What Others Have to Say

Markey helped me when I lost my job of 10 years in 2020. She helped me clarify what I actually wanted from my next position, from what type of industry I wanted to work in, to the corporate culture I would be most comfortable in, as well as defining what is important to me personally.

Her workbook, Charting the Course & Landing the Job, proved to be a valuable tool in helping me prepare for interviews and salary negotiations. Markey also helped me refine my resume and strengthen my LinkedIn profile.

Additionally, she helped me with everything from how best to set up my office for videoconferencing, to how to angle the camera for best effect for on-line interviews.

Markey made herself available to answer questions and kept me positive during my job search. I managed to find a new job that aligned perfectly with the goals that we set together!

She is genuine and honest, and I recommend her services to anyone in the market for a job or career change.

Educator & Counselor, Vermont

I worked with Markey during a challenging time in my personal and professional life. Professionally, I was a member of a leadership team in a small business experiencing management conflict while simultaneously navigating elder care for a family member in a different state.

Markey’s experience, familiarity with the patterns that manifest themselves in small management teams, belief in placing personal needs in the appropriate place for each client, and empathetic ear helped her ask good questions to guide me along my path.

I am in a better place personally and professionally after working with Markey.
