  • Asking Impactful Questions.

    "I was approached by a company to interview for a great job that would have been a promotion and huge pay increase, but the company had really bad reviews on Glassdoor. Katie helped me draft smart but respectful questions to address my concerns about the company culture. I'm happy to say, I think I dodged a bullet with this one." - Nicole M.

  • Interview Preparation.

    "I get so nervous in interviews, and I have trouble trusting what I'm about to say (and hoping it comes out in English). Katie helped me prepare answers to some common interview questions and gave me tools to structure my answers. I will be ready for the next interview, no problem." - Bebe C.

  • Effective Follow up.

    "The interview process has been such a mystery to me for so many years. I never know if I should be following up or not. I wonder when I don't hear back from jobs when they say I should. Katie walked through the whole process with me and explained what the likely outcomes would be based on what I was told in the interview and what actions were taken after. I feel more at ease knowing what to watch for now." - Mike G.

  • Offer Negotiation.

    "I've always had a hard time negotiating my salary, but this time around I was prepared. Katie talked to me about all the things I can negotiate at the offer stage and how to assertively make my request. Not only did I get a 4 day work week, but I also got the salary I deserve." - Mari F.
