“Matt was really great to work with. I felt comfortable sharing with him the difficulties in my current career and also how lost I felt trying to navigate a career change. He helped me define coaching vs. mentoring, and then he modeled great coaching by helping me to see what I wanted.”

“Working with Matt was a fantastic experience! From his knowledge and experience to his attentiveness to wanting to work within my timeline of things, from start to finish Matt provided me with unparalleled service that has me excited and confident to pursue the opportunities I want to!”

“Matt is professional, empathetic, experienced, and timely. This is my second time working with him and I can honestly say that it was worth the investment. Matt helps you dig deep into yourself to pull out your experience and then helps you refine so that it shines in the marketplace.”

“Matt is an honest guy who tells it like it is. He was able to quickly determine what I needed to improve the quality of both my Resume and LinkedIn. The result was more cohesive and comprehensive summary of my best qualities. Having these documents refreshed is already a confidence booster. On top of that, he provided great advice on how to move forward and take aim at my goals. Matt has a kind demeanor and his down to earth attitude is exactly what I needed to start getting out of this rut.”

“For years I’ve let companies determine my compensation. I never negotiated until now. Recently, I lowballed myself when the Talent Acquisition Manager asked me for my rate during the interview. When I received the offer detail, my stomach dropped and I knew I needed to negotiate. I reached out to Matt for help. We had a 30-min phone call and in the next few days, Matt was available over the phone, text and email. He guided me what to say to the Talent Acquisition Manager, I sent him screenshots of my convo and Matt was very responsive. I’m very happy to report that with his help I increase my compensation by 11%. I was happy to have had Matt’s help throughout the process. I highly recommend Matt if you’re in the position needing/wanting to negotiate.”

“Matt was amazing to work with. after not interviewing for several years I struggled mightily with our initial mock interview. Matt was able to provide actionable feedback and quick fixes to help me better articulate my relevant work experience. I had two interviews the next day and have already advanced to the next round for both companies. I highly recommend practicing your interview skills with Matt, and look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“Matt was a great coach. I asked Matt for help with networking for the goal of finding a job, and he tailored our call to fit my goals and needs. I could tell he genuinely wanted to help me get the best results. Even though the topic was about networking, he took some time to review my professional materials to better understand my career situation, and made suggestions to make it better. He was also patient in clarifying the reasoning behind some of his strategies. Matt has a straight forward, honest, no-nonsense approach to coaching. He shared a networking plan with structure and process, which aligned with how I operate. He helped change the way I think about networking and career strategies, which will bring me closer to my goals.”

“Matt is a real pro - highly competent, engaged, and insightful. He hadn't previously advised anyone in my field - about which he was completely up-front - but he asked smart questions and listened carefully. His resume suggestions were perfect, often involving (in retrospect) simple solutions that had eluded me. Matt's strategic acumen also really came through during our consultation and was very helpful in reframing my approach to job hunting. Overall, a great experience thanks to Matt's skill as a coach combined with his willingness to go the extra mile for his clients. Highly recommended.”

“Matt was professional, insightful and direct. He was able to help me create focus and depth to my resume by asking pointed questions. His iterative and collaborative approach to refine my resume was extremely effective as well. Matt also helped me prepare for interviews through a very on-point role play session. He provided me very constructive feedback and I still apply it throughout my current interviews which have already led to very positive outcomes. Matt is truly a great partner and I highly recommend his services.”

“Matt was an invaluable asset for me as I kicked-off my search for a new opportunity in a brand new city. He took the time to methodically establish a job search strategy that was best suited for me and the roles I was targeting. He revamped my resume and LinkedIn page to a level that caught recruiters' eyes. Most importantly, Matt helped set me up for success in a mock interview by patiently providing behavioral/technical interview questions I could most likely encounter. I was able to put it all to use, immediately! The opportunity to work with Matt is definitely worth the time and the investment.”
