Linda was an invaluable resource to me during my entire career transition. The depth and breadth of her work was very comprehensive. Linda had a variety of assessment tools that covered all aspects of my transition - from self assessment, to resume building, to marketing myself, to interviewing. One of the most important aspects for me was Linda's ability to identify my personal strengths and weaknesses. This built my confidence and enabled me to find a great match with my employer, which has resulted in excellent job satisfaction.

Termination of an employee is very emotional —not only for the employee but also for the manager delivering the news. CareerWorks made the process much easier. Our agency simply would not conduct a termination without CareerWorks on site.
