Loken Careers

I’d been unemployed for a year and was floundering in the ‘I don’t know what to do with my life’ limbo when Alexa offered to help me. She was very organized, efficient, enthusiastic and encouraging… every step of the way! She asked thought provoking questions and even gave me some ‘homework’ in terms of really mulling things over and getting back to her. It was evident that she really did care and was excited to help me find meaningful work. She started sending me jobs right away and gave me the confidence to start applying. I’ve been offered 2 jobs since working with Alexa and I know that her counseling had a lot to do with that. I highly recommend using Loken Career services!

Alexa helped me figure what I wanted to do, greatly improve my resume, transformed my cover letter from pathetic to powerful, helped me look for jobs and helped me with interview preparation! She did such a great job, and in about a month I’m going to start my dream job. I highly recommend her when you are looking for a new job.

Alexa helped me during a recent job transition when I was moving across the state and finding not only a new job, but the RIGHT job for me, as fast as possible was key. This wasn’t a routine resume critique like you can get from anyone who has ever worked, because the first step was a conversation about what I was looking for and what I wanted in a job. Alexa made sure she understood not only my professional background, but the kind of office culture I work well in and the kind of boss I respond to, because those are the things that make a good job great. Only then did Alexa look through my materials to make sure the message I was sending was what I wanted received. The consultation resulted in many things: I was more confident in my resume’s presentation (yes, the achievements are all mine, but laying them out properly takes some unbiased feedback), my cover letters were more succinct and clear, and, most importantly, I finally felt like I was interviewing a job as much as they were interviewing me. Projecting that kind of confidence in yourself during an interview is very positive, and I know it made a difference in how I was perceived. The help I got from Loken Careers led me to a new position that is both rewarding, challenging, and in a culture and environment I enjoy every day. It’s worth taking the time to get some feedback that will both help employers see your value and help YOU see your value.

I’ve been a working professional for several decades so I’ve used my fair share of 3^rd party career service companies. Over time I’ve invested thousands of dollars, yet I honestly never received anything substantial that got me favorably noticed by recruiters or potential employers. Amazingly, I have had recruiters compliment me on my (newly designed) resume, referring specifically to the quality of the content as well as how succinct it was.
Working with Loken Careers during my most recent job search helped guide me on how and where to «pitch» my new resume. When working with Alexa, I knew from the very beginning of my job search that she was uniquely qualified and vastly different in her approach and results. She asked me lots of questions, was an excellent listener, and was able to hone-​in on both the big picture job market as well as my specific career needs.
I highly recommend Loken Careers for executive level job seekers, such as myself.

Alexa is great. She’s worked with me over the course of a few years, as I’ve been freelancing a bit. Every time I settle in to the idea of full-​time employment, I call her up and she helps me out tremendously. Her resume feedback is very helpful, and she’s great at tailoring resumes for individual positions. She’s also helped me consider numerous career options based on my interests, and I fully trust her input and judgement. She’s fast and efficient, and has sent a ton of great job listings my way. She’s also done a substantial amount of research for me in other cities across the US, so she can be a great resource if you’re looking to relocate. Definitely a great counselor, her company is well worth it!

I had been looking for a job for over a year. A few weeks after Alexa helped me improve my cover letter and gave me tips on the job search I got a job!

I recently moved to Austin and hired Alexa at Loken Careers. She helped me redesign my boring resume and cover letter to fit my creative field. The amount of online resources for job searching and individual listings she hand-​picked for me was amazing. Right away I got positive feedback and interviews. She is full of energy and very supportive with her knowledge and time.
