Andrea Gerson

I am still in the process of working with Andrea on my goals, but our first meeting was incredibly helpful. I've been so afraid to make the wrong move, that I forgot about the entire reason I wanted a career change in the first place. Andrea helped me understand my fears and focus on my strengths/interests. I will continue working with her to help get me to the place I belong professionally. I would readily recommend her to any friends who are looking for career guidance. She really listens to you and doesn't just throw out one-size-fits-all career advice.

Andrea was great! We had a 75 minute Skype interview preparation session. I really appreciate that Andrea took detailed notes throughout the call and sent me the STAR stories we worked on after the session was over. I got a job offer thanks to Andrea's help!

Andrea is not only incredibly helpful and straightforward, she is a welcoming person who makes you feel comfortable sharing your personal and professional challenges and goals. She actively listened to me, and provided such great suggestions as to how I can improve my resume. Her feedback helped me better focus on all of the process and operational improvements that I have achieved, and made me feel more confident in applying for an incredibly opportunity. She is also very timely in sending you the follow-up e-mail with her notes. I've already scheduled my next session with her, and can't wait to present my new and improved resume (thanks to her!). I highly recommend connecting with Andrea if you are at a professional/personal crossroads, or if you would like to improve your resume and self-confidence!

Andrea was very helpful, offered thoughtful feedback, and even connected me to someone for an informational interview.

As an entrepreneur and business owner who has gravitated to academia, I know that sometimes you need that independent and neutral opinion from a coach. Andrea has not only filled that role for me but she is a spark plug. She asks great questions that help her to understand how she can best help you. I found her to be bright, inquisitive, very knowledgeable, highly skilled and professional. She is not just providing a service --- Andrea cares about her clients. She went beyond her obligations and sent additional information to help in decisions that I needed to make. I plan to continue working with Andrea when I need that unbiased guidance and it is without hesitation that I highly recommend Andrea to anyone who needs help with their career change.

Andrea was extremely helpful in providing me with a clear direction on what I could do to improve my resume and job search. Her feedback was eye-opening and informative, and helped me to understand the slight improvements that I could make that will help me in my ultimate career goals. I would recommend her services to any professional seeking advice on how to advance their career search and meet their goals.

Andrea Gerson is a lifesaver. I have no idea why I hadn't thought of paying for this kind of service before, and now I could never go back. I hired Andrea and she was great. She gave me a great list to answer some personal questions about my past experiences. The questions she asked were some things I would have never thought of to mention to a future employer, I was already impressed from the get-go. Andrea is available: she responds in such a timely manner, she is professional, and she is skilled and knowledgeable about the work force industry. I also had her write a few of my cover letters which were excellent as well and easy to reword for each prospective job. She was also kind enough to send me a few links to prospective employers that fit my qualifications of what I was looking for. If you need to get that new job asap, DO NOT HESITATE! She will make the whole process, so much better for you. Oh, and by the way, I got the first job I applied and interviewed for. : ) And, I love my new job.

I cannot explain how grateful I am to have found Andrea's services. Her approach to career counseling is hands on and expert. After working with her, I immediately sent out 25 applications and received 20 interview requests almost immediately! Normally one wouldn’t think to pay for this type of service, but take it from me, it is one of the best career decisions you will make. I am so grateful to Andrea for her help and the boost in confidence that it has given me. She is also extremely communicative and answered any and all questions I had during the process. I look forward to continuing to consult her. Thank you Andrea!

Andrea is like an ignition in my life. After looking at my various resumes and job experience, she helped me to identify and most importantly, to pursue what I love to do, which had little to do with my actual work experience on paper. Her encouragement and sensibility was so valuable to the realization of my goals and helping me create meaningful work for myself. As a creative person, it can be hard to know how to direct my energy, and Andrea really helped me to hone in on what my strengths were and showed me that there are practical opportunities to use my creativity in ways that are self-sustaining. Her natural candor and advice helped me to quiet my debilitating negative self-talk so I could focus on shaping and pursuing my goals. I'm very excited about how my new career is going, and I feel stronger and more enthusiastic about my work than I've ever felt! I credit Andrea for catalyzing a shift in my identity that helped me find a way to live in a daily alignment with what gives me a sense of joy and purpose.
