“I was struggling to write a self-assessment for my annual review. I reached out to Ian for help and I’m so glad I did! He realized I was not in the right mindset. He cheered my accomplishments, helping me see how much I had contributed to my company and my career over the past year. I rewrote my self-assessment after our meeting and it went from ‘meh’ to OUTSTANDING!”

“Earlier this year, I found myself at a unique crossroads. I needed to both find a part-time job and apply for grad school. I needed a resume that would allow me to use my previous work experiences to apply for jobs in a different field. Additionally, I needed to craft a resume for graduate program applications. Luckily, I had a secret weapon, a consultation with Ian! He was able to help me navigate writing separate resumes for each. His approach was equal parts editor, coach, and cheerleader! He was able to help me see some of my skill sets in a new light and how they could apply to many different positions and industries. Ian was very friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. With the help of his valuable input, I was able to find a job and get accepted into a graduate program!”

“I had been doing helpdesk work for quite some time, with the ambition of transitioning into a System Administrator role. However, I didn’t have much info on the best way to get there. Ian helped me build a plan on how to achieve those goals based on my knowledge, interests, and situation. Since our guidance sessions, I’ve been following the plan he helped me put together, and I’m well on my way to the position I’m after.”

“I was at a crossroads in my career, contemplating what my next career move would be. I was even thinking about a new career away from Technology based on recent and past events. Ian reached out to me at the right time and asked if he could help be a career coach and really wanted to understand my situation and provide some guidance. He not only did that but also re-energized my ambition and confidence and pointed me to a promising career move. He was very friendly, humble and easy to talk to, and you could really tell he cared about my situation. I would highly recommend him if you need career coaching, expert advice or a trustworthy technical contact or reference.”
