Hunter coached me through this process. I can't say enough good things about her. She is professional, kind, and a fantastic listener. She really listens to everything I'm saying and is able to understand and get at the core of what it is I am saying, sometimes before I even know what it really is I'm trying to communicate. Since she was able to understand me so well, she was able to provide me with good takeaways. She also asks great questions that help reveal more insights. I started going through this process with hardly a guess on what I may want to do next. The Inner Compass Process helped me get very clear on what my values are and what talents I want to be utilizing in my next job. Hunter and I talked together about some jobs that involve these values and talents and now I know which job I want to pursue. I even said I'd prefer to not go back to school and we found a job role with no extra education required. Thank you Hunter!

I started working with Hunter about 6 months ago and it was the best decision I've ever made!! I've…read morebeen working in the same industry for over 20 years and knew I needed out, but honestly has NO CLUE what I wanted to do with my life. I remember during my initial free phone consult, just feeling so completely defeated with no direction... and after only 20 minutes of talking with Hunter, I felt hope for the first time in years. She has such a calmness and kind heart that made me feel at ease opening up to her, yet an indescribable passion and fire that made me believe that at the end of this, I was going to be able to achieve greatness! Even when I didn't believe in myself, I truly felt that she did, and that kept me going. The way this program works is really magical. Danielle did a great job of putting this together, because I honestly do not think I would have finished with the same outcome, using another method. It takes you back to your childhood and forces you to dig deep into distant memories, both happy and sad, and really has you dissect the reasons behind the feelings of these memories and why they had the impact they did. It continues to move on throughout your life, thinking of situations and stories that left both good and bad tastes in your mouth, and then goes back and compares these to the childhood memories. It's amazing the patterns and similarities that I discovered along the way. As fascinating as this all was, at the halfway point of the program, I still had absolutely no idea where this was leading and if I'd ever be able to find something that was right for me. I started to worry that I was not going to be a success story, like all those I read about in the Yelp and Google reviews, and I may have just wasted my money. I expressed these concerns to Hunter and she reassured me that this was NOT going to be the case. She said that she believed in me and my journey and that she knew we would find the perfect career path that was meant for me, so I had no other choice but to trust her. I always left my zoom meetings with Hunter, feeling so hopeful and truly inspired! I remember telling her on one of our first sessions, that I always felt so good after talking with her, that I wanted to do what she did! I told her that I wanted to be someone's Hunter; the reason someone smiled again, found their confidence and felt hopeful for a better future, after coming from a place of negativity and defeat. Even though I said this early on, it didn't hit me until much later in the game, that I my true passion was in coaching. I have decided to leave my long time career aviation and go into wellness coaching, focusing on fitness, nutrition and mindfulness. Never in a million years, would I have come into this program thinking I'd have a skills or bravery to leave the corporate world and start my own coaching business, but that is exactly what I am in the process of doing! I owe Hunter more thanks and appreciation than I will ever be able to express, for this truly insane and much needed career transformation!

Alana is a gifted professional in the recruiting space. She helped me while I was still in the…read morediscovery phase of my next career step. Specifically, she taught me a very helpful framework that would give me clarity into what I wanted next, but also into what I actually needed. Alana thus helped me set clear boundaries and discover what my next step looked like. Once this was clear, one of the most difficult parts of my work was done. Alana is able to play a very personal role in helping you achieve your career goal. She takes her time to listen and understand your inner needs very well before she comes up with a plan. She truly believes that we all have a potential which we can achieve, if we take the right steps to get there. Once Alana understands your inner needs, she is able to easily unlock any personal or professional limitations and help you fulfill your potential by focusing on the specific areas that need action. I would highly recommend Alana to anyone who needs guidance with their career, seeks help regarding the job market, has uncertainties about the psychological part behind getting your dream job, is interested in recruiting -- her knowledge & experience around the area is incredible; or simply getting to know a gifted soul! :)

Alana will take the time to understand you as a person and provide counseling beyond what could be expected of a typical 'HR-type' looking to fill their next open position. With her inside experience she is able to guide your resume, conversation skills, and expectations to highlight your skills and strengths, and help you expose potential employers to the 'you' they really want to meet. This can be difficult for those with 'engineering minds' like myself who tend to be more objective, and Alana definitely helped me step out of that box. Most recently, I worked with Alana to update and improve my resume. After a single session we had completely re-worked one section of my resume to better reflect 'my voice' and clearly state my accomplishments in a way that highlighted my abilities as well as reflecting my personality. The difference from the initial draft I sent her to the final draft I used for interviews is subtle but dramatic, and I am positive it played a role in the callbacks I received. To hand over a resume that truly represents you makes everything that follows more natural, and that is a HUGE deal when making career moves! Beyond the resume, Alana was there to talk out any concerns, nerves, and provide encouragement throughout multiple levels of interviews and offer negotiations, something that can be overwhelming for someone at any level of professional experience. She has helped me aim higher than I would have on my own and provided the insider confidence I needed to push for the best possible outcomes. Could not recommend anyone higher; do yourself and your future a favor and let Alana guide you through your next professional moves.

For me there was so much uncertainty surrounding my work life due to the pandemic, it spiraled me into a bad place of panic and anxiety. Enter Megan and fruition coaching. After our first chat she taught me a powerful tri-ad that truly works in any situation (personal and professional). I was focusing on the "what ifs" of life which I didn't have the answers to. Megan coached me into focusing on "what's good" and it changed everything. I've always believed we're all lifelong learners and I'm constantly working to change the way my brain asks itself questions to focus on what's good. Megan helped my anxiety disappear by teaching me the tools I needed. I'm forever grateful for her coaching as it shifts the way I've been thinking to see a situation with a fresh perspective. Her program is tailored to who you are individually to propel you to your best self so you can live your most rewarding life. It's worth every penny spent as you'll start to see a shift in yourself and the way you look at the world and that is invaluable. THANK YOU Megan!

One thing I wish I had known beforehand is how important it is to have a clear idea of the specific type of role you're targeting before starting the resume process. During a job search--which can be incredibly stressful and uncertain--I didn't feel that my experience or challenges were fully understood or acknowledged. Navigating a job search takes strategy, reflection, and support, and unfortunately, I didn't feel there was much empathy offered throughout this process.

I paid my $498 and they did what they do, changes were made etc, and before long I was sending my resumes and letters were being sent out but I got zero response. I still didn't feel it was saying the right things the right way for my industry so a few more changes were made but I had the same lack of results. I stepped away, changed a few things myself and sent it to people direct and I got a better response and even some work. I chalked the money spent, at a time when I couldn't really afford it, and the experience I had up to it being 'just one of those things' that don't work out for me and my situation and I moved on. Not long after I got a year long contract as well as some other work (but that was through my work in general, a recommendation, and my self-tweaked resume). With both their resume and the one I did, I got very little pick up via job ads. Flash forward to late 2020 and PTCS reach out to get feedback on the service I received. I explained how it hadn't worked for me and I had drawn a line under it, and we set up another consultation. I also provided copies of the current resume I had made. Donna, who is lovely, ran tests and gave me the results, and that was kind of it as 90 day options had long run out. The most significant advice I got was to open a Jobscan account/subscription and read chapter 11 of the book I got as part of my package. Should I have gone back again within the 90 days? Maybe, but I wanted to draw a line under it and try a different approach (which included getting industry friends to input on my resume). All I know is that while Personal Touch Career Services have been great for some people, and I'm delighted that's the case, working with them didn't get results for me. Also, if you're reaching out after 90 days to get feedback and offer help and the main response is, 'We can't do what we could have done because it's after 90 days,' that doesn't feel like the best result to offer. It certainly won't make me look at giving PTCS more of my money. They might work for you, they're certainly nice people to deal with, but for someone working in journalism and production for over 25 years, it didn't bear fruit in my case.

Amy gave me the confidence I needed to dive into the job hunt. The main reason I chose Amy was because of her approach to coaching where she focused on strengths, values and positivity. What I loved the most about working with her was that her recommendations were always based on who I am as a person. She spent a lot of time getting to know me, which helped the both of us become grounded in who I am. She listened to me with energy and without judgement. Although she was technically my "career coach", she organically gave thoughtful advice that helped guide my new life, which I didn't realize I needed until these sessions. When I felt bad about not prioritizing my job search, she encouraged me to take the time I needed to build healthy habits that would stick with me for the rest of my life (meditation, running, yoga). After moving across the country without a secure job and without my family around for emotional support, Amy was really the first person to tell me that I should be confident in the skills I had going into my new life here in Colorado. Above all, she showed me how I can lean into my personal strengths, by helping me see how even my softest skills can be used to make me stand out in the work place. As someone fresh into their career, it was incredibly helpful for me to learn how to tailor my experience & personal strengths to fit the job requirements in even an unrelated field. When there were long periods of time in between sessions and I'd feel unsure again about my decision to quit my job in NYC and move to Denver, I'd meet with Amy and she'd remind me that I am more than capable of making this work. I loved my time working with Amy and feel grateful for the confidence she gave me to succeed!

While, I was certain I had the skills, most employers overlook resumes of applicants such as myself who don't have "x years of experience" in a given position. I fancy myself a talented writer and have always thought myself a solid resume writerI started like most people do, revising my resume to the best of my ability using resource sites I found online with sample resumes. There are MANY suggestions, but I found there really is no definitive consensus for what is going to catch an employers eye. Ignoring the warnings, I pushed forward submitting the resume I wrote in hopes of landing a job that will get me the position I need to build a successful resume. The response to my self-written resume was dissappointing to say the least. With flexibility in my personal life, I submitted resumes to at least 15 different companies in 3 cities and received ZERO responses. Not even one. That's extraordinarily discouraging for someone who feels they just need to get into the room to land just a temp or contract position. I was brought close to tears at the thought of some of the reports I read of people finding introductory level positions in my field after 1-2 years. I was unable and unwilling to wait that long so I had to change something. I couldn't get my foot in the door so I needed a resume expert. I did quite a bit of research on which company wrote the best resumes. I considered top google results, but they had, almost universally, one complaint: the writing seemed outsourced. I almost pulled the trigger on a particular option that seemed "good enough" before, while yelping, I discovered Career Magic. I liked the idea of supporting someone local. There's an added measure of confidence seeing that Tracy is based in the United States, that she brings legitimate qualifications to the table and that she offers a personalized experience. I took the plunge, shot here [Tracy] an email to get suggestions on how to move forward with the resume I had already written. She suggested we give editing by email (the entry level job seeker level) a shot, so I purchased this package and we got to work. Yes, there is some small work required on your part such as sending her sample job postings and answering questions, but this is MINIMAL compared to the benefits her work provides. After 3 or so days, I received the first draft and was blown away by the changes she had already made. My resume had entirely new formatting complete with revised sections and a comprehensive list of my own qualifications which we worked through together. We emailed back and forth several times before the final draft was completed, making changes to various items until we had a satisfactory final product. I finally got my tears, in the form of sheer joy of looking at what she had produced and the potential it might bring. In addition to my resume, I also had her compose a cover letter for a particular position that interested me which was PERFECT and thoroughly researched by Tracy. Perhaps, most importantly, she attached a .pdf called "Filling the Pipeline" which I followed to a "T." The results were darn near miraculous. I applied for 8 jobs over a 7-day period and received responses from SEVEN of the eight employers including one that I thought was the perfect position for my career. The end result was, I turned down two positions based on red flags and landed what essentially amounts to a dream entry-level position with potential for advancement. The best part? It wasn't contract, it wasn't temp to hire, it was a full time position with a very thorough interview process. It was, the most amazing feeling after going through a job-hunt roller coaster before I found Tracy. I don't write many reviews because, quite frankly, my opinion of things don't get swayed severely enough one way or the other. But this is different. This is your career and your future. If you want THAT job. Even if you just need A job. If you are stuck in a rut in your current position. No matter what field you are in or are looking to get into, I suggest you use Tracy's services. Not for her benefit, but for your own. Best of luck with your job search!
