Alyson Garrido

Alyson,
Thanks to your resume writing skills, I have been getting plenty of phone calls and am going on an interview with a well-​paying job for the summer.

Alyson is a career coaching Superstar. I worked with her first at Oaktree Capital Management, and then had the pleasure of working with her one on one as a Career Coach a few years later. She genuinely listens and provides open feedback and insightful advice to help clients target their passions, reach their career goals, and effectively job hunt. I feel so fortunate to have her as a thought partner when I was transitioning careers and rebranding my professional image. I highly, HIGHLY recommend her to anyone wanting to take their life to the next level. She will be your best career advocate.

I worked with Alyson for several months while I was looking to make some changes in my career. From the very first day she was extremely professional and asked all of the right questions. We worked on my resume to make it look great and I felt very confident moving forward in my search. Additionally, we spent some time looking at my strengths and the types of jobs that I would be able to do with those strengths.
Above all, Alyson is really friendly and approachable. I really enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her coaching!

When I learned last week that my current position was being eliminated, Alyson was one of the first people I reached out to for guidance. Not only was my first conversation with her incredibly professional, Alyson was also kind, and insightful in helping me figure out next steps. We also met to go over my resume, and wow, I can’t say enough about her ability to make my resume shine! If you are going through a career transition, or just feel that getting your resume in order is a good plan, she is the best person to contact. Great listener, asks all the right questions to help you determine your path, and is excellent at ensuring your resume, and communications are true to you and your voice.

I did not know what to expect when I met with Alyson. I was in the transition to leave my current job as a teacher and go into a sales or office job — or so I thought. On the first official meeting, after our first free session, she helped me realize that an office job was not for my personality, so I was reluctant to take a step back and look at myself from a different perspective. The key points of creativity, interpersonal communication, and positive social change has always been a part of me. Alyson had made me realize that those key points are important to me in my life and I would not be happy at an office job. She helped me see that the small business venture that I have my toes in would be perfect for me since it entailed everything I would need to fulfill the needs of my personality. Through Alyson, I was able to pinpoint my strengths (by using the strengths finder 2.0 book) which gave me a boost in confidence to succeed. Within a matter of weeks, I was able to accomplish what I thought would take months. I proactively learned to web develop, create a business plan, and learned Adobe Illustrator. I am now moving forward and seeing positive progress with my small business venture. I don’t think I could have seen where I am without the help of Alyson.

I am very grateful for the time I spent with Alyson. She brings real-​world experience to the meeting to provide a fresh perspective and fields frank questions that give insight into how industry professionals are perceiving the profile I am putting out there. She is also incredibly compassionate and guides the conversation with questions and insights that open up possibilities that I had not otherwise considered.

I met with Alyson she is great! All she did was listen and ask questions which is exactly what I needed. Alyson asked questions about what is it that I see my self doing and what makes me happy. I spoke to her a little bit about going to nursing school and other potential careers I wanted to do in the past. Her questions helped me realize that what makes me happy is what I should go for. I highly recommend Alyson she is the BEST!

Alyson was attentive, knowledgeable, and forward thinking during our meetings. Her extensive experience in HR made her a resource for job interview preparation. Most of all she offered encouragement and helped build my confidence during the grueling job process. I highly recommend her as a Life Coach/​Career Counselor.

I highly recommend Alyson. She is very detailed and thorough and can lead you in the right direction about your career I feel that in many discussions with Alyson she was able to help me choose great sentence structure when it came to writing my resume bringing my resume to a whole new level! Very happy with the assistance that Alyson gave me! Thank you!!!
