"Dr. Janine is an amazing career coach and extraordinaire. I first met her through a referral in the UC Davis Alumni Network. Moving back to the Bay Area after living abroad, I wanted to pivot from being a flight attendant to corporate America. After several attempts to apply for a new job, I was unsuccessful in securing interviews and knew that I needed to seek professional help.
Janine sat down with me to go through my strengths. She challenged me to focus on interchangeable skillsets such as customer service and communication skills.
I immediately received a handful of interviews which ultimately landed my first corporate job! Several years later, I've also hired Janine as an Executive Coach to prepare me for the next step in my career journey. Her warm and friendly personality, professionalism, and knowledge is worth every penny!"
