I've tried to get help through this place twice. The first time, the experience ended with some…read morewoman telling me that if I can get a job at McDonald's. then take that. This time, the second time, my experience has been even more painful. Supposedly, I entered into some sort of "program" to get me employed but thus far it has been months of going around and around with one woman after another who has done nothing but refer me to "workshops" led by women who openly admit that they cannot get hired doing anything else. Yes, the Metro Career Center is clean, but I really wonder if some of these overly enthusiastic reviews on here are created by employees simply to ensure that the funding continues. The truth is that you can get a computer at the library. You can get a listing of temp agencies (that are not hiring) from Google. I can tell myself the basics of resume design. I can (even better) ask ChatGPT. My current "case manager" does nothing. She knows that I am going to go hungry soon so she sends me two links to dead-end job listings from companies that thus far have ignored my application. I'm not qualified to be a lot attendant for a parking company? Do I need two degrees for such a prestigious position? Now my case manager refuses to return my emails, even after I have begged for more help, or at least some moral support. Terrible. These Career Centers do nothing and are staffed by people who are otherwise unemployable themselves. As I've already written, the library also has free computers. The people at the Career Center claim that somewhere at the end of the rainbow there may be Department of Labor training, but you never get there. The pot of gold is a mirage. It's just the same thing over and over again, if you are even that lucky. Redo your resume. Redo your resume. Redo your resume. Get no job hits. San Diego's job market is the worst I've ever seen. Vastly too many people. And most of the people doing the hiring are very very biased and prejudicial about who they hire. Too old? Too this? Too that? Too bad. Get your shopping cart and pick a nice corner in a nearby parking lot to live. And no one cares. Even the people allegedly paid to help you. Five stars for superficial appearance. Zero stars for actually doing anything to help you get employed.

But I cannot give a review positive or negative on the quality of tax prep by this company.

The reviews made me realize that I could use Asha's services. Her website was clear and easy to navigate and schedule a session. We got on a call and Asha was quickly able to understand my core need and then ask the right questions to understand and identify some key blocks, strengths and weaknesses to be explored to develop clarity and strategy for use of my experience and talents to allow me to narrow my focus and get the responses I was looking for. If you're looking for someone to help you get clarity, understand your key road blocks, and develop strategies to work through them, time with Asha will be a very worthy investment into your career.

Trust the process! Working with Asha has been a journey that I can highly recommend. I came to her…read morebecause I was experiencing stagnation in my career and almost no results from my job searches. For the last 8 years I was stuck in a career and industry that was not my passion, which did not offer any further advancement and the financial situation was far from satisfactory. I had almost lost my hope & confidence. Asha listened to my issues, learned about my unique situation and was able to develop a very clear strategy for me as early as our initial session. After our decision to work together, she helped me overcome many hurdles and confront issues that were holding me back for many years: financial, emotional, my mindset, beliefs, and self-imposed limitations. She tailored exercises, assignments, and meetings that helped me realize my potential. She helped me apply my skills, talents and dedicate my energy to what I needed to do, to finally generate results I wanted. Asha noticed in me skills and talents that I've never knew I had. It helped me broaden my horizons and it allowed me to be open to more successful job opportunities I've had not considered before. I've completely changed the ways I've been doing things. I was able to successfully update my resume, cover letters, online presence, and most importantly my attitudes and confidence. I finally got multiple job offers, in my ideal industry, for much better income and with better growth opportunities. Now I really enjoy being interviewed, and I receive great interest and feedback from potential employers. I am being selected to move forward with the hiring process over other candidates.

Career and Life-Changing!…read more Working with Karie is the best investment I've ever made in my business. Even after earning a MBA from the Rady School at UC San Diego and 6 years of working hard to build my firm, she was able to absolutely revolutionize the way I run my company. Not only are revenues up 60%, my stress level and total work hours are down at least 50%. We immediately saw results on our bottom line within a month or two of working together. A year later, my whole world is different (in a good way!). I've learned to create the processes to run the business efficiently and to get the right people in the right roles. We've cleaned up the systems and prepared the business for a potential sale! I couldn't be happier with the work I've done with Karie and her team. My only regret is that I was referred to her a full year prior to working with her, and I don't know why I waited so long. Highly recommended, worth every penny and more!

This event is the EXACT opposite. You truly leave this event with a week-by-week plan for the next quarter that is based on where your business is at today and your goals for the future. You have a full day of coaching and education that is worth easily 10x what they charge. The networking is phenomenal - and that's saying something as I attend this event virtually from Washington! Karie is a wealth of knowledge and insight and an incredible educator. I know several of her clients that she's worked with and the results they have seen in their businesses have been nothing short of AMAZING.

As a female business owner running a publication, the developer repeatedly minimized serious functional issues by labeling them as merely "cosmetic." In reality, these were not cosmetic issues at all--they impacted presentation, credibility, and the integrity of a live publication platform. For a business website, particularly a magazine platform, those details matter. Unfortunately, this interaction revealed a deeper issue: a lack of respect for the client's standards and vision. The implication that these concerns were simply "cosmetic" reflects a misunderstanding of professional publishing and the expectations of a serious business owner. Ironically, this experience will likely become material for a future editorial discussion in my magazine's upcoming issue, as it highlights a broader and very real conversation about professionalism, accountability, and how female-led businesses are sometimes dismissed in technical industries.
