Rita is fantastic at what she does. Before working with Rita, I was very unsure of my future and what I wanted to do. I was displaced by the pandemic and years of unfulfilling work. Honestly, I felt a bit hopeless. A couple of sessions with Rita got me back on track. She offers clear guidance and has your best interest at heart. She won't do the work for you but provides the support and tools needed to feel empowered. She doesn't upsell or do anything like that(she's a career coach, not a life coach... she wants to get you a job). The best thing she did was help me clarify my interest and get me pointed in the right direction. She also makes job searching sound easy instead of overwhelming like it usually is. I ultimately landed a job that paid over 25% more than what I was initially looking for and much more aligned with my interests and values. Thank you Rita! - You literally changed my life. I recommend Rita to all of my friends, and her career coaching is worth every cent. read more

Rita is one of the best career coach I've ever met. I had experience working with other consular in Philadelphia area and have something to compare with. It was such a pleasure working with Rita: she listens, answers all questions honestly and gives very valuable advise. After one month I received a job offer to my dream company and with much better position I applied before. A little note for people who is looking for a career consular: send email to career coaches and shortly describe your situation and wait for free phone consultation. Rita was the only one who gave me a valuable advise for 5 min for free. Others were talking about their prices and how good they are. read more

I went to Rita about a year ago and I am still upset that I wasted so much time and money with her. I was hoping to get guidance on a career change between sectors. I wanted advice on how to navigate this change. Rita spent multiple appointments giving me general advice (which most professional people know). She told me to go on LinkedIn, use Indeed, and google questions I have. What job seeker isn't already doing this? I would spend hours doing my "homework", being careful to send to her with time for her review it. When I would arrive at her office, it was clear she was looking at the homework for the first time. She often forgot to email me documents that I needed. I had to email her multiple times to her remind her. Constantly rescheduled appointments. I'm still upset that I spent $700 and hours of my time on an edited resume (and no further guidance). read more

For the past year, I have been serving with AmeriCorps as a City Year member in Philadelphia. Our job is to help reduce the drop out crisis in our nations public schools and to help bridge the gap between what students needs are and what teachers and schools are actually capable of doing based on the resources that they are given (or lack thereof). I got out of City Year with the dream of creating my own start up with my sister Sophie in professional organizing and consulting, however was having major difficulty putting my dream into action. Rita graciously offered her services to me free of charge after I expressed that I couldn't afford to pay her what her typical rates would be (since I was living off a small stipend). She not only was excited and seemed passionate about my idea which sparked my confidence, but also helped me to form a detailed to do list and action plan to get the business up and running. We also worked on building my resume and designing different resumes for different types of career paths. Overall, Rita was super friendly, down to earth but blunt (I highly appreciated that) and has become a great contact overall for me to have. She really deserves all the credit possible and I really appreciate what she has done in my life. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs help getting organized with careers or just in general with figuring out what you love and want to do to be happy in your life! read more

I moved to Philadelphia from San Francisco because of my fiance's job, and was struggling to figure out what I was going to do here. Rita helped me so much. Not only does she help with the practical stuff, like resumes and job searching, she inspired me to pursue something that i'm passionate about but had been afraid to go for. She encouraged me to go for it and has been supporting me every step of the way. I can't recommend her highty enough! read more

Rita is amazing! I was in a funk from a terrible previous job experience and Rita really helped to boost my confidence. With Rita's help and support, I ultimately landed a great job where I am very happy. (And getting paid more!!!) Rita was really in my corner and a great support throughout. Couldn't recommend her more. read more

Rita did a great job giving me a little clarity on my career path!! She asked me a lot of questions and gave her assessment on my situation. I would highly recommend her as she is friendly, non-judgy, and my favorite, she gets down to business. She won't waste half of the session making small talk and then getting down to business..she gets right into it! She was also on time for the appointment which I'm a stickler for timeliness! read more

Rita is my hero. I was in job hell and felt like there was no way out. She edited my resume, helped me figure out my strengths and how to market them effectively, prepped me for interviews, and sent me on my way! She is fun and friendly and has an answer for everything. Rita is supportive and gives excellent advice, but she still holds you accountable to keep you motivated during a very frustrating process of job hunting. I am now embarking on a completely new and exciting career path that I would have never thought of pursuing without her guidance. She knows her shit and won't waste your time, or money. Worth every penny! read more

I had a great experience working with Rita - she was very supportive and insightful. I could tell she really cared about her clients, and I never felt pressured to sign up for more services than I needed. She helped me find my new job and write my resume. I spoke with a few other career coaches before I made my decision and I couldn't be happier that I went with her. read more

After taking a sabbatical, I wanted to get a fresh view on my career goals and profile before taking on a new pursuit. I read reviews of career coaches and wanted one who was local and highly recommended. I found this with Rita and was highly satisfied. When you first meet Rita, it becomes abundantly clear that she is well-versed and highly-knowledgable in her area of expertise. What's more, she quickly grasps issues and is very approachable and friendly. She comes prepared to her appointments to minimize your time, and graciously even provided more than our allotted time on several occasions, and even had timely follow-up support via email when needed - all without extra cost. She does not oversell, or push to get more sessions than exactly what is needed. In Rita you will find professional, honest, friendly guidance and a true desire for you to succeed. I speak from experience -- she helped me land a fulfilling new role that is both competitive and meaningful to me. read more

I have email Ruth twice asking for her to get back to me, but I only received an automated message saying that she has limited access. All I want to know is if she is available to help me or if she knows someone that can. read more
