Client Testimonials

 

“I was very fortunate to have Tom as my career coach. Tom's expertise and support helped me not only develop superb application documents, but also reflect about my previous job experiences, my interests, and long-term goals. In Tom I felt I had a trusted adviser who genuinely cared about my professional development and career objectives. Tom's guidance was instrumental in obtaining a highly coveted internship with Deloitte Consulting, which eventually turned into a full-time job offer.”

— Cristian A.

Senior Consultant, Deloitte

“Over the course of my two years at NYU, Tom worked closely with me to identify professional and academic opportunities to enhance my skill set; improve my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn; and prepare for interviews. Tom provided highly specialized advice, made himself available for monthly meetings, and continued his support beyond the academic year. He provided extensive, constant support throughout the 8-month Presidential Management Fellow (PMF) application process.

As a direct result of the guidance and support I received from Tom, not only did I graduate with a job offer, I was successful in obtaining my "dream job" position through the PMF program.”

— Stephanie H.

Senior Policy Analyst, US Dept. of the Interior

“Tom was instrumental in helping me to achieve my career goals post-grad school. His deep understanding of what organizations are looking for helped me cater my resume and cover letter to secure two internships while in graduate school. I'll be forever grateful and will continue to reach out to him for career assistance for years to come.”
