We explored every line of his resume, adding in results – money saved and client contracts won. In the process, we identified many STAR stories for his interviews, plus Jake’s superpower: understanding BOTH the technology and the sales process. He also took on the idea of asking for the job. He was hired after a team interview when one of the salesmen said, “We need Jake on our team. He’s a closer.”

Jake Mooreland

Sales Engineer, From stagnant for 8 months to a job offer in 12 days!

Situation: Cecilia was working as a Senior Training Specialist for a home loan company. Each quarter, she was given more responsibility, more employees to train, more locations to cover, and difficult subject matter like home mortgage underwriting. We expanded the statements for her current responsibilities and added the substantial load she had taken on being a business advisor to top management. We also gave her credit for revamping dozens of courses to include new regulations. Her keywords were upgraded to reflect the higher-level work she was already doing, and the higher-level job she desired. Her 54% income jump came within 2 years of starting her new job.

Cecilia Adams

Training Program Manager, 54% Learning & Development Leader

 

“My job search had lasted 6 long months, and I was starting to feel desperate. Since I had an interview scheduled, we jumped into preparing my career stories for the interview. After just 40 minutes, the hiring manager said, ‘Let’s stop now and let him meet the team.’ A week later, I was on Zoom with 8 salespeople. Talk about intimidation! I kept my cool, told my stories, and finally, I ASKED for the job. Just as we had practiced. One of the team members said, ‘Well, he’s a closer, and we need him.’ I got the job at a salary higher than ever before. I never would have had the courage to close if I hadn’t been coached by Catherine.”

Jim W., Software Sales Engineer

I wanted to let you know that your work with me those many years ago helped me in several ways. I have struggled for over 8 years and worked survival jobs. But I never gave up because you believed in me. Recently, at the age of 75, I snagged a position at a major insurance company. I have been in training for 72 days, with two more weeks to go. The position is Insurance Professional – Sales & Service III. I am a newbie sitting in an inbound call center helping members of our military services and their families make decisions about their insurance needs. It is a bottom of the totem pole position but with strong possibilities for advancement. The company has amazing benefits. I never gave up! It is my intention to stay there until I can no longer work. I consider myself to be a very lucky man. And in many ways, you contributed to this – with your creativity, your coaching, and your unfailing faith in me.

So, thank you for what you do!

-Peter B., Senior Sales Consultant

I have worked with other career coaches and resume writers who are good at their craft.  Since working with Catherine, though, I know she truly is the “whole package”. Her knowledge and years of experience speak for themselves.  She is plugged into the latest and current trends. 
She is genuine, personable, and authentic.  She really and truly cares about you!  If you “shop”
the field, you’ll discover her rates competitive, if not better.  Catherine is a true go-getter and is authentically passionate about her career! And, helping you with yours!  I highly recommend
Catherine Jewell. She really is a jewel.
