"I contracted with Carol Smith for employment coaching so that I could wisely choose my next career move. The outcomes I wanted and expected were to launch my own LLC for a consulting business part time, while I sought new full time employment. Carol tailored each session to my desired outcomes offering me the opportunity to develop comprehensive marketing and networking plans. She supplied boundless encouragement while challenging me to make decisions about my future. With Carol’s support I “gracefully” exited a high level administrative position I held for over 10 years, started my own small consulting business, and landed a full time position as the executive director of a small nonprofit in the metro Milwaukee area. Who says you can’t have it all?"

"Lets face it, being unemployed in this environment is no fun. After being unemployed for about a year, I needed a jump start to securing employment. So, I hired a career coach. This was new territory for me. Through a number of resources, I discovered Employment Readiness Solutions and hired Carol Smith for career transition and job search coaching. Initially, Carol spent an incredible amount of time assisting me in determining my short and long term realistic goals. With this information, she further assisted me in creating an action plan to achieve those established goals. A great way to describe her role is navigator. Carol helped me navigate my way through tough employment interviews, follow up strategies, and developing a more effective resume."

"I sought help from a career transition coach to help guide me through my decision to change careers. Carol is incredibly insightful, and realized that before she could aid me in my quest for "what I wanted to be when I grew up,” she needed to help me deal with the emotional aspects of deciding to move on. Carol helped me clearly identify my skill sets, goals and requirements for a position at a new company. With a tremendous grasp on getting to the heart of what each person specifically needs in their process, she moves you through each step very skillfully. I now have a resume of which I am very proud to present to a potential employer, and feel that it represents me well. Without Carol's input and direction, I would still be floundering around. Thank you Carol for your invaluable insight, and continued support. Anyone looking to make a career change, for whatever reason, should work with Carol!"
