From the start talking with Mark, it stood out through the questions he asked that he cared about my job search process and held deep knowledge about hiring/recruiting processes. I had an hour-long interview prep session with Mark, where he asked me many useful sample questions specifically tailored to the job, and provided insightful feedback and pointers. Even more, Mark shared with me a concrete system of preparing for future interviews that have continued to help me prepare and feel more confident than I have before. Since talking to Mark, I have landed a full-time job at a local nonprofit.
“After being laid-off recently, I was feeling intimidated by the task of searching for a new job. Thankfully, Mark made me feel at ease about my job search by providing great resources on the best way to prepare my resume and a cover letter that will get me noticed. More than this, he helped me understand how to approach both documents thoughtfully and strategically for the positions I would apply to. Thanks to Mark’s coaching and feedback, I was able to get an interview and exciting job offer with a company where I don’t have any connections because my cover letter caught the attention of the hiring manager! Mark’s coaching, resources, and experience really helped me stand out and obtain a great job opportunity. On top of that, this new offer came with a salary increase of nearly 50% over my previous job!” Jason O. via LinkedIn
“Mark was instrumental in helping me make a life-changing career transition. I came to him a couple of years ago knowing I was tired of corporate jobs and that I wanted to do something I could be passionate about. I had neither a very a clear idea of what that meant beyond “probably non-profit” nor how to go about making the change. Mark gave me the confidence to pursue the dream, helped me refine my vision and, when the opportunity came up, encouraged me to take the plunge. I am happier than I’ve been in years, love my job and, for the first time am passionate about what I do. Thanks Mark!” –Doritt L. via LinkedIn
I just started my 2nd week at my new job as an Assistant Director of Annual Giving at WPI. I am in my 2nd week because of Mark’s career and interviewing coaching. Mark’s expert advice, encouragement, skills, and feedback helped me interview for this position that I had felt I was best qualified for and really wanted. Thanks Mark!
“I began to work with Mark as I was beginning to explore moving from the corporate (finance) world to the nonprofit world. He provided invaluable counseling as we worked together over the next 6 months, initially giving me input on crafting an effective resume and then guiding me through a thought process that helped me clarify my goals and talents. After that he made him self-available to me whenever I had a question. I don’t think that I ever hung up the phone without him offering me some sort of contact or lead as well! I am pleased to say that I recently accepted a position in a nonprofit organization and I believe that Mark’s efforts were a critical part of my success in reaching that goal. I think that Mark does great work at a very reasonable rate and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a transition to the nonprofit world.” -Bernice B.
