“ReadyGold allowed me to put my concerns and fears on the table and gave me the opportunity to work with a wonderful and caring counselor who happens to be very knowledgeable and efficient.  I am happy to say that at this moment I do not have any suggestions, all my questions and concerns were answered and discussed, my counselor knew my weak areas and we are currently working on them. My concern is to get myself ready to land that career job with a fortune 500 company and I would like to continue my relationship with my counselor until I do, no matter how long it takes.”

Job Seeker / Law Graduate
"The session with my counselor was extremely helpful in my job search in that it provided me with specific strategies to continue and expand my search. The SDS testing was extremely helpful in targeting appropriate careers. Posting of pertinent information on the personal web site makes it easy to retrieve and use the information. Thank you for your assistance."

“The test showed me the areas I am good at so I know what career fields suit me.  The counselor provided me with great ideas for learning more about careers that interest me such as networking to meet people who do the jobs I am interested in.  The counselor also provided me with great links to learn more about the careers I am interested in and also links to other tests that will help me decide on a career. I have no suggestions to change the program, it was a great help!”

Job Seeker / Alumnus, Harvard University
"I was very satisfied with the ReadyMinds Program. I loved the flexibility of being able to talk with my ReadyMinds Counselor when it was convenient for me. ReadyMinds worked around my rigid work schedule. It was comforting to know that I didn't need to take my lunch hour and talk quietly at my previous job about job searching for something new! For my friends or colleagues who are struggling (even in their late 20's) with what they want to do for a career, this might be just what they need to get them thinking about their options."

Job Seeker / Alumnus, Pace University
"During our sessions, my counselor disclosed many options to me - alternatives that I had not realized I had. She opened my eyes to more research that I can do when I thought I'd done everything possible. Most importantly, I felt as though my counselor was genuinely interested in my career goals. Telecounseling made me feel comfortable enough to reveal any questions or doubts that I was experiencing. It also made me realize that my personal interests and my career did not have to be mutually exclusive. Insight Into U was the most rewarding phase of the ReadyMinds Program. The "to do" list contained all of the research I needed to do in my personal situation. Each phase of the ReadyMinds Program brought me a step closer to my future career success. I want to thank my counselor from the bottom of my heart for pointing me into the right direction when I needed it the most. I just accepted a job and at this point in my life, I honestly cannot be happier. I will forever be grateful.”

"The fact that I did not personally know my counselor helped to open the lines of communication. She did not force her opinions on me, as family and friends have done and she was constructive, rather than critical."

Job Seeker / Alumnus, St. Francis College
"Although I had done a lot of thinking about my career decisions, my counselor helped me to understand what my values were. I did know them before, but I guess I never quite understood how important they were to me. Her help with my resume and cover letter were very good too. My counselor also provided me with great links to other sites that were extremely helpful. Thanks!"

Job Seeker / Alumnus, Ithaca College
"Before I started the ReadyMinds program, I just couldn't get my resume and cover letter to represent me well. Now they speak volumes! You can't believe the amount of confidence I now have in sending them out to prospective employers. And I'm very well prepared for interviews - my counselor taught me how to clearly represent my employment history and highlight what most interviewers would like to hear about my experiences. Thank you ReadyMinds!"

“My counselor clearly read and thought about my on-line evaluation before she contacted me. She was completely prepared for our telephone meeting. I think this will be invaluable for my job search.”
