Client Testimonials

Working with Nicole was the best career decision I’ve ever made. At the time, I’d just been impacted by layoffs and was looking to pivot to a different line of work. Even though I was on a tight budget, I recognized that working with Nicole was an investment in myself — and wow, did it pay off! 

I had a tough challenge: trying to get recruiters to understand I had transferable skills and beat out other candidates with a more traditional background. With Nicole’s guidance and insights as a recruiter herself, we were able to identify roles I would be a competitive applicant for, revise my résumé to show that I had relevant skills, and do mock interviews that helped me anticipate questions I ended up being asked by employers. Nicole’s thoughtful questions and feedback were a crucial part of my interview prep and gave me a huge confidence boost. 

Beyond her helpful services, Nicole is a true gem of a person. Applying for jobs can be a tiring, emotional process with ups and downs, and there is no better person to have supporting you along the way. Nicole’s kindness and friendly check-ins throughout my search kept me motivated, reminded me of the value I had to offer, and inspired me to focus on the things in my control.

I’m proud to share that within 3.5 months of my job search (while I still had my severance pay and health insurance from my previous job), I secured multiple job offers with a significantly higher salary than my prior employer had given me. Even though I had an unconventional background, I ended up with a dream offer in the field I wanted to pivot to, working for an amazing company. While Nicole humbly attributes this success to me, I know it would not have been possible without her guidance and the services she offers through Pivot Careers.
