I signed up for NYCastings back in 2008. I stopped using the system when I realized there were…read morebetter platforms out there (ActorsAccess, Casting Networks, Mandy etc). Now a union member with representation, NYCastings does not serve me at all, but that's okay. I realize I am NOT the target demographic for NYCastings. The target demographic is nonunion, beginning actors, looking to do background or copy/credit/meals type projects. If you work for free or are a breathing mannequin, then you could still view this as a viable product for you, and that's okay. My problem comes with how after de-activating my account nearly 8 years ago, I recently started received cleverly FOMO-inducing marketing emails reading "Dear Talent, This is a quick notification that a Casting Director or Client of NYCastings.com has reviewed Your Profile while searching through our Talent Database. Please login to update any Pictures, Resume Credits, Video or Audio if you think it's needed. We want you to get those Auditions!" I started getting this email 2-3 times a DAY, and here I forgot I even had this account, having not logged in for 8 years! I log back in, but I can't find a way to stop the messages, and my account is listed as inactive, so I can't even de-activate to stop the messages. I try to delete my account, and am told they have to be done manually over the phone. So far this week, I have called every afternoon, to always hit voicemail in the member services extension. Today, I tried reaching the technical support extension, still voicemail. FINALLY, I decided to call the casting director line, and was able to speak to a person! I explained my issue to this man on the phone and he said I had to speak to technical support, I explain I have called a left several voicemails this week to which he says, "Well, I see all the voicemails and I don't see one from you, so I think you are lying to me. Sounds like you are lying." To which I responded "Wow, that's super rude," and he just laughed. For a company that requires you to use phone support to use their system, you would think phone support would have some decorum? He said he could not help me further and someone would call me back. Luckily, the technical support person, Mig, did call me back within minutes and was very helpful, but this process has taken far too long. Save your $12/month, save your energy. p.s. For comparison, ActorsAccess is $68/year (or $5.66/month), Casting Networks starts at $6/month and Mandy.com is FREE, Central Casting is FREE, Grant Wilfley is FREE, Playbill.com is FREE. Regardless of the tier you are working at, there are ways to be smart with your money in your career.

Cons: -Very few NY listings compared to the competitors. -Scams allowed to sit on the page for days. -The platform the website is built on is straight-up miserable to use. It's stuck in 1996. Weird colors, pop-ups, step-by-step instructions for things that are intuitive everywhere else. I can't spend more than 30 seconds on it. I likely won't renew.

My assessment report was so accurate it was scary and brought forward so many truths I had probably been previously unaware of with lots of 'aha' moments. Now I was laser-focused on more appropriate career expectations. I worked with Judd for the assessment and coaching; it was a wonderful experience. He told me about my strengths, and what I would be good at, and gave me the courage to finally start working on a career search and arduous interviewing process with the right mindset and paradigms. He helped me believe deep down inside I should go for it and that I actually have all the strengths and expertise needed to pull off my pivot. He equipped me with unique advice I could use to start a new career in a new role, and on top of everything, was very easy to talk to and was quite encouraging. I would recommend Wanderlust Careers to anyone feeling they are at a crossroads, or stuck, and want to make a change in their lives. -- Eli / NEW YORK, NY / Tech Start-ups & Commercial Real Estate

The insight I gleaned from the career assessment package with Wanderlust Careers was invaluable!…read more As compared to the other career coaches I had worked with in the past, Katherine Kirkinis took a unique approach by blending the disciplines of psychology and personality testing to develop and curate a list of careers paths that were best suited to my personality and innate strengths. The results of the assessment were detailed, thorough and chillingly accurate in highlighting my personality strengths and weaknesses. And the recommended career paths made sense to me and were in tune with some paths I was already considering, but also illuminated some paths I had not considered. 4 months after I received my assessment results, I landed a new job as a sales engineer, which interestingly was at the top of the list of recommended career paths in the assessment results. A strange coincidence indeed, but I am happier than I have ever been and making more money than I ever had in my 20 year career. All my experience led me to this new job, but the career assessment affirmed where my talents would be best utilized and what kind of role I would be most happy in and WHY. I highly recommend Wanderlust Careers, and if you decide to go with an assessment, I highly advise taking the time to really fill out the personality tests as honestly and accurately for yourself. As Katherine "warned" me in the beginning of the process, "you will be surprised with the results" as they are formulated through this unique approach, and not necessarily determined by what you THINK your dream job should be. In retrospect, it was a great investment to work with Wanderlust Careers.

I had the privilege of working with Eileen last year. I was four years out of college and feeling…read morevery uninspired about the area of work I was in, yet overwhelmed by the next steps. I didn't know where I fit into a company and what my career trajectory should look like in both the short and long term. Eileen is brilliant, and through a series of exercises, we dialed in what was important to me in my next steps. She challenged me to look at the whole picture and get clear on my values and priorities. This work gave me the confidence to hit the job market, and interviews were easy because I was clear on my values and strengths. During our time together, Eileen had me write a detailed description of what my ideal day would look like if I had my dream job--I recently went back and read that description--it is uncanny how much it describes my typical day at my new job. I credit that to Eileen. She will change your life.

After spending 15++ years living and working abroad, I relocated back to the U.S.A. and really felt…read more"out of place" for a lack of better words. The country I left so many years before had changed, and I had changed as well. Whereas I enjoyed many successes both personally and professionally for the prior decade and a half, I was no longer progressing here as I thought I should and found myself feeling a bit "lost" and perhaps, losing a bit of the confidence that had propelled me so much before. And oddly enough, I was really confronted by how difficult it was to explain exactly what I was doing overseas (it was Beijing and Shanghai) and how to position and present my accomplishments in a way that conveyed value to employers and potential clients. Fast forward a little bit - I moved back to NYC and started reaching out to old friends and colleagues. One of the people I reached out to first now had her own company and I was really wow'd by what I read on her website. I was immediately greeted with a compelling story about her company, her background, and exactly how she achieves dramatic results for her clients. It is clear and concise and most of all - it is compelling. While I was so happy for her, I felt even worse about myself. You see, the person I am talking about, used to work in a position that reported to me. Ugh... more evidence that I am in trouble. I called her and we met for coffee and I told her how thoroughly impressed I was and how truly proud I am of her. Then I asked for her help. She told me about this "career psychologist" named Eileen Sharaga. She explained a little bit about the process she went through with Eileen and how it allowed her to see herself in ways she never had before. She discovered her true values, what really matters, what were the issues that were blocking her from excelling at what she is best at, and so much more. She was able to pinpoint that going through Eileen's process was the thing that changed everything for the better for her. Introductions were made and I met Eileen and I was somewhat apprehensive at first. Not because of Eileen.. lets just say I approach most things with caution or with some skepticism. Within 15 minutes or so, I felt so incredibly comfortable, I lit up and let loose! There is something about Eileen that I cannot quite define. She is just "one of those people" who has this gift. She is truly special. I won't go into the details about her process, because I believe that it is customized to fit each persons individual needs, goals, and situations. It is something that you should discover yourself. I can say this, my friend who referred me to Eileen was exactly right. It wasn't about taking a personality test or other things of the like... anyone can take a personality test, but that's not was this is about. It is about Eileen's intuitive abilities to really get what people truly need, her ability to listen in a way that she is able to decipher what is genuine and matters, and combining those things with her extensive expertise, first-hand experiences, and her depth of knowledge, to produce something that is transformative. I wish I could describe it better.. some of the exercises or questions at times seemed a little silly, and yet later on I was able to see the importance of them. I wish I would have met Eileen decades ago because I would have been freed of so many things that were holding me back in several areas. I now understand so much. It really was wonderful to get to meet me for the very first time. Trust me, meet Eileen and make your own decision. She is petite and kind and you will immediately experience how interested she is in you and how much she cares. There is nothing threatening about her - just the opposite. Oh, by the way, I literally started to laugh out load after spending a few moments with Eileen. I was thinking about how truly silly some of the claims that were made in those two "negative" reviews. They acted like they lost the ability to make their own decisions or, I don't know, "forced" to continue their sessions? So so silly! You'll see for yourself. You have control of your life - after going through Eileen's process, you will know why you are, how you are, and just how much you are! Sorry for any grammatical errors etc.. I am typing this on my phone in the subway. PM me if you want to know anything more about my experience with Eileen.
