Testimonials

Kim Kelley
Associate Provost, University of Maryland

"UMUC is committed to providing its students and alumni high-quality career services that expertly utilize the Web and are available whenever and wherever UMUC's students need them. Our non-traditional student population was not adequately served with place-bound career counseling and the ReadyMinds model permits us to expand and develop our vision of offering online career counseling."

Sandra Kirkland
Director of Student Services, University of Richmond

“We are glad to continue our relationship with ReadyMinds. Being able to provide professional distance career counseling assistance to our continuing education population has been a positive and well received addition to the University’s career counseling services.”

Ned Swartz
Assistant Dean, University of Richmond

"ReadyMinds has provided excellent service to our undergraduate and graduate students in the School of Continuing Studies. We now have the opportunity to extend these career services to our active alumni who may be looking for other employment, changing careers or improving professionally."

Michelle Relyea
Dean, Long Island University (Former Career Service Director)

“As a former Career Services Director, I experienced the many benefits of bringing the ReadyMinds Program to my office. Graduate students and alumni who needed career counseling services including assessment, exploration, decision-making and self-marketing assistance were able to access these services from home, office, or school seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. The ReadyMinds Program offers convenience and flexibility that the classic Career Center cannot provide. Most importantly, by utilizing the services offered by ReadyMinds, your office can reach students who might not have the accessibility to the career center. From a financial perspective, the cost of the program saved my office and the University thousands of dollars.”

Janet Pelto
Career Counselor, Univeristy of Minnesota's College of Continuing Education (CCE)

"Online Career Counseling offers several advantages. First, it's 24/7. Anytime you have a question, you can send it off, and geography is no issue --- you don't have to be near a good counselor. Plus some people find the anonymity of online counseling to be safer. They're more willing to be forthcoming. While you do lose the nonverbal cues, good online counselors learn how to listen in other ways."

Bill Wright-Swadel
Director of Career Services, Harvard University

"This was the appropriate time for the Office of Career Services at Harvard University to utilize the expertise of the ReadyMinds Team. Our career counselors are interacting with students and alumni as they study, learn, and work around the world. The ReadyMinds Team has developed effective tools and expertise in the area of Distance Career Counseling, using both cyber and telephone interactions. The ReadyMinds training served to be extremely informative and should improve our counseling effectiveness as we continue to develop both media in our career counseling services."

Debra Laks
CDSN - Program Committee

"Thank you so much for a wonderful presentation at the January 2003 meeting of the Career Development Specialists Network of NYC (CDSN). The ReadyMinds team delivered a highly professional program that was rich in content and depth. It is evident that your counseling approach is extremely well researched and based on the highest ethical standard. ReadyMinds has succeeded in bringing together the best counseling practices with the far reaching benefits of computer technology to offer quality distance counseling."

Angela Yorio

"On behalf of our staff and graduate interns from our three campuses, thank you for your presentation on Distance Career Counseling on our staff training day. The ReadyMinds Team provided great strategies on how to incorporate many facets of their comprehensive program into our existing practices. We also are very excited to possibly implement a similar service to our alumni population."
