Janet McAfee, Career Counselor

Things are terrific, thanks in large part to your wisdom and guidance. Thanks a million for helping me sort out an existential crisis that was decades long. You are the best! I suspect that you've reduced the stress and angst in my life enough to add a couple more years to it. You have certainly improved the quality of my life. – K.L., a former nurse practitioner turned college instructor and art student

Thank you for being there for me at a time when I needed some expert input and support. You helped me get through some difficult times and I appreciate it very much. – M.M., an older job seeker who persevered and landed a job after 2 years unemployed

Janet, you have truly found a version of "your place" – I don't have big enough words to explain how much your comments and information have meant to me. Through you, I am viewing this process as something fun and positive rather than something to be feared. You are wonderful at helping people to look for that "spark" in themselves and learn how to ignite it. What you have started with me has already given me a way to focus positively on myself when a lot of things around me were falling apart. – G.W., a 17-year stay-at-home mom reinventing herself before returning to the workforce

I'm doing well as Vice President of Sales. It was the best money I ever spent for your help. – R.G., former sales engineer who got the big promotion

With your help, I was able to see that my introverted personality style is better suited for a calmer environment than a classroom could provide. You’ve taught me how to analyze job postings and design, write, and edit individualized resumes to fit them, plus coached me for interviews and job fairs. With your compassion, warmth, and insight, I have gained the tools and the confidence to face my career challenges! – J.L., a former teacher and secret artist forging a new career path

Here is why we are eternally grateful for your outstanding professional service: My wife and I were both caught in the rut of not having a clear understanding of our particular skills and job preferences, and working jobs where our futures were not very attractive to us. We knew we were restless and unhappy but couldn't turn our feelings into action. Your combination of testing, careful interviewing, and your own experience helped us to see what we were actually good at professionally and what we liked to do. Armed with this knowledge, we were able to re-evaluate our current jobs, see their limitations, conceptualize new jobs, and GET THEM!! – D.E. & T. C., husband and wife career changers
