Career Oyster

Following a layoff in 2013, I decided I needed a career coach because I had a very specialized skill set with few openings in the marketplace. This job search process required creativity and marketing strategy throughout. Howard provided that expertise and support. Together we collaborated and created an exceptional resume that highlighted my specialized skills as a Proposal Manager. We then mastered the art of communicating those skills in an interview and really showing my capabilities. Finally, and most importantly, Howard taught me how to approach the «hidden market» and uncover non-​posted jobs. The result of that effort, and thanks to his ongoing support, resulted in an excellent opportunity – one that I otherwise may have missed or been overlooked in a crowd of many. Having a Career Coach with Howard’s capabilities made all the difference and I highly recommend him.

After a corporate layoff, I received traditional outplacement services. However, I knew that I needed an edge for a successful job search. Career Oyster provided customized, detailed strategic planning for defining my career goals, adding depth to resume and how to interview successfully (even when changing industries). It is truly a partnership and provides a great value for the investment.
