“After years of feeling dissatisfied in my current field, I discovered Wanderlust Careers, and it was — no exaggeration — life-changing. The Career 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 Careers to anyone. Thank you!”

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 WC 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. WC Career Coaches help to identify your passions and validates them, giving you the courage to move forward.”

Read More“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 career coach really took her time to get to know me, where I’m coming from, and what I was looking to achieve. She was 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!”

Over time our working relationship grew and I cannot say enough how wonderful it is to have a whole team focused on moving you and your career in the right direction. The Wanderlust Careers team 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 WC’s guidance. They stuck by me throughout the application process, reviewing every draft, every email, every resume I sent her way. My coach’s holistic manner of subtly coaxing your most thought provoking work is remarkable. They are a dedicated, passionate, and insightful practitioners and you won’t regret working with them; the mistake would be to not to!”

He not only helped me craft my personal statement and prepare for interviews, but also provides so much emotional support. I really grew to rely on his reassurance and remarkable ability to motivate during a very stressful time of my life. Michael 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! Michael has guided me in working through my anxiety and facing my fears, I don’t know what I would have done without him.”

“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.”

Read More“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.”

Read More“I cannot recommend Wanderlust enough!! I started working with Katherine 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 Katherine’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!”

Read More“I really can’t say enough about Wanderlust Careers and their ability to provide career coaching and help me with my career path. I came to them 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 career 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. The Wanderlust Careers team 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.”
