Appreciation:
-
From Martha Anderson to Julie Norwell:
“This is what I put on the business review site:
‘Grateful and loving my new job! After two years of being underutilized in a thankless job with undue amounts of red tape and politics, I landed with a great company and got a significant raise. Barrett Group provided me with great insights about myself, my desired career path, LinkedIn tools, and a coach that served as a sounding board, a dose of reality when I needed it, and practice interviews. Barrett Group also made changes to my resume, which garnered an uptick in interviews.
When/If I decide to make a next move, I will definitely consider re-hiring Barrett Group to support me. I’ve already recommended them to friends. Worth the investment in your life, your career.’
Thanks, and take care,
Marti Anderson”Julie also shared this feedback from Martha:
The Clarity Program was a big selling point for Marti going in. She got a lot out of her sessions with Justin Hellman and said everything resonated with her. Marti said it was of especial note that she did because of her background and is usually the one in the coach’s position. She enjoyed being on the receiving end of the relationship this time.
Marti really loved Sue Mitchell, her career consultant. She loved the work they did to revise her resume, the training they did on her LinkedIn profile, (she said she thought it was good to start, but Sue really helped her elevate it!), and the interview practice they did.
Best of all, she said, Sue was an outstanding sounding board for her as she did her job search.
She made sure to point out how helpful Waffles was in his willingness to rearrange the order of the TBG program for her. She had lined up an interview on her own even before she started the Clarity program and Waffles obligingly provided her with a coach to help her prep for the interview.

Rebeca shares this from her client H. who has landed 17 interviews with Recruiters by sending out 220 emails. He is super busy and motivated with the program. He sent me this:
“Huge thanks for your help, Rebeca! It really means a lot to me!”
