"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."
"I was hoping for guidance on how to make the correct decision about my next career move. I was unhappy in my current position feeling unchallenged and unmotivated; I knew a change needed to be initiated. Prior to the discussion, I was not sure what direction I wanted to take. Through conversation, we were able to clarify my career goals and aspirations. One thing I learned through this process was: if you want a certain industry, why remain complacent? Go for it now. So, that is just what I did. With the motivation from our conversation, I applied to two opportunities that fell in the realm of what space I wanted to be in. As the following two weeks went by, I had multiple interviews for both positions. Two weeks later, I had offers from both positions. I was ecstatic. Per the guidance I received, I was able to leverage those offers against each other to maximize my salary, position and benefits. I am grateful I took the chance to do this because it allowed me to express my desires for career growth that I hadn't even fully shared with myself. Now I can say I am very excited to be moving into a new role which puts me on my path to success."
"Just following up after our call. Thanks again! I really got a great boost. I went from feeling like a zero percent, a negative zero actually, to feeling like a 90% after this call with you, my career coach. Your support and guidance is really helping propel me through this difficult career transition. Change is scary, but it's starting to not be so scary the more that I work with you and the platform. Thank you so much!"

I've been working for an EdTech company that's checking off all my boxes, and you played such a big role in this happening. I really appreciate you not letting me settle, teaching skills to network efficiently, and the encouragement and confidence gave me to pursue a job outside my norm. Thank you!"
"confidence to ride the networking wave after having discovered the best career direction for me."
"You're always prepared."
"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."
"WOKEN has been super helpful during a time of uncertainty. I knew I wanted to switch industries/career path but I was struggling to find a clear path. After filling out the questions and talking with my career coach pretty frequently, I finally felt confident on my direction and where I wanted to take my next step in my career. To have a platform that has outlined the clear steps in the what, where, why and how I have been able to find the company and role of my dreams! my career coach has been the best support system throughout this journey, literally working with me every step of the way. She has been the best sounding board, editor and guidance coach! Thank you for pushing me when I was doubting myself and for always keeping it real. "
