He recognized this, and during our conversations he not only focused on developing a stronger resume and improving my LinkedIn profile, he also gave me a lot of personal encouragement and support. The timing of connecting with him was very fortunate. I met twice with the next company that I interviewed with, and they made me a great job offer, which I accepted.

(Keith Robinson, Fire,Safety and Security Manager)
"After 16 years in my previous position, I turned to Gary for help in navigating the search for new opportunities. After we reviewed my resume and LinkedIn profile I began finding jobs in my field, but all were full-time positions and I wanted to work only part-time. Gary guided me in negotiating with an organization that was interested in me, turning a full-time job into a part-time opportunity. Following his advice, I not only landed the job with part-time hours but also successfully limited my travel into the New York City office to one day a week. Gary provided excellent guidance, and I highly recommend him as a very experienced career coach." (Sherry Rosen - Researcher, Editor, Writer)

"I met Gary in a professional healthcare setting where I was employed but not happy. I have two Masters degrees, multiple healthcare certifications and extensive experience in my field, but was working in a job well below my level, and was frustrated by working under a management that did not appreciate me.
"Gary inspired me to think about my ambitions, and that I needed to make a change, but I realized that I could not do that without encouragement and guidance. As I continued talking with him, I learned about his unparalleled professionalism, and perhaps most of all, his sensitivity.

"I was hired within 3 months, shortly before COVID-19 hiring freezes went into effect. Most importantly, Gary remained encouraging and supportive throughout the entire process, coaching me through multiple online interviews and negotiations.

I feel that I have found the perfect match thanks to Gary’s experience and knowledge of the hiring process.
