Client Testimonials
What clients say about working with Lesa and Exclusive Career Coaching…
“Lesa, thank you. I’ve appreciated your guidance and responsiveness throughout this process. My resume and LinkedIn profile are much stronger thanks to your expertise and our shared edits. If I need something like this again, I will think of you. Likewise, as I encounter people who could benefit from your skill set, I’ll be telling them about you.”
“I was recommended to Lesa by a professional peer of mine. Lesa’s experience and knowledge in her craft is bar none the absolute best. She took the time to learn about my skillset, my goals, and my intentions. Then she put together a customized ‘package’ that put me in a position to thrive in attaining my next career opportunity. Nearly immediately I had 3 interviews lined for opportunities that really fit my goals and needs. I have rarely recommended professional peers/contacts, Lesa is a star.”
“Lesa had an amazing talent for putting you at ease regardless of where you are on your professional journey. She is that most welcome of guides that can quickly assess where you are and where you want to be. Lesa is very knowledgeable in her field and brings out the best version of who you can be. She was super organized and held all of our sessions over zoom. Easy to converse with and no unnecessary time commitments. A great resource to help you on your professional journey. ”
“I had Lesa write my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn. I had tried applying for jobs for quite a while with a resume I created and was not getting any response. I attended a webinar of Lesa’s in the summer of 2021 and realized my resume needed a complete overhaul. As it wasn’t my strong suit, and I was feeling very down on myself with the thought of my experience not being enough, I decided to hire Lesa. It was actually my birthday present from my parents, the best gift ever!
My sessions with Lesa were helpful and made me feel hopeful about my future. She really cares and was so invested that I didn’t feel like just a client but like she was a mentor. She was able to help me quantify all of my accomplishments when I didn’t even think it was possible. She also helped me focus my resume and add more in the right places while cutting in others. I didn’t have a robust LinkedIn that sold me, so she helped build my profile. My goal was to transition from a non-profit, as there was no room for growth, into a tech company to try something new.
I started getting callbacks on probably 80% of the applications I submitted and interviewed with many companies. I even had a headhunter approach me on LinkedIn, which has never happened and was so cool to me.
Ultimately, I accepted an offer from a company that was the perfect match for me in a role that would provide growth opportunities while utilizing my skills. Overall, from the time I started applying with my new resume to the time I accepted a new job was about four months. Technically, it took five months, but during the holiday season, I took a break from the job search.
Ultimately, it was the best investment I could’ve ever made in myself. In less than a year at my new company, I have been promoted into a new role and have impacted the business with the processes I was hired to develop, and we have since implemented them.
The bottom line is, I recommend her hands down. Everything she did, made all the difference in the world; at least, it did for me! Thank you, Lesa, for changing my professional life. I am so excited about the work I do now and everything the future holds for me now.”
