Coming from a no-name international school (not known to the U.S. application dropdown menu), I was hoping that I "had it in me", but at the same time know that I needed to craft the perfect application, most importantly the essays, to stand out. My first call was into Sandy Kreisberg. My second into Scott. I went with Scott, and never regretted it. The results spoke for themselves: 4 applications (all top schools), 3 admissions, including my dream choice: Stanford GSB. Scott knows inside out how to tailor your best and hightest-chance-of-success application package. He continually challenged me to craft the unique and authentic essays that opened the doors to the top MBA programs for me. And as if that all was not already a utopia of awesomeness, Scott helped me secur e a full-ride scholarship from my national government. I mean, give me a break, Scott. When I arrived on campus, GSB's (back then) Dean of Admissions Derrick Bolton took me by the side and told me it was my "What Matters Most To You and Why" essay that made the difference. I honestly look at that essay and I think it's the best piece I have ever written in my life. Would have not been the case without Scott. Beyond essays, Scott is a fountain of wisdom for school selection, general application strategies, resume editing, picking recommenders, and being there for you during the emotional rollercoaster than MBA applications can be. Take my word. I could not think of a better person than Scott to partner up for this journey that can be such a life-changer. Certainly was for me. THANK YOU, SCOTT.

Dan was not only efficient and professional, but he truly cared about the situation I found myself in.

Dan also considered my own ideas into the resume as he formulated the final product. Would certainly recommend Daniel B when it comes to creating or revising a current resume.

However, as many others have said, you just can't be too careful or get too comfortable in today's economic climate. I would much rather be prepared for the worst, and hope for the best. When Yelp offered a free 15 minute session with Timothy, I wanted to give it a try. I've helped others with their resumes in past years, but looking at my own is always so much harder. It really needed a brush-up. Tim's advice was wonderful, clear, and so easy to follow. He provided me with templates that would be more attractive to any potential readers. Over the next few weeks, I plan on using one of the templates to pop my own information in, and have it at the ready "just in case."

I'm employed not but not naive about the impact of this pandemic on every industry including nonprofit - so I'm ready if a layoff happens.

Ever since I started working with Alexa from Loken Careers, I have not stopped singing her praises…read more When I reached out to Loken Careers, I felt completely lost and directionless when it came to my career - up to this point I've had a very non-traditional career journey from public health to service industry to coaching and facilitation. Having said that, I had no idea which strengths and skills to highlight while job searching or how to even approach the job search to begin with. In just a couple of sessions with Alexa, I got not only absolute clarity on my strengths and skills and how I can apply them in my job search but also a clear blueprint for how to search jobs in a way that doesn't feel soul-sucking. Alexa gave me so many amazing resources (her podcast is invaluable!) as well as guidance regarding specific job fields I have not previously considered. She has also helped me expand my network by helping set up informational interviews with professionals in different fields (this has been SO useful). I also have to say that Alexa is so incredibly kind and empathetic, and I am so grateful for how empowered she helped me feel at a time when I was at a real low. She truly listens and hears you, which is crucial. Finally, her rates are beyond reasonable. I have already recommended Loken careers to so many friends and family, and will no doubt work with her in the future when I need interview + negotiation prep and resume editing. Thank you so much Alexa !!!
