"Before I started the WOKEN process I felt stuck in my current job without a good idea of how to move forward or even where I wanted to go. I had spoken to career coaches and my school's career services department and always came aways came away discouraged. I did not know how to orient myself towards a career and a future that I actually found desirable. I was experiencing the dilemma of present discomfort, a sense of being 'stuck' and lacking direction. Overall, not a great place to be! The WOKEN process really is different. From day one, taking action to determine my real skills and genuine interests lit a spark and gave me hope that I could not only identify work I could find deep enjoyment and engagement with--I could actually make a career out of work like that. I am still working the system, but have managed to narrow my options down (in a good way!) to a manageable number of very attractive and attainable outcomes. The sense of peace and relief is really incredible The main benefits of the platform are two fold: the WOKEN process provides a concrete framework for zeroing in on attractive and attainable career options that really are tailored to YOUR interests and passions and an amazing team (especially my career coach!) who will keep you grounded, motivated and provide direction as needed throughout the process. This is very different from most career coaching services! Who should pursue this. Anyone who is not currently in their dream job. Even if you are happy where you are working I am confident this team can help you gain insights about directions to head in--even within your current role! I cannot recommend WOKEN highly enough."

"The questionnaire is really helpful to get me started thinking about what kind of interests I have and where my skills are. It was helpful to research industries and to give me a program to get started and figure out how to transition to different jobs and verify what I actually want to do for certain jobs. The surveys in the beginning were really helpful. I like the call prep - the one that give a quick overview. I also like the cover letter and resume review."

"I got clarity on my career path in under 2 months of working with Woken. I was able to hone in on what aspect of my current role I enjoy the most, how I envision my career, and as a result of this short but intense exploration process, I asked for a change from my current employer and transitioned to a different department. Pretty exciting!"

"My coach is top-notch. She encourages self-reflection to clear mental hurdles that get in the way of career advancement, while also making sure that you leave every session with a specific and impactful to-do list to advance your search."

My coach at WOKEN provided wonderful advice/training. I was able to think of things from an outside perspective which really helped. The benefit of WOKEN for me was being able to better understand what types of roles I’m interested in and why. I think anyone and everyone could use this type of platform.

"Guiding through the networking process. Networking is typically an uncomfortable experience for me, but the platform gave me the guidance and structure to make it more manageable."

"Probably the most helpful feature is just the fact that the relationship with my career coach. My career coach texts me, talks to me, and reminds me to do stuff. Like that there is the most important problems in my life, and I'm extensively trying really hard to solve, and it becomes so easy. Having her touch base and offering encouragement, resources, and insights, just kind of helps me keep my highest self interest in mind, so that's huge. I will definitely work with my career coach for sure. It does provide a really valuable snapshot of a lot of things like change jobs or how to get my dream job. I can even use this system again on my own."

"Getting started is the hardest part, but I felt like having someone to check in with every week or two weeks was what motivated me to actually do these things. I'm super comfortable with my career coach."
