“The CareerCOACH+ program helped me refine my career goals. I had a general idea of the direction I wanted to take. Their personalized coaching opened my eyes to specific roles and industries that align with my skills and passions. The coach helped me tailor my resume, and optimize my LinkedIn profile, which made my job search much more focused and efficient. I have received a lot more profile views and interview invitations since being on this program. I highly recommend this program.”
