I have already recommended VelvetJobs/Might Oak Careers to my colleagues. I would also tell them to make sure to be sure to use their sessions sooner rather than later and to come prepared because the asynchronous communication will make the in-person meetings that much better.

After three years of working at my previous company, my department was laid off and as part of severance, contracted with Amanda for career coaching. During our three sessions, she was incredibly insightful and a significant help to my job search, providing guidance from the recruitment industry and helpful resources.

When I was laid off, I wasn't just looking for a new job—I was trying to rebuild my confidence. I had started doubting my own abilities and convinced myself that I no longer deserved a Senior Accountant role. I was even willing to settle for positions well below my experience and potential.

Working with Luann Horobin completely changed that.

Luann didn't simply help me with my job search; she transformed my mindset. Through her coaching, she challenged my limiting beliefs, helped me recognize my strengths, and encouraged me to see my layoff as an event—not a reflection of my worth or capabilities. She helped me shift my perspective from self-doubt to self-confidence.

Her guidance gave me the confidence to pursue the opportunities I truly deserved instead of settling out of fear. Thanks to her coaching, I successfully landed a Senior Accountant position that aligns with my experience and career goals.

What makes Luann exceptional is that she genuinely cares about the people she works with. She listens without judgment, asks insightful questions, and provides practical strategies that create lasting change. Her coaching extends far beyond interview preparation or résumé advice—she empowers you to believe in yourself again.

I highly recommend Luann Horobin. She has had a profound impact on both my career and my outlook, and I will always be grateful for her guidance and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
