What people are saying

Looking back, I feel both pride and gratitude. I don’t think I would have ended up at the job I now have without going through the process. It gave me the confidence to get prepared for interviews and to prepare questions to ask—I asked as many questions as the interviewer did, and that really impressed them. They realized I understood what the company needed, and that I was prepared to give that. On paper, I may not have been the strongest candidate for the job, but they saw something in me they really wanted. And my passion is now paying off, both for the company and me.

Nonprofit Director

As I went through the “Personal, Professional, Financial” section of the book, I realized I wanted flexible hours, so I could pick up my kids from school, and attend the sporting events of my two elementary-grade children. Working at least part of the time at home would also cut down on long commutes, which I discovered I really hated. Working as part of a team was a plus. I also wanted to feel like I was making a difference in the world—that I was pursuing a career rather than just taking another job.

IT-Specialist

When I started on this program, I was ready for something entirely new. As I went through the “What do you really want?” sections I realized I was very unhappy at my present job. I wanted a “job with joy,” including more time off to spend with my fiancée and friends, as well as evening time to exercise for health and well-being. I identified the specific dollar figure I needed to cover expenses. And, deep down, I wanted to feel I was really making a contribution to improve the world.
