When I first met Judi, I was out of luck when looking for a new job and had very little confidence due to constant rejection. I was stuck working for my father's business with no one believing that I could transition from there to someplace more advanced. Once she and I worked together, we polished my resume and focused on presentation, situational and task-based questioning, and brevity in answers in order to make me a better candidate. She even helped and motivated me to turn my life around through mentorship and guidance that would not only help me in interview settings but with people whom I truly care about. Through our focus and dedication, I landed my first big job as an Email Marketing Specialist and am thankful for her help. Judi is an exceptional career advisor who helps you excel in your life and professional environment. With her, you mature into a better employment prospect and person to others, and if I were to seek employment with someone else in the future I would always choose her. read more

Well, despite that I was skeptical at 1st going to a career counselor since I was very unhappy and frustrated at my current career and the young people in the work culture. I decided to give her a try on identifying about where my career was going. I did learn alot about my personality and to choose intelligently in my next career path. She gives a corresponding workbook called "What color is your Parachute?" by Richard N. Bolles. Beware she does give assignments for each session but it is for your own good of career self awareness. She also assist if you lose your job while attending your session with Job support contacts. A religious Jewish woman who practices Catholicism too She is the equivalent of a female version of St Paul. All in all I have learned a lot about myself and that there is no standard in what one's occupation is. Example a professional nurse from one hospital will not have the same consistent responsibilities or duties in the next role as a nurse if hired in another Hospital. Only critic is that it is expensive a session but she will work a financial deal with you. read more

I have enjoyed using Judi Lansky's services, which I found to convenient, reasonably priced, and helpful. I found Ms. Lansky to be flexible and to be able to give me feedback on a variety of issues important to me such as interview strategy. I'd have to say that I found her flexibility most helpful, personally. I also valued her willingness to answer direct questions I've had about the job search process, and I also valued her warmth which I found encouraging. read more

I first met Judi in February of 2016. I was on the job hunt once again and wanted to add some additional refinement to my resume and cover letter. I found her after doing some searching online, and I made an appointment with her over the phone. At that point, my resume and cover letter were pretty polished, since I had met with career counselors in the past, but Judi still offered some good tips to fine tune them even more. It wasn't until 6 months later that we talked again. Call it what you want; good timing, good instinct, but Judi happened to email me on the day that I had an interview with a new company. I was very interested in this company and was expecting an offer. Judi was kind enough to offer me advice on how to effectively negotiate my offer. With her help, I was able to negotiate the terms that I wanted in a diplomatic and non-confrontational way. Judi is a seasoned and experienced career counselor and I would recommend her services. read more

I highly recommend Lansky Career Consultants for any professional looking to take a next step in their careers. When I first contacted Judi, I was primarily focused on making a career change. Judi only not provided me her expert advice, but also the necessary materials and tools to use, in order for me to consider all of my options. Assisted by Judi's wonderful guidance and encouragement, I decided upon pursuing a career "shift", staying in the same industry. Judi helped to position my resume and LinkedIn profile to attract interest from employers and recruiters. After a short time, I found a great opportunity, and Judi encouraged me to go for it! Throughout the rigorous and time-consuming interview process, Judi was there for me, every step of the way! Practice interviews, how to handle unexpected interview questions, how to negotiate the best compensation package, etc.-Judi really came through for me! After about a 10-week process, I was offered the role! I am so happy with my new opportunity, and I owe so much gratitude to Judi, and her staff! read more

A complete disappointment and waste of time and money. Claims to offer resume writing on website, however, that was false!! Ms. Lansky can recommend someone else ( outside of her business) who can assist in that process. I could have researched that on my own, but Lansky's website clearly stated resume writing as one of the services provided. Expected career consultant to show more interest. Website was somewhat misleading compared to service I received. Would not recommend. read more

A complete waste of time and money. The "coach" spent the majority of the time talking about herself and her other clients. She also provided comments on my clothing- though a professional dress and heels, the coach gave an odd array of commentary, also pointing out that my jacket was not what she "excepted" me to be wearing. It is the middle of winter in Chicago- would you not expect someone to be wearing a long coat with a hood? She commented on my current employment, saying jobs in Information Technology are easy to get and anyone can land a job in technology with virtually no skills. I took offense to this because I studied Information Engineering at a top tier university and I like to think that contirbuted to my employment- whether I am looking for a change or not. Regardless, don't waste your time or money! I expected a career consultant to be much less shallow and much less self centered. read more

Terrible waste of time and money! I contacted Ms. Lansky because I wanted to apply for a very specific job and I wanted to improve my resume. I spoke to her on the phone and explained my situation. She asked me to email her my resume which I did. I also included the link for the job ad. I then had a face to face meeting with her a couple of weeks later. She was totally unprepared. She had not reviewed my resume beforehand nor looked at the job posting. I paid $150 for an hour of consultation and she spent most of the time making small talk and talking about herself. She is very arrogant and condescending. She did not take me seriously. She only gave me very minor suggestions on how to improve my resume. At the end of our meeting, she said that writing the resume requires 3 to 4 iterations. I think her services are a scam. She wants to drag out the process to get more money out of you. Her website is also very misleading. Save yourself time and money and just buy a book on career advice. read more

I contacted Judi Lansky in order to figure out alternative career options based on the skill set that I already have. Judi assigned me some career activities that helped me get introspective about what types of work would be good options for me. Based on this information, Judi helped identify a possibility that I've never thought about before. It's not an immediate change, but one that I'm now working toward. Judi is very creative, patient, and easy to talk to -- I enjoyed my sessions with her and I put in the work outside of those sessions that she assigned. My meetings with her helped me formulate a goal that I'm now working toward -- one that I don't think I would have thought of without her help. read more

Save your time and money! I made a list of specific questions and items I needed some help with going into the meeting which I sent Ms.Lansky beforehand. I did this in part because I wanted to have something to focus on and keep it from going off topic and wasting time. But my effort was in vain because the majority of the meeting consisted of Ms.Lansky sharing stories about previous clients, personal stories, and boasting of her education. She offered a couple general suggestions on my resume. I asked about ways to get the best use of LinkedIn and I was directed to some tutorials on the site. I asked about possible groups I could join to build my network and I was told I could google those. I asked about any possible contacts that she might have that would be helpful and none could be provided. I just generally did not even get the impression from her that she would seriously help me or offer something concrete. She just seemed too preoccupied with her stories. And to top it off at the end of the meeting she offered to sell me a workbook and an audio cd for the low low price of $13 a piece! There was nothing here that even comes close to justifying the $150/hr fee that is charged. On a positive note, my hats off to Ms.Lansky's business acumen. She has created a business where she can mostly tell stories and offer little to no value for a outrageously high fee. read more
