You're Ready for a Career Change, is Your Resume?

It was one of the best investments I have made in myself! Working with Angie at Gen Dev has made it very clear what my values & skills are, what I'm aspiring for, and what is important to me in my next career. I enjoyed every session with her, and overall I gained a lot of self-confidence in my work experiences, and ultimately, I was able to land my new job, which I'm super excited about. I would say that this is helpful if someone needs guidance for the next steps in their career, whether it is an industry change, job role change, or simply unsure of the next steps. I was unsure of the industry transition that I was about to make and the value I bring to the table as an employee. I was hoping to find a coach who could guide me from a more holistic approach rather than land another job. My pre-consultation with Angie was promising, professional and I felt confident in her skills as a career coach. Angie was very nurturing and caring, and our sessions didn't seem so transactional but rather relationship building as she helped me discover myself better in my career journey. I was able to make a better sense of my story in my previous work experiences that led to where I am now and land a job at one of the best companies in the world. Being able to talk and open up to someone about my work insecurities was almost therapeutic to overcome those insecurities.

I doubled my salary and successfully pivoted my career by landing a job at one of the largest technology companies in the world, Amazon Web Services (AWS)! Angie has a keen eye for positioning a person's executive career achievements, drawing out the details, and quantifying a person's impact. Angie's approach is strategic, thoughtful, and polished. She empowered me to successfully pivot my career and speak about my experience from a macro level as opposed to focusing on specific tasks or projects. Angie wrote my resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile and coached me on two mock interviews. I can honestly say Angie is a critical part of advancing your professional career.

I’ve learned a ton about myself working with Angie and generational development! She really helped me become a better professional. I went from working with smaller companies to working for ADP, a Fortune 250 Company. Before working with Angie, that type of company wouldn’t even have given me a chance to interview. She helped me sell myself and my qualities, uncover skills I didn’t know I had or had taken for granted and taught me how to leverage networking to get better opportunities. On top of that, she optimized my LinkedIn and resume to be seen more by recruiters and hiring managers. That’s just a small example of what generational development has done to help my career. What surprised me most was how Angie went above and beyond to make sure I got the most out of our time together. Whether I was flaky because I was going through things emotionally or she needed to go overtime to explain something to me, she never gave up on me, I never felt rushed, and she never once complained. I always felt supported.
