Why Julie?
“In a single session, Julie helped me to understand more of my full potential, and gave me real practical steps to follow in order to successfully launch my career plan.”
“Julie LaCroix is the difference between me and all my unemployed friends, even a year after graduating from college. With her guidance, some persistence, and a little luck, I landed a great job straight out of school that really suited my talents and skills. She’s a fantastic resource for anyone that’s looking for real industry insight and personalized career advice. And for any upcoming or recent college grads, she can provide you with more direction to your job search than any college course or career center ever could.”
“I happily accepted an offer and this EXACT position I wanted, with the EXACT company I wanted to work for. I am forever grateful to you.”
“Julie is the best! I came to her 4.5 years ago for career guidance, and I just returned for a follow up as I’m steering in a new direction. Not only did she remember me from all those years go, we picked up right where we left off. If you’re struggling with what’s next and feeling hopeless, just see Julie! It’s an hour that’ll make you wonder why it took so long to schedule an appointment. Family and friends are great to speak with, but Julie is a kind-hearted professional that will cut out all the fluff and get you where you need to be.”
“The seeds you planted for my sons, who are now in college, and the rest of the crew two summers back were truly a gift. You made a rich contribution to their futures!!”
“I love Julie – Kind, considerate, professional, sweet and she cares. Did I mention so very talented – she was instrumental in helping me find my first job after college.”
“I wanted to give you an update and let you know I started my new job today! I wanted to thank you again for your help with my resume and getting me started. Your guidance and insight were invaluable!”
“Julie is remarkable. Could not recommend her enough. I was stuck in a job I hated with no path of how to get out, if I needed to switch industries or even where to start. Her approach is kind and consultative and I left with a huge confidence boost not only for my direction but to everything else around me. If you open up to her and tell her your pain points, she knows EXACTLY where to take it. Her mind works at 100 MPH and the ideas flow out of her. She shifted through every single skill set of mine and job I had ever done, pin pointed specific areas and within an hour, told me exactly where I needed to be. (Part of me knew going into my first session where I needed to be, but she laid out EXACTLY how to get there.) She’s extremely smart, well read and knows just about every industry out there. There is no one she can’t help in some way. She also revised my whole resume and cover letter. Julie is the absolute best and if you have ANY doubt about your career, skill set or future, I HIGHLY recommend her. There is nothing she can’t fix!! Thanks Julie!”
“I have neglected to thank you for your help with my son, but he is fully employed with a large national company in his field of interest! He was told he was exactly the kind of person they wanted. Your help was critical. He said the best part was the boost you gave his confidence. This job is great and has opportunity for variety, learning new skills on the latest equipment, and advancement. He enjoys the job very much and is being promised a promotion to heading a crew soon. He says he really likes the people he works for and with, and it all seems a perfect recipe for success. Thank you. We are so glad we found you. He had lost a lot of hope. Now he feels he has a career path ahead of him.”
