Angie is the best at this job and the right person to hire if you are looking! As long as you put in the hard work and effort as well, her coaching skills, advice, job search & network training goes a long way. With her assistance, I found my dream job and it happened much quicker than I ever imagined!

At the end of last year (2020), we wanted to get a career coach for our daughter, who was graduating from college the following Spring (2021) and was nervous about getting a job and starting her career. We interviewed three career coaches, including Angie. Two were corporate institutions where we spoke with a contact person, not the actual career coach. One indicated that all communications would be through a portal. When we spoke with Angie, she was personable, knowledgeable and inspired confidence. She clearly had a lot of experience and she understood the timing and process for a job search. We trusted that her process would lead to opportunities, although we understood that there are never any guarantees. My daughter told me that after every conversation with Angie, she my felt more confidence in what she was doing and where she was in the process. My daughter had to do a lot of leg work, and Angie provided structure and guidance. Certainly, there were times when it seemed that nothing much was happening. At the end, right before graduation, my daughter was offered employment in a firm that she was genuinely interested in. It is a good fit for her. I am very happy with the outcome. I have told my friends and family about my experiences with Angie, and I recommend Angie without reservation. I would certainly use Angie again if needed.

I had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Angie during a time where I was transitioning in many areas of my life. Angie gave me the tools necessary to find a new job, help my professional life grow, and lead me in the next steps for my passion project. Overall, she was a delight to work with and it felt like I was collaborating with a close friend. My professional life has grown exponentially and that is due to the work Angie and I did together. If you are teetering on hiring a coach, do it! Angie has the tools to help you move forward on your professional journey.

Angie is incredible. Our conversations were like talking to an old friend. I came into the process frustrated with my job search and not knowing what to do next. One conversation with Angie and soon after I had an optimized, modern resume, with matching cover letter for my next interview. I’m excited to get into Angie’s coaching sessions in the future!

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  We start every potential client off with a free strategy session to gain insight and select the right process for your needs. From there, we set our first session where it's all about getting to know you. Our coaching is very personal, intuitive, and driven by my emotional intelligence. We don't follow set assessments or rubrics to evaluate your strengths and goals (unless we feel it will be helpful to you). Instead, we get to know you and your goals to create a strategy on how to achieve them.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  The inspiration for Career Benders comes from our Founder's own personal experience. Angie started her career as a Civil Engineer after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. After eight years in the industry, Angie decided to move on, wishing to be in a more creative environment. Eventually, after stints in advertising, sales, and small business, Angie became the executive director of an arts nonprofit, where she excelled. Continued below!
