I am so glad a friend referred me to Alexa. I knew I had solid work experience under my belt, but…read moreafter months of looking for a new gig, I knew it was time to shake up my approach. Alexa was meticulous in digging through my current resume and helping me find ways to make it stronger. She also provided great pointers and an outline for a stronger cover letter. Plus, a big part of her approach is setting up informational interviews with people in companies, industries and roles you're interested in and she graciously provided introductions to people in her own network. With my new resume I was able to land an interview at my next dream job, and once I finally landed an offer, I scheduled additional time with her to gather pointers on how to negotiate. I've been at my new job for almost two months now and could not be happier that I had Alexa's help to get me here. She's smart, fast and thorough, but also just fun to work with; I always felt like I was just brainstorming and strategizing with a friend.

When a job opportunity came along that fit those preferences, I knew it was the right move to take it. Also, I will never have to redo my resume again -- it is in an awesome template that will be easy to refresh. It is always hard to say where a job will come from, and when, or how you got there, but Alexa provided the tools I needed to dive into the job search and find a good fit.

I can't wait to start my new gig. I highly recommend their services!

She is an amazing communicator and is able to contextualize your needs to the field that you are in. I highly recommend getting coaching from Teresa whether it's through her course or one-one. I also recommend preparing if you want interview help. She is able to do a mock interview and give great feedback so having something prepared would work great for that type of coaching.

Teresa has a strong background in coaching and our conversations were productive and I learned a lot from our coaching sessions. The resources provided throughout the course are great! It is scary enough to attempt a career change, but through Teresa and PathUp, that journey seemed less scary and I felt more empowered. I would recommend this program to anyone!

Hope is absolutely AMAZING! I've had a lot of therapy throughout my healing journey and I had a lot…read moreof knowledge and understanding about myself and my needs. BUT, I was stuck and did not know how to move forward and put all that information to work. From my first session with Hope, I could tell that she was different. She actively listened and asked in-depth questions to make sure she had a clear understanding. I actually felt heard in a way that I hadn't in a very long time. In just a month, Hope has changed my life! She guided me through an a multi-step process that opened doors I didn't even know existed. I learned so much and the whole experience was so transformational. AND, she was genuinely happy for me as I grew with each step of the process. I would not hesitate to recommend her and/or reach out to her again! In fact, if everyone should have a Hope in their life!!!!

Anita has a way of cutting through the emotional static that confuses issues and gets to the core of what really matters.

I highly recommend Anita's servicing to any individual or couple seeking a knowledgeable coach to navigate anything standing in the way of productive communication and a successful relationship or individual journey.

That started my on my journey to find what would work, as I knew that what I was creating in my life was a result of my childhood programing. The short list includes; Lifespring, beginning and advanced, Transformational Workshops, Tai Chi, meditation, hypnosis, medications, enough self help books to line the entire United States, women's groups, Al-Anon, Co-dependants Anonymous, Adult children of Alcoholics, Chronic PTSD therapy, Brain wave therapy and more. So when I found Anita's ad through an internet search, I was doubtful, but willing to try. My goal was to move forward in my life with dreams that had lived in my heart for decades but just could not work on them because the beliefs about myself were so deep, they felt as if they were in my DNA. I was elated and stunned when after the first session I was able to start my work to reach my goals. Previously, I literally felt sick to my stomach when I thought about doing the work. After three sessions, I have a regular schedule working on my goals and enjoy the work! I have been in some type of therapy for 4 decades and nothing really shifted the beliefs that were under my self confident exterior. Even though I had earned multiple degrees and was successful in many areas, the belief that I was a "joke" and it would be dangerous to do anything that would bring attention to me, drove my choices, I never, ever felt good enough. Now I do and I cannot thank Anita enough. I don't understand how it works, but it works!

After trying on my own for a while with little success, I reached out to Samantha and within a few months I received an ideal offer that I was thrilled to accept.

If you are looking to get back into the job hunt or are a first-time job seeker, do yourself a favor and reach out to First Job Austin.

During the interview process she encouraged me to text her and call her with any questions or updates and that support was huge.

I engaged her when I entered my 40s and was trying to balance my career aspirations along with juggling family life. Life felt complicated and she helped get me on a track to defining my purpose and path that was best for me. She provides you with assessments which gave me insight into who I am and how to leverage my strengths. I loved how she brought her own life experiences and stories and as a result, humanized the whole experience for me.

I value Shelley highly since she had a successful career in a global corporation which was not fulfilling to her, so she decided to venture in a new direction to start her own business. Shelley's company (True North) reminds me of the Northern Star, which was used by escaping slaves as a guide for their freedom. Shelley has helped me discover who I am in my core, set a course for my journey, and accompany me to navigate the challenging obstacles (often the obstacle is ME), and to not settle.

She's very responsive, easy to talk to, and has a genuine interest in seeing her clients get better. She's keenly observant and adept at connecting the dots. Her judgment is sound. The process she applied was CBT, which is an interactive and challenging treatment. But she never pushed too hard, and made sure I was okay with the pace. She guided me to my own rational conclusions, and knew just when to tell me something I needed to hear. I found myself looking forward to the collaboration. We identified practical exercises to keep me from backsliding into the proverbial abyss. They're working for me. I feel fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Kaitlan, and I'll definitely return if I want to work on other areas. If you're considering seeing her, I believe you will see good results if you put in your share of the effort.

I read the books on my own and I worked through them on my own as I had a hard time connecting with with Dr. Gibbins in a remote setting. When I asked for an in-person meeting, she defined and said she was not taking them, which is understandable but I was surprised our sessions ended with no referrals or help to find someone in her place. When I asked her for a referral she offered no suggestions and no help at all. She provided no help or assistance. This action made it very clear that Dr. Gibbins is really not there to help me. Nor does she really care about me as her patient because a caring human therapist would have followed through with a referral if they really cared. Especially when the therapist is aware of what you are working through. I would not recommend Dr. Gibbins if you have severe trauma as I think she needs more experience based on my experience with her. Maybe she is just lazy and didn't feel like helping me her patient....either way not a good experience.
