CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Here's what some of our clients have to say
"I had one 10-15 minute phone conversation with Wanderlust Careers that resulted in getting me a job without even using their services."
“One other time I had tried to go to a career counselor and was basically told, ‘Well, there’s really no helping you “creative types”, sorry.’ I had one phone 10-15 minute phone conversation with Wanderlust Careers that resulted in me getting a job without even using their services. To me, the fact that they were willing to help me in a way that did not benefit them at all speaks volumes to the level of care and character that this business is being run with and I would recommend them to anyone in need of some help.”
"The day after I submitted the new resume to a job (that I had applied for two times prior), I got called for an interview, and that is where I am currently happily working!"
“I had the honor of working with Wanderlust Careers to update my resume and to build a new one for a different career direction. They were both works of art that were carefully thought out, making the highlights shine and using wording suitable for what I was looking for. They were efficient, professional, and overall extremely well done. The day after I submitted the new resume to a job (that I had applied for two times prior), I got called for an interview, and that is where I am currently happily working! I also got called for two other interviews from the new resumes that I submitted. My coach really took her time to get to know me, where I’m coming from, and what I was looking to achieve. She is a great communicator, reliable, supportive, and a joy to work with. I recommend Wanderlust Careers to anyone looking to greatly improve their approach to job hunting!”
"Working with Wanderlust Careers changed my life, I have recommended their services to all of my friends, family and ex-coworkers (emphasis on ex!)
“If I could give 10 stars I would. Working with Wanderlust Careers changed my life, I have recommended their services to all of my friends, family and ex-coworkers (emphasis on ex!)
I spent years feeling lost and unfulfilled in my career. I really needed some direction and someone to help me better understand who I am and what would make me happy. Not only did I make a massive career change (from sales to graphic design), I better understand who I am and have become a happier more confident person because of it.
The report that my coach provided was so in-depth, it even brought to light how my childhood experiences (such as my parents divorce) might have influenced my aptitudes. Even if you are not looking for a big career change, its a fascinating experience which I think could help anyone to become a happier person. As an adult you don’t always give yourself permission to explore your interests and make big changes. Katherine helps identify your passions and validates them, giving you the courage to move forward. I also had the pleasure of working with Michael, he is also a wonderfully attentive person and would recommend him for career coaching.”
"wanderlust careers’ assessment and coaching has pushed me toward a major career change in my late 30s."
“After years of feeling dissatisfied in my current field, I discovered Wanderlust Careers, and it was — no exaggeration — life-changing. Wanderlust Careers’ assessment and career coaching has pushed me toward a major career change in my late 30s, and I’m now considering two job offers and more graduate school. Their process (not to mention the outcome) is truly empowering! I would recommend Wanderlust to anyone. Thank you, WC!”
“If you are looking to make improvements or changes in any part of your life at all, I would absolutely look no further than Wanderlust Careers.”
“I feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with Wanderlust Careers. Although initially looking for help during a challenging career change, I gained so much more than acceptance into a PhD program from my time with my coach. My career coach is so incredibly dedicated to his work and to helping me achieve my goals...Coming from a background in vocal performance, I was recently admitted into several first-rate institutions for a PhD in history, including an Ivy League, and am so excited and confident moving into this next chapter of my life. WC has fostered a new love of life and appreciation for the process of decision making and I would certainly not be where I am today with their help....I would absolutely look no further than Wanderlust Careers.”
"Wanderlust Careers has seen me through countless jobs, promotions, and now graduate school acceptances.”
“I discovered Wanderlust Careers through their website and the team quickly got to work helping me update my resume and re-focus my career path. Over time our working relationship grew and I cannot say enough how wonderful it is to have a team so focused on moving you and your career in the right direction. Wanderlust Careers has seen me through countless jobs, promotions, and now graduate school acceptances. I was recently admitted to NYU and Columbia, the latter of which I was awarded scholarship funds, and I owe a large part of my success to their guidance. My career coach stuck by me throughout the application process, reviewing every draft, every email, every resume I sent her way. Her holistic manner of subtly coaxing your most thought provoking work is remarkable. The Wanderlust Careers team are dedicated, passionate, and insightful practitioners and you won’t regret working with them; the mistake would be to not to!”

My coach helped me come up with a specific plan for goals to accomplish over the week and it’s paid off. Thanks to Wanderlust Careers, I’ve just been accepted to a doctoral program!

Truly a great motivation to any human he encounters and boy am I glad one of them was me! He is someone who lives with such integrity and his charm is contagious! He has truly inspired me to be my best self yet!
The Writing Team has always been so detailed in translating who I am so eloquently! Ive always admired people with that kind of wit! They taught me that even resumes, & business plans can sparkle too! I have confidently referred her to my high-profile friends who are equally impressed with her level of expertise.”
"I feel extremely blessed and grateful to have Michael by my side."
“If today, I am what I am, I owe it all to one person - Michael. I have come a long long way ahead, and closer to the person I want to be because of his empathy and guidance. From Day 1, he made me feel comfortable and I opened up to him without any inhibitions or walls. With every talk, I feel myself grow. No matter what state of mind I enter in, I’ve always left feeling so happy after talking to him. His understanding of the mind is simply brilliant. He allows me to gain perspective on situations as well as myself. I admire the approach he takes to keenly understand as well as give context to conversations. My journey with him has evolved from therapy to coaching and he will always be a very integral part of my life. I feel extremely blessed and grateful to have Michael by my side.”

My coach suggested a range of easy tasks, shared quotes and stories tailored to my personal journey and held me accountable to my goals with gentle humor and a firm reassurance that the best self can always be rediscovered and nurtured. Because of my sessions with WC I am a better resource to my friends and family, many of whom regularly remark on the positive changes they have witnessed firsthand. My coach has coached me through graduate school, family transitions, and professional growth with a compassionate, attentive, and enthusiastic consistency that has changed my life.”

"Working with Michael and Wanderlust Careers has been a life-altering experience."
“Michael helped me separate the noise and mundaneness, in my professional and personal life, from what I wanted. Michael allowed me to first rediscover the things that I found joyful. Through this rediscovery, I was able to map out a high-level plan, which I struggled to communicate during our first call from being overwhelmed at work.
Some of the stumbling blocks that I had chosen to ignore, as not significant enough issues, surfaced and talking through what now appear to be simple concerns were unthinkable to resolve, at the time.
Michael coached me to regain my confidence and redirect my energy toward tangible outcomes. He made it possible for me to expunge the guilt of thinking ‘we can have it all.’
Furthermore, Michael has better prepared me to approach bigger issues and provided tools to alleviate thorny problems or as we like to call it ‘getting the ugliest things off your list, first.’
Working with Michael and Wanderlust Careers has been a life-altering experience.”
"Immediately, I received responses from a number of places I applied to..."
“After cutting ties with a job and career path that had left me feeling unfulfilled, I had several questions that I was struggling with, in creating a new path. Wanderlust Careers’ process helped me with these questions. Through several tests we were able to get a clearer picture on my strengths, passions, and general work preferences. We then used that to put together a game plan to find a situation that would be a good fit for me. The support continued as I started actively searching for jobs - including up-to-date, effective strategies in connecting with potential employers, as well as thorough resume and cover letter reviews. Immediately, I received responses from a number of places I applied to, and interviewed with several companies until I completed the process with a position and company that felt right. My current job is feeling much more fulfilling than my previous one, while in an environment much better suited for my strengths. From start to finish, Wanderlust Careers’ process has greatly assisted me in developing the skills necessary to first define what I want, and then go execute those goals.”
"I got a job within 2 months...This was one of the best investments I've ever made, and it certainly paid for itself in my first paycheck at the new job!"
“I cannot recommend Wanderlust enough!! I started working with my coach as I was moving from London to NYC and job searching. I already knew what field I wanted to work in, but needed help narrowing down exactly what I wanted- in a very short amount of time! I completed 5 counseling sessions with her. She coached me in every aspect of my search from start to finish- reviewing my cover letters and resume, going over interview techniques, and later when offers came through, on benefits and salary negotiation. The entire process was conducted via video conference and e-mail, which made it incredibly convenient, especially during a hectic period of my life when I was job searching AND looking for an apartment simultaneously! I got a job within 2 months. I know it would have taken at least twice as long without my coach’s help, which I literally could not afford. This was one of the best investments I’ve ever made, and it certainly paid for itself in my first paycheck at the new job!”
"I would recommend Wanderlust Careers to anyone who is struggling and needs a boost."
“I really can’t say enough about Wanderlust Careers and my coach’s ability to provide counseling and help me with my career path. I came to her after coming to terms with the fact that I was really unhappy with my employment situation and needed to make a change. I had no idea if I wanted to completely change careers or just make move into another area in the same field. After a just a few sessions, my coach helped me figure out what was really important to me and guided me in such a way that I was able to not only figure out a path that has not only made me happier with my job, but also enabled me to make more money at the same time. My coach has a way of helping you think outside of the box and realize that there is so much more opportunity out there than you might see at first glance. I would recommend Wanderlust Careers to anyone who is struggling and needs a boost.”

I can’t wait to return to university and continue my pursuit of this direction of my life! She was truly amazing!”
