KickStart Career -

Mike Pena

I was recently laid off and wanted to use the opportunity to take inventory of my career to date. I came upon Tricia via Yelp. She is a great Career Coach and I wish I would have utilized her services years ago. Tricia has a great curriculum that helped get my career back on track. She helped me take stock of success, failure, and opportunities for growth. She also helped me to focus on career paths and industries where I would be most successful and steered me away from industries where I may struggle. In the end, I was able to land a position in an industry where I would have the most success and for that I’m grateful. I highly recommend Tricia for anyone wanting to improve their career prospects.

Upon graduating college, uncertain about my career path, I found invaluable guidance in working with Tricia. Her expertise not only transformed me into a much-improved interviewer, addressing my initial struggles, but she also played a pivotal role in helping me navigate job offers.

Tricia's comprehensive approach, from exploring my interests to analyzing potential industries, significantly shaped my career trajectory. I appreciate her insightful coaching, as this process would have caused me significantly more stress without her help. Highly recommend Tricia to anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of career decisions and professional growth.

It was wonderful to work with Tricia. She was knowledgeable and supportive throughout every step of my job search, from strengthening my resume and cover letters to updating my LinkedIn to helping me better prepare for interviews. Tricia not only had great ideas about resources to consult during my search but she also connected me with several individuals who worked in different industries so that I could learn more about what a career in those fields would look like.

Tricia helped me maintain confidence and optimism throughout the process of securing a full-time position. She has extensive experience in recruitment and as a career coach and I learned so much from her each time we met. Thanks in large part to our work together, I secured a position I'm incredibly excited about. I'm very grateful to Tricia for her invaluable guidance and highly recommend her to others.

Tricia is an amazing career coach. She was invaluable to me in finding my first professional position. I found her interview tips, resume touch-ups and mock-interviews to be the most beneficial. I even received compliments on my resume by interviewers. Overall, Tricia helped me find confidence when applying to jobs, something that can be so hard for many to find.

I immensely enjoyed working with Tricia because she is highly skilled and intelligent about career coaching and job placement. As a young person who is light in experience, I struggled for quite some time to find a job that was the right fit. It was not until I hired Tricia that I finally learned what I needed to do to navigate my job search.

Once I started working with Tricia, I started getting more traction with my job search. More recruiters contacted me on LinkedIn about opportunities; my resume stood out more when I applied for jobs. I was also making it to more final stages in the interview process and knew how to better prepare for my interviews. Tricia also taught me valuable networking methods, which I will continue to utilize throughout my career.

The other reason why Tricia was worthwhile to hire was that she always maintained a high degree of professionalism, even during challenging moments. Her impeccable commitment level to her coaching methods is why any company or person would be lucky to have her. Thus, it is my pleasure to recommend her, be her reference, and a testament to her talent and dedication. If you hire Tricia, you will be grateful you did.

Tricia is the most organized, insightful, and proactive coach. She was not even a specialist in my industry and she was able to share resources and provide the structure my job search needed. Working with her opened possibilities that I didn't know existed for my career. I landed a job at a healthcare tech company with a fantastic workplace culture, kind supportive staff, and so much opportunity for growth. Searching for a job during a pandemic was no easy feat, but Tricia made it so much more manageable and helped restore my confidence in what I have to offer. I can't recommend her enough!!
