It feels like a privilege that I finally have the opportunity to praise and speak to the success of…read moremy experience with Plum Coaching--I called Lora expecting a fairly transactional conversation about costs and expectations, but I decided to move forward because she genuinely listened to the specifics of my situation. In summary: I was seeking new opportunities in my field of UX design, had built an impressive portfolio but was consistently failing to communicate my work in a way that resonated with hiring managers. I had gone through 12 unsuccessful interviews before I decided it was time to seek some professional and objective advice. What I appreciated most about the mock interview with Lora was that she never tried to steer me away from being myself...she gave me practical tools to make sure that I was able to speak on my own behalf and recognize the intention behind every interview question. Long story short, I found myself with an offer letter about three weeks after our session in a role that is perfect for my professional development. If you're in a tough or confusing spot, don't make decisions based on the cost of services--just find someone who you trust that understands your goals and needs and it will pay off a thousand times in the future. Plum served that purpose for me and I can't reccomend their services highly enough.

I attended Plum Consulting's "You Can Use LinkedIn and Love It" workshop, and loved it. Lora is…read morehigh energy and carried the room, keeping everyone interested and engaged. It is a workshop, so you really are encouraged to bring a laptop and check things out for yourself as she walks you through how you want your profile to appear, how to contact people you are already connected to, and how to make new connections particularly to the people who make hiring decisions. I think you'll get more out of the workshop if you are able to do some homework beforehand, like get a Linked In account, and perhaps read Lora's blog posts. I liked that she asked folks to say what they were hoping to get out of the workshop, and then circled back at the end to make sure these things were covered. People came with many issues: out of the workforce for a decade, new to the Seattle area, trying to transition to a new industry, etc. I felt Lora was deft at handling these particular concerns with strategies that could be used through Linked In. I also have to say that I'm very familiar with software. I'm very familiar with web sites. But, I was not familiar with how recruiters and hiring managers used Linked In, and it was helpful to see things from their perspective. So, if you are holding off on doing this because you think it's just software and just a website, I think you'll still find value. This workshop was the first thing I did with Plum Consulting and Lora, but it left me with a favorable impression of the tenacity to expect from their other services.

Finding a new job can be daunting, but working with Tyler at Sasquatch Talent made it much easier…read more He was very communicative throughout each step of the interview process and would check in to get my thoughts after my conversations with the company to make sure all my questions were answered and I felt like I had enough information to make the right decision for me. It's rare to find a recruiter who you know is looking out for your best interest as well as the best interest of their company or client, but he does a great job making sure it's the right fit for both parties. I'd highly recommend Sasquatch Talent to anyone looking to make a career move in the Seattle Area. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and great to work throughout the entire interview process.

My experience with MAM was both good and bad. As a talent I was not always treated in a…read moreprofessional manner but rather talked down to at times by both the owner and her husband. I have heard the same complaint from many other actors/models that MAM represented. You ask a simple question and then you get a series of harsh toned emails and social media posts in relation to your question rather than a simple yes or no answer. Also with MAM you may be asked to "model" freebee events, which basically means wait on tables at an awards event. Other than that, they are a decent agency for the Washington region. They promote their talent with a good online presence. They work hard to get you booked, though there really is not much work in the area other than local commercials or the occasional LOW LOW budget film. Overall, ok.

We have an established practice, and we've been coaching with them for almost 3 years to help take us to the next level (and the next level after that!).

Any time we are stuck, or encounter something we've never encountered before, we can get on a call with Dr. Lloyd and it always seems like he's able to come up with the perfect solution that leaves us saying "why didn't we think of that???"

She included information in the price that I did not ask for, and did the work with grammatical errors and unprofessionally. After receiving the result, I refused her services.
