The quality of work was amazing! For 4 months, my phone was silent and the day after my revised resume and cover letter was posted, my phone wouldn't stop ringing. Once Ken was done, my LinkedIn views increased by 150% and my phone rang consistently with hiring managers asking for an interview. Extremely knowledgeable about the job search process, tips and tricks of the trade. I was able to have an intelligent conversation about where I was in my career and where I wanted to go. We then devised a plan and executed it. I especially liked that he offered to reach out to the hiring managers of the companies that I was targeting, and he was able to provide a detailed company analysis, hiring manager profile, insights and tips for an upcoming interview. Great Work!

I decided that I needed career and job search coaching services to land more interviews and reposition my personal brand. After searching the internet and reading reviews for other coaches, I came across Ken’s LinkedIn profile and website and was struck by his depth of experience and successes. The time I invested in having Ken guide me in finding my next role was well worth it. Ken brings many years of wisdom and experience to the process. He is very knowledgeable in recruitment, job boards, job search processes, tips and tricks, resume writing and how the game is played. He brought honesty to the process, which is not always easy. He removed the blind spots that executives eventually develop when peering into themselves and their career paths to develop a compelling story for potential employers. Ken is an invaluable resource that every career-minded person should leverage when looking for their next career step. He steered me on a perfect course and stayed with me until the end. I will always be grateful for his guidance and being a sounding board during this pivotal point in my career. I highly endorse Ken and his career and job search coaching services. I signed an offer letter this week to be the Executive Director of an International Non-profit for $250,000 which was $50,000 more than my last position. Thanks, Ken

Ken knows his stuff. Top notch! Clear actionable insights to improve my probability for success. Clear recommendations, concise actions to take and cost effective! Strong value add!. Ken provided clear guidance why each of the boards were appropriate for my search, the difference between the boards and how to maximize my return from them. You cannot get better value for your money! Ken distilled my 20+ year career in public service and private enterprise into a great resume - Thanks Ken!

In addition, he has provided me with a game-plan on how to best utilize the job boards. Ken is a trusted partner and was enjoyable to work with.

Vice President of Human Resources - I was very skeptical of working with Ken in the beginning. Not because I didn't think he was knowledgeable but because I worked in HR for over 20 years and it didn't make sense to pay someone for something I had been doing my entire career. But I have to tell you, I could not have been more wrong. Ken communicated with me during the entire process. He gave me status updates and he was very knowledgeable in the recruitment, job boards, and job search arena. When he revised my resume and cover letter, it was a perfect picture of what my career had been for over 20 years. It told my story better than I would have thought to write it. I highly recommend anyone, no matter your career level to work with Ken, he will make you want to hire yourself (smile). Thank you, Ken.
