Testimonials

“When I began working with Susan almost 5 years ago, I was a kid fresh out of college with no confidence and absolutely no idea what I wanted to do. Susan coached me to discover my strengths and taught me how to confidently market myself. She was a catalyst that brought about so much positive change in my life. Susan didn’t just find me a job; she found my calling. I can never thank her enough for that. Susan was my original life skills coach, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her.”

"​When I came to GradStagers, I was fresh out of college looking to get my first job and I was extremely overwhelmed and had no idea where to start. Susan taught me how to network and tap into the hidden job market. Previously, I had been exclusively looking for jobs via online postings - a frustrating and fruitless search. Within a month and a half of working with Susan and changing my approach, I had secured two interviews and a job offer. Thanks to Susan I am now happily employed in the industry I have always wanted to work in. "

"“Working with Susan was a breath of fresh air. I’ve worked with career coaches before and none of them took the time to truly understand my industry and my goals. I always felt they wanted to “copy and paste” previous strategies expecting the same success, but the music industry (as with all industries) has its own individual hurdles and expectations. Susan took the time to understand my previous experiences and was very approachable when doing so. She made the entire process enjoyable and I will continue working with her as my career progresses.”

"When I first graduated college, I had no idea how to go about the job search process. I was nervous, had little confidence, and felt my resume was lacking. After being introduced to Susan, and working through the GradStagers+ program, I was able to not only land a job, but she gave me confidence in myself and my working attributes, in order to better stage myself as an employee. She helped build my resume, and taught me a number of lessons about the job search process, and how to handle a number of situations. I highly recommend GradStagers+ to any recent graduate looking to establish a career, as it helped me find where I wanted to go."

"Susan is the real deal. She is truly a one-person army and full service shop for college students and recent college graduates. She does this thru identifying logical career options, resume creation, leverage points of social media sites, coaching on the interviewing process, and identifying real career leads.  She helped my son do all of these in a very structured process that coached him thru taking charge of his  career search. Thru her guidance, my son landed a dream job and is still loving it several years later. I strongly recommend her for any current or graduating college student."

"Fresh out of college and ready to tackle the job market, I found myself struggling to figure out my path and how to brand myself effectively. After working with Susan, the actionable steps I needed to take (and the ones I needed to leave behind) became very clear. She helped fix my LinkedIn, fine-tune my resume, prepared me for interviews, and offered sage advice and wisdom through the rocky road that is the job application process. I am very grateful for the time I spent working with her and would recommend the service to any college student or recent graduate looking to get a leg up on the competition."

​​"I highly recommend working with Susan and GradStagers+. If you are a college student or newly graduated and looking for that perfect first job. Susan has been terrific working with my niece to land an amazing internship for the summer. Among many things, Susan helped her focus her job search, refine her resume, social media profile, etc., develop a search strategy, prepare for and execute job interviews. Susan's deep knowledge of what employers are looking for and ability to see the potential in her clients allows her to help these students stand out and be successful in getting hired."

"Susan was an essential element in my preparation for job search and interviews. She was able to pick up on my personality quickly and tailor advice and techniques that were best suited to my style. I had an advantage over other young candidates in the years of knowledge and experience she was able to confer. With Susan's help, I knew how to best market myself and interview with any company."

'Susan was extremely helpful when my college age son came home during Thanksgiving break. She helped him fine tune his resume and gave great tips on presenting himself during an interview. Susan made strategic pointers on how to best have him present himself. Things we couldn’t have helped him with. Thank you Susan!"
