I found Rebecca to be very warm and honest. Her approach reminded me of motivational interviewing; she asked a lot of deeper questions that really led me to discovering what the common thread was among my previous roles that brought me joy so I could take a more targeted, yet stairstep approach to my job search, and long term career aspirations. I also came away from our time together with action items that could start being implemented right away. Overall, I would definitely book another session, and recommend her to others - especially if you find yourself stuck in your process of searching/ interviewing for jobs or making strides forward in your career.

I came to Rebecca thinking I needed a career change. She listened and highlighted the fact that I didn't actually need a career change; I really needed to get back to the root of what scratches my itch, professionally. I had already indirectly made up my mind that I was ready to move on from my organization, and she helped me narrow my thoughts and focus on taking the steps toward preparing myself for the job search.

Before we had our session, Rebecca provided a career worksheet to help guide the discussion and that alone already gave me so much insight into my career expectations. I'm not sure I had ever approached a job change like this before, and I found the exercise of just mapping out my must-haves, listing companies I admire, and jobs that exist there, etc., to be eye-opening. I know it's a tool I can revisit. In my session with Rebecca, she helped me see traits in my myself I had not named and to recognize patterns in the activities, tasks, and settings that sparked joy for me. I came to Career Contessa and Rebecca for this session exactly because I needed help connecting the dots on what could be next and, frankly, to get some encouragement that great jobs are still waiting for me. Rebecca provided all that and more. She was friendly and engaged from the very beginning, spending a few minutes getting to know me personally before shifting the conversation to my career focus. I appreciated how well she balanced the time. I also appreciated how quickly she followed up after our session with notes and further things to consider. I would highly recommend working with Rebecca to jump start your next career search. I know I feel so much better after our conversation and feel better equipped to approach the next steps.

Job searching can be super overwhelming and stressful, but working with Rebecca took a huge weight off my shoulders. She really listens and helps you figure out what you actually want in a career. After just one session, I felt so much more at ease—and honestly, even excited to tackle the job search from a new angle.
