“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 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!”

“Michael is an incredibly warm and empathetic person, I immediately felt comfortable opening up to him. He has been beyond helpful in my grad school application process. 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.”

HOPE / PELHAM, NY

“My career coach helped me separate the noise and mundaneness, in my professional and personal life, from what I wanted. He 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. Working with Wanderlust Careers has been a life-altering experience.”

THEO /  NEW YORK, NY

“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.”

“The team members at Wanderlust Careers are warm, thoughtful, and immediately make you feel at ease. My carer coach had creative and outside the box suggestions. She helped me come up with an action plan and work toward my goals. She also helped me to calm my anxieties about my career and find happiness at my current job and inspired me to explore other interests outside of work (Pilates, clean eating, and acting) that have enriched my life and improved my performance at work.”
