Love from my Clients

 

Susan O.

“I'm so grateful to Cindy for helping me land my dream job of Instructional Designer! After deciding to transition out of the classroom as a teacher and into a work-from-home position, I was feeling really lost and overwhelmed. Cindy helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, optimize my resume and cover letters and prep me for interviews. As a result of working with Cindy I was able to find a new job within a few weeks. I'm now getting ready to start a remote job for way way more money than I was making as a teacher. She gave me the tools and confidence to be successful in my future career.

If you're looking for a career coach who can help you find the right career path and succeed in your job search, I highly recommend Cindy! She is a skilled and knowledgeable professional who can help you reach your goals!”

They said my resume beat out hundreds.

 

Lauren E.

“Cindy is everything I was looking for in a career coach.

As a (now former) teacher and a mom of 2 small children, I wasn’t sure which direction I wanted to go in when looking for a new career. After my discovery call with Cindy, I knew as soon as I hung up the phone that she was going to help me reach my goals. She was flexible - changing our weekly meetings last minute if something came up or to prep for an interview. Cindy was the kick in the butt I needed. I felt prepared at every single interview because Cindy had coached me. She held me accountable when some days I really wanted to just throw in the towel. If you are a current teacher, if you are looking to change careers, or if you are just wanting to get a new job, Cindy will help you get there. I highly recommend her! She is worth every penny and I couldn’t be happier in my new remote role (with a $35k pay increase!)

Thank you so much Cindy! You helped me change my life!”

How I left teaching and received a $35,000 pay increase.

 

Jackie D.

“I followed Cindy on LinkedIn for a couple of months before deciding to hire her to help me with my job search. She was the perfect coach to help me with clarity, understanding a new approach to transforming my cover letters and resumes to fit each job opening, and keeping me accountable through the whole process. It is because of her and her guidance that I landed several interviews as well as a wonderful job offer!

The whole experience with Cindy has made me a more confident person and has pushed me to do something adventurous next year! She is the best! I was not confident enough to take a chance without her program. She believes you are amazing and really wants you to succeed. She pushes you to think outside the box, work hard, and set goals. Do yourself a favor and invest in her program. Cindy is worth it and so empowering for women! I only wish I had signed up sooner.”

 

Julie P.

 

“I was looking for a change and didn't know where to go for help. I found Cindy and so glad I did.

She helped me more than I ever thought was possible. Our sessions were so productive, no fluff, right down to business and I loved that. The difference was almost immediate.

She gave me the confidence to really know my value and be able to demonstrate it in interviews. When I was feeling discouraged, she wouldn't let me give up. She was always available when needed, not just during our sessions. We still keep in touch. And guess what? I accepted an offer twice as much as my salary! Thanks to Cindy!”

 

Kristin C.

“Confident” and “well-spoken” are words I never would have used to describe myself before working with Cindy. But in the 3 months we worked together, that was the feedback I consistently received after interviews, which led to 4 job offers and the start of a new career.

Cindy helped me turn my time as a teacher into relevant corporate experience and gave me the tools to succeed not only in my job search but in my personal life as well. She is genuinely there for you through 100% of the process and is available whenever you need her.”

Investing in Cindy is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

 

Allison F.

 

“Cindy is amazing. She was there for me every step of the way with virtual meetings, encouraging texts, and resume reviews.

Highly recommend her for anyone looking to make a career change- could not be happier with her services! I landed a dream job and could not have done it without her!”

 

Jordan L.

 

“Cindy was such a blessing to have during my job search. She’s very honest and tells you what you need to hear. I’ve learned so much in how to job search, interview better, and how to present myself. The things I’ve learned from her continues to be a value now that I’m in a new position and beyond in my career journey.”

If I can get up every day and teach 5th graders math and get them excited about it, then I think I can get almost anybody excited about anything!

 

Rose H.

“I highly recommend Cindy Lish for anyone looking to transition out of teaching into a new career path. Cindy's guidance and support were instrumental throughout the entire process from providing the best sites to search for jobs to interview prep and transitioning into your new role. The self-paced modules provided comprehensive and practical information, which provide unlimited ongoing support.

Cindy takes the time to truly build a relationship with her clients through her one on one sessions. She is exceptional at learning a person’s qualifications, key strengths, and personality traits to expertly guide her clients to expertly tailor resumes and cover letters that get noticed! Through her guidance, I have gained a confidence in customizing my resumes and cover letters independently. Her interview practice sessions were particularly instrumental in preparing me to confidently answer any question I may encounter during an interview.

Thanks to Cindy's expertise and dedication, I successfully secured a position that aligns perfectly with my skills and aspirations. I am deeply grateful for her mentorship and would recommend her services without hesitation to anyone navigating a career change.”

 

I finally have a job with the freedom and autonomy I’ve always dreamed of!

 

Alessandra H.

“Cindy is the investment you need to make professionally and personally.
For months, I was stuck in the never-ending cycle of not knowing what I wanted to do next combined with massive imposter syndrome. I was so tired of hearing “just tailor your resume,” or “upskill!” I needed answers and help that google was not giving me, but I was wary of flashy, over the top programs guaranteeing 6 figure salaries or social influencers with empty promises. Cue

Cindy’s promise of a combination of a no-nonsense kick in the butt and compassionate hand-holding, and I knew I had found the right employment expert.

From our free, 45-minute discovery call to our last session, Cindy provided a candid outlook of the job search process, real insight into what it takes, and a clear understanding of her wealth of knowledge. She made herself available for any and every question I had (and there were many), instilled a level of confidence I didn’t know I possessed, and motivated me to a degree I wouldn’t have thought possible. Most importantly, she taught me to look at not just job hunting with strategy, but also myself as a marketable brand. I am proud of the person I have become with

Cindy’s guidance, empathy, grit and determination.
If you are scrolling job postings and wondering, “really though, what does tailoring your resume actually mean, is it even possible for someone like me have transferable skills, or what do I even want to do next?” make the decision to put your time, money and energy into making your current and future better-contact Cindy.”

 

Cindy helped me find my confidence and land a unicorn job!

 

Taylor K.

“Cindy is fantastic!

I loved our 1:1 sessions because I never felt lost in a big group of people, and her modules have an incredible amount of useful information.

With Cindy’s help I was able to successfully transition out of the classroom.”

How I landed a meaningful position in only 1 month!

 

Heather C.

“On Monday I start the job I left teaching for. I am becoming an Instructional Designer.

Leaving teaching was so hard because I love it and I am really great at it too. Leaving that comfort zone to pursue a career that is totally different was scary and exhilarating.

I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of Cindy. She made the daunting, exhausting, and tedious experience of job hunting and resume writing something that became exciting as I finally saw the interviews and offers start rolling in!

Cindy found the words I was looking for to showcase my experience on my resume and had the perfect touches for a cover letter that would WOW!

I cannot thank her enough! After I spent 4 months applying for over 100 jobs on my own with no promising callbacks, she was able to help me exactly where I needed it.

With that help, I FINALLY got several callbacks, had 5 companies that I interviewed with in multiple rounds and two really great job offers all in two months!

If you're wondering if getting a career coach is worth the money, CINDY is! Whatever special magic she sprinkles on her clients to help them show their greatness to the world is worth every penny!”

Cindy made the job search easy and fun. And I loved that I didn’t have to choose 1 direction. I had multiple interviews and offers in many fields because of the work I did with Cindy.

 

Daviona S.

“I cannot highly recommend Cindy enough! Her expertise and unwavering support were instrumental in my successful transition from teaching to L&D. From the moment we started working together, Cindy made me feel like my job search was her top priority. She walked me through step-by-step how to tailor my resume and write compelling cover letters that accurately and brilliantly translated my skills to companies. In addition, her interview prep was a game-changer; the mock interviews we did together boosted my confidence and prepared me for the real thing. Her feedback throughout the entire process was always crucial in taking my job search to the next level.

What really stands out about Cindy is her commitment to professionalism, punctuality, and accessibility. She never missed a session nor was late for a session, and consistently made herself available outside of our coaching sessions via text and email. No matter the time of day, Cindy was there to answer my questions and give me advice. I always knew I had a reliable partner in my corner.

She is a true powerhouse with the dedication and passion to turn your job search into a success story! If you’re looking for a career coach who will go above and beyond to ensure your success, Cindy is the one to turn to!”

 

How hiring Cindy changed my job search!

 

Jaime H.

 

“Cindy is amazing to work with. I found her to be personable, approachable, and well versed in the field of career coaching.

Her career coaching program was instrumental in my success in transitioning from years in education to the non-profit sector. Cindy is a pleasure to work with and provides an excellent service. I highly recommend her approach and program.”

How I went from a PE Teacher to a Director.

 

Mackenzie B.

 

“There are a lot of people out there giving career advice. Before I met Cindy, I was taking information from here, advice from there and trying to piece them together trying to get a job. Cindy had reached out to me a few months into my job search, but at that time I didn't think I "needed" a career coach. After trying (and struggling) on my own for a while, I decided to set up a free phone call with Cindy. I'm so glad I did!

Cindy is a one-stop shop for ALL things careers! She is knowledgeable on topics including resumes and cover letters, how to prepare for an interview, what to do after an interview is over, negotiation tips and SO much more. I would recommend Cindy to anyone who is struggling to secure interviews, can't seem to get past the first or second round or who isn't sure which direction to go next. She was great to work with!”

 

Cassidy C.

“I highly recommend Cindy if you are someone looking to transition out of teaching. Cindy is an amazing motivator and will be your biggest cheerleader throughout the entire process! Going into my first meeting with her, I knew I had tons of versatile skills from teaching, but didn't know how to translate those skills into a resume built for the business world. Cindy guided me through the resume writing process, demonstrating just how important and transferable my abilities are. In addition, Cindy walked me through how to write a cover letter that not only explains my background and values to potential employers, but also catches the recruiters attention and stands out from the very first word.

When you become more confident in resume and cover letter writing, Cindy will also work with you on how to stand out in an interview. From how to present yourself visually, to how to best communicate your value, Cindy walks you through it all. I left each session with Cindy feeling more confident in myself and more prepared to take on the job market.

After working with Cindy, I was able to successfully transition out of teaching into a project coordinator position. I will forever be grateful for the guidance and support Cindy provided along the way!”

 

Natalie F.

“Cindy is the cheerleader and straight-talker that you need!

Zoom sessions, availability for quick questions and check-ins via text messaging, resume review, interview prep...she offers it all! That's in addition to her video series and downloadable workbooks which make for excellent "field work" in-between sessions. And at the heart of all of it, you can really tell that Cindy absolutely does BELIEVE in you.

After helping me secure my post-teaching DREAM JOB, she earnestly asked about how that, along with a few other things, will give me the satisfaction and fulfillment, and finances that I have been looking for.

She is sincere, dedicated, and her positivity is infectious. Thank you Cindy!”

Cindy helped me go from a teacher to a Director, in a job that’s so perfect for me, I thought “someone has to be pranking me”.

 

Kari Ann H.

“I started working with Cindy because I was desperate for progress in my job search. I had a difficult year as a classroom teacher and was terrified of the possibility of having to return to that position. In my first call with Cindy, I asked her “Is this even possible? Will anyone hire a self-taught software engineer who used to be a classroom teacher?”Cindy helped me make it possible! I had the skills, but absolutely no way of marketing myself. Specifically, my interview skills were just awful. I didn’t know how to talk about all of the things that I had accomplished in a way that translated into corporate jobs. Cindy helped me rework my resume, my cover letter, my LinkedIn profile, and we practiced my interview skills in every meeting. About a month into working with Cindy, I had signed an offer that was double my teacher salary. Not only that, but I was in several final round interviews and already working at a paid internship! Work with Cindy, she can help you. She helped me change my life!”

Cindy helped me go from classroom teacher to Software Engineer at Lockheed Martin. Now I get raises instead of jeans passes.

 

Linda R.

“Cindy was 100% exactly what I needed! I was in the market for a full-time role after 20 years away, and self-confidence was in short supply. She helped get my resume in shape to reflect my many skills and experience and then tackled the hardest part of the journey for me: interviewing. I hated it, and it showed. We practiced many interviews, and I grew to not only be competent but actually enjoy interviewing! (There are organizations doing really fascinating things out there!) When I accepted the offer for my current role, I had to withdraw from consideration for FOUR others I was interviewing for, then had to decline 2 more interview invitations within 24 hours!

Cindy is direct, kind, encouraging, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and discerning. I highly recommend her coaching for anyone that's been out of the job market for a bit, transitioning teachers, or anyone needing an impactful supporter.”

From Homeschooling Mom to Instructional Designer with multiple job offers!

 

Maggie R.

“Cindy is a badass! She offers the perfect combination of encouragement combined with tough love❤❤. She held me accountable, gave expert advice, and believed in me when I didn’t. I’ll never again have any doubts about investing in myself. Working with Cindy I received 2 job offers! You’re in good hands with Cindy!”

Cindy helped me with the daunting task of finding a job, overcoming imposter syndrome, and making a career pivot. I landed 2 great job offers, and will never have any doubts about investing in myself again.

 

Felicia B.

“Partnering with Cindy Lish is the highlight of my professional career search. It is the most rewarding investment I've made for myself and my career. Her approach was nothing short of transformative; she identified precisely what I needed to showcase my extensive experience and skill set.

While I possessed the qualifications for the roles I pursued, Cindy played a pivotal role in maximizing those experiences and skills, turning them into a winning result. Her support guided me through resume refinement, interview preparation (a LOT of this!) and ultimately securing an outstanding job with a phenomenal company!

Working with Cindy has been truly priceless. Under her expert guidance and insightful coaching, I not only excelled as a candidate during the application and interview process, I'm also a much better employee today. IF you want to invest in yourself, become an outstanding candidate, and take your performance as an employee to the next level, Cindy is who you need.

Her innate ability to know when to "kick me in the backside" and when to "hold my hand" is pure magic! Professionally and personally, I grew significantly while we worked together, and I'm committed to applying all those valuable lessons in all my future endeavors. The "homework" was pivotal, and my notebook is filled with tidbits that I use daily.

The depth of how much Cindy impacted my life, and my career, cannot adequately be expressed with words. I will forever be grateful to Cindy! Thank you so very much. I appreciate you Cindy!”

I GET to work here! How I strategically pivoted after a layoff.

 

Robyn N.

 

“From our first interaction on LinkedIn I knew I wanted to work with Cindy. I loved her style. I was an elementary theatre teacher and knew I wanted to transition into the corporate world but it was all foreign to me.

After working with Cindy I knew where to look for jobs, how to organize my search, what job titles I might be interested in, how to format and write my resume, how to write a personalized cover letter that made me stand out and above all how to answer interview questions for each specific position and with each specific company in mind. We practiced, practiced, practiced and I always felt extremely prepared.

Cindy gives you the tools you need to succeed and her methods work. My submissions were turning into interviews and those interviews were turning into 2nd and 3rd interviews. When I received my job offer I knew I wouldn't have been able to do it without Cindy. I was so excited to tell her the good news and she of course was thrilled. I am so thankful that I found her and that she coached me during this pivot in my career. I will be forever grateful!”

I found a job with flexibility & a great salary!

 

Keesa A.

 

“Cindy possesses everything you need in a good coach! She is knowledgeable, empathetic, responsive, reliable, organized, strategic, patient, direct, and solution-oriented.

I needed a strategic partner to help me navigate through my transition to a new industry. I’m forever grateful for her support as I courageously lean into the life I want without settling.”

Cindy was my strategic partner to land my dream job.

 

Mary Kate R.

 

Cindy has been great and worth every penny!

I feel so much more confident in my resume writing and interviewing abilities because of her coaching. With her help, I was able to land a new job in the nonprofit sector that I'm so excited for! I highly recommend Cindy, she will help you get the results you want!”

From being a stressed out teacher, on pins and needles every day, to a job that she absolutely LOVES!

 

Laura W.

"I am officially a transitioned teacher and I could not have done it without Cindy's help! When I first read about Cindy I saw that she is someone who "holds your hand, but also gives you a kick in the butt." This is so true! Every 45 minute meeting with Cindy is focused on specific goal-- whether it's shifting mindset, writing cover letters, tailoring resumes, etc. Suddenly, I went from casting way too many nets, to truly understanding my goals and applying with purpose and confidence. A few weeks in and I started having success and ended up landing a job at a company that I LOVE and respect. Now, Cindy is helping me prepare for as smooth of a transition as possible by helping me game plan a new pre-work routine so that I can get my daughter to daycare and feel ready for the work day with as little stress as possible. Please consider working with Cindy. She will be there every step of the way-- and you'll see success!"

Cindy helped me find a job outside of teaching, that every day, I say, “pinch me, I can’t believe this is my life!!”

 

Jeni G.

 

“I am so glad I found Cindy Lish during my recent career shift. Preparing for interviews with Cindy means leaving nothing on the table. She makes you work! This is exactly what I needed to get my head out of the clouds and express myself more clearly. As I begin my new director role this week, I know this for sure: Doing the work with Cindy prepared me in ways I could never have done on my own. Thank you, Cindy!!”

Cindy taught me the things I didn't have the humility to hear at first.

 

Jenna T.

Hiring Cindy was one of the best decisions I made during this career shift.

“I was looking for someone to help take me to the finish line and that's exactly what she did! Every time I had a question or needed help on how to phrase an email, she was just a text away. This was especially helpful as I navigated two offers in the same week and had no idea how to handle the negotiations.

I'm happy to say that I've landed my perfect next chapter job and couldn't have done it without Cindy's help and support. I'm grateful for all that I've learned from her along the way.”

I didn’t even know a job like this could exist!

 

Laura B.

 

“Cindy provided the straight talk, push, and honest feedback the helped me revamp resumes and prepare for interviews. Her interview prep sessions included hard-hitting, thought-provoking questions that tackled every bullet point in a job posting.

She's available between sessions, sends motivating texts and emails, and has an entire online library of resources for her clients. If you're stalled out on your search, Cindy is just the jumper cable you've been looking for!”

 

Kathleen J.

"In just a few weeks working with Cindy, I went from no interviews to 2-3 interviews a week and then receiving 2 official offers! She focused each session on what was the most important at that time (interview prep, resumes, etc.). Her interview prep was challenging but rewarding. She worked to make sure your answers were clear and focused. She is straight to point and honest. I highly recommend Cindy as your career coach!"

Cindy helped me transition from teacher to a remote job in Instructional Design that I absolutely love. And I get to have lunch with my daughter every day!

 

Amy D.

“Absolutely thrilled to have worked with Cindy! She was precisely what I needed to transition from the classroom. Cindy helped me redefine my career goals, efficiently locate positions, craft skillful cover letters, prioritize tasks, and create specialized resumes that showcased my skills for each job. With her assistance, I successfully pivoted from over 30 years in music education to the nonprofit and private sectors. She provided invaluable interview preparation, suggestions, and feedback. The improvement in my resumes throughout our collaboration was remarkable.

Cindy truly understood my educational background and helped me see the value of my skills. She taught me how to translate my teaching accomplishments into language relevant to the positions I sought. As a result, I went from no interviews to multiple interviews in a week. Our weekly sessions and the learning modules were incredibly beneficial; I still revisit the modules as they lay a solid foundation for our work together.

When my confidence wavered during this significant career shift, Cindy offered a positive perspective, encouragement, and support to maintain forward momentum. She is knowledgeable, efficient, professional, and helped me achieve tangible results. I only wish I had found Cindy sooner. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone willing to put in the effort—you will be thrilled with the outcomes.”

 

Amy W.

 

“I’m so glad I decided to work with Cindy to give my job search a boost. As a transitioning educator with loads of transferable skills, I didn’t know how to market myself effectively to make the transition.

Cindy is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. During our weekly sessions, she patiently and skillfully taught me how to write targeted resumes and cover letters, as well as doing mock interviews, giving me the confidence and knowledge I needed to succeed. Cindy was only a text or an email away anytime I had a question.”

I recommend hiring Cindy without hesitation. I love my new job and am grateful to Cindy for supporting me on my journey.

 

Gwen H.

“Working with Cindy made a tremendous difference in my job search. Cindy's expert advice gave me the tools I needed to enter the job market. Before working with Cindy I reached out to other Career Coaches but I immediately realized I wasn't being heard. Cindy was the first Career Coach that actually listened to me and understood my concerns and addressed each one. She has a wealth of knowledge and I learned so much from our sessions and her modules. I always knew I could reach out to Cindy with any questions, she's an amazing Career Coach! Working with Cindy means results. Thanks to her coaching my resume was being noticed. I received and accepted a job offer with the company that was my top choice!”

Cindy helped me stay on track and not talk myself out of applying as I successfully transitioned from Classroom Assistant to Corporate.

 

Jennifer T.

“With over 15 years of experience from corporate to teaching and back to corporate, my resume was all over the place.

Cindy really taught me how to showcase my skills and talents in a way that employers are looking for. She is really good at interview coaching as well as refining a resume and cover letter that make it to the “yes” pile.

Before working with Cindy, I was so discouraged by the amount of rejections I had received. After a few months of her training, coaching, and encouragement, I finally landed the job I was looking for. I highly recommend Cindy’s program. She really does help job seekers get results!”

How I marketed myself to land an amazing job, in a world when you can no longer say, “I just do whatever needs to be done, really well.”

 

Vesna M.

 

“Cindy hold my hand while I was struggling to land a new job. I was getting interviews, but I felt my interview skills were lacking. Her mock interviews helped me in identifying the areas in which I needed to improve, and I soon received a job offer. She helped me fine-tune my resume and cover letter to match the job I wanted and she really believed in me. She is definitely someone you want in your corner, and I would highly recommend her as a career coach.”

The 3 winning combinations to landing a job after a layoff!

 

Samantha G.

 

“Hiring Cindy was one of the wisest choices I made when entrenched in my job search. I had been pursuing opportunities for months and was very anxious and discouraged by the time I connected with Cindy. She helped me zoom out and rethink my strategy. She helped me become calmer, focused, and less frantic. She gave me hope and reignited my belief in myself and my future success. Cindy made it clear she believed I could do it, and felt like the absolute definition of a coach: someone to pump you up and also give you real talk. Her honesty is wonderful, her suggestions made so much sense and were incredibly helpful. Then once I landed my job, her suggestions for prep adopting this new role to my life were incredibly kind, while also being thoughtful and personally tailored to my family. I deeply appreciate Cindy Lish, and I cannot recommend her enough. She is a special human.”

 

Kelly S.

“After being a SAHM for 5 years, I was lacking confidence and direction on how to re-enter the workforce. I had up-skilled over the past 5 years and sought out help from other coaches, but nothing compared to Cindy’s methods and direction.

Cindy is an amazing coach to work with, she helped me find my confidence again; she gave me direction and the tools needed to re-enter the job market.

If you are on the fence about investing in yourself or working with a coach; I highly recommend reaching out to Cindy and see how she can help you obtain your employment goals.”

I’m more confident, happy, and feel appreciated for the work I’m doing!

 

Lorraine S.

“Having been a stay at home mom for almost 20 years, I was scared and hesitant to get back into the work force, to say the least, but working with Cindy gave me the confidence and “energy” to get back out there. Cindy was able to pull all my varied jobs and experiences together and help me target the jobs I wanted. Cindy is amazing at helping you pull together the skills you have and the things you have done.

She made me see that what I had thought was merely a bunch of scattered experiences actually fit together nicely and were pointing me in a direction that I hadn’t been able to previously realize. When once I thought I would never even get an interview, only 2 months after working with Cindy I not only got a job interview but I also got the job that was a perfect fit for me! “

 

Tanya T.

"Cindy is a miracle worker; Because of COVID-19, I was laid off after 20 plus years. I had no idea how to write a resume or how to interview. I hired a professional resume writer who guaranteed I would get interviews. I applied and applied but no interviews then I started working with Cindy. On our first meeting, she worked with me on writing the perfect resume and showed me how to change my resume to fit each position I applied for, and it worked. I had my first interview after our first meeting. Along with the modules and Cindy’s interview coaching, I received two job offers in the same week. I could not have gotten the job if it were not for Cindy’s program; she is a GOD-SEND! Worth every penny! "

Cindy helped me to go from happily satisfied and fulfilled in my career, to losing my job during the pandemic, to making a career pivot and landing at a storybook perfect ending. At over 40 years old.

 

Katie M.

“Cindy is the BEST! All my life, for whatever reason, I’ve had intense anxiety whenever I would attempt to look for a job. Interviews, resumes, putting myself out there- it all just paralyzed me with fear. Deep down I just didn’t believe I could have what I wanted. Therefore, I avoided going after what I wanted for years and years. This resulted in always going for jobs that were easy to get, but also jobs that weren’t “me” and a lot of times jobs I actually hated. Being a stay-at-home mom for a number of years just magnified my fears and doubts a million times over.

Enter Cindy Lish. She just did not seem fazed at all when I confessed my fears to her. I knew I wanted to conquer this fear once and for all, and just talking to Cindy one time was all I needed to know she would be able to help me. She is always so calm, cool and collected. She helped me write my resume from scratch because I had NEVER written one before! Every session wit”h Cindy, she would help me see “everything I have done and the value in it all. With Cindy’s help, I began to see myself as someone with so much to offer. Cindy is extremely kind, and yes- she also did push me into action to apply for the jobs I wanted. She just somehow made it seem like the next logical step, no big deal, and not some huge frightening ordeal.

We did mock interviews together, she helped me create my LinkedIn profile (also something I’d never done) and through that I was able to apply for a job I really wanted. The interviews went really well! And I got the job!! And I realized, I had faced my fears! And good things came out of it! This is HUGE for me. hank you, Cindy, for guiding me every step of the way. Thank you for being an oasis of calm whenever I needed it. If you’re reading this and you’re on the fence about working with Cindy, don’t be. She WILL get you results! She is one of those rare people who just strolls in so non-chalantly, and your life is changed forever- and for the better. Thank you, Cindy!”

Cindy helped me go from a struggling single mom to a happy working mother, face my fears, and find a path and dream I love.

 

Sarah M.

 

“Cindy is an invaluable asset to women who want to rejoin the workforce or make a career change.

Cindy offers the perfect combination of support and straight talk. With her help, I got 2 great job offers in just under 1 month. She gave me honest feedback as I weighed my options and helped me make the best decision for myself and my career.”

 

Janice B.

 

“Cindy's program is AMAZING! Like WOW! With some other coaches, I don't know, you are sitting there and you have to try to lead them through what you need.

With Cindy's program, EVERYTHING is there! Your resume, your interviewing.... EVERYTHING IS THERE!

I've had coaches before, and it's like, 'that's why I'm hiring you, because I don't know. I need you to help me, lead me, I don't know where I'm going from here.' Cindy's program is AMAZING! I'm really enjoying it! It's getting me out of the fear that's holding me back, and I really appreciate that.”

 

Grace L.

 

“I'd like to thank Cindy Lish for the motivation, feedback, and extensive knowledge. After several months of flailing on my own, it took me only a couple of months working with Cindy to get a dream job and even negotiate a 13% pay increase!

Because of her, I put together a highly tailored resume and a compelling cover letter that got me the interview. Then with her coaching and interview practice, I aced the interview to get the job.”

 

Katharine P.

 

“My 3rd interview (at the same company) couldn’t have gone any better! She was impressed with what I knew about the company, my experience, and said they’re looking for someone of my caliber. Couldn’t believe I was hearing that word after being a SAHM!

So happy to be back in the game! She said she’s giving me a 2 thumbs up. Next step is interview with the North American Vice President.

I couldn’t have gotten this far without you, Cindy! I am so grateful for all your help and support. We’re almost there!”

“After being laid off and suffering with depression, Cindy Lish helped me get back on my feet again. I was able to land on two job offers after a month and a half of coaching. Cindy Lish modules and resume coaching helped me achieve my goals.

With her guidance it made me believe my true potential and gave me the confidence to ace that interview. She has an amazing coaching program and I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling in finding a job.”

 

Yanida M.

 

“My mojo was gone. I came across your ad and listened to your webinar and it resonated enough with me to contact you for that first session. At first, I thought maybe it wouldn't work for me. But the 1:1 coaching really does help! It's not just the hand holding, but having someone there as your champion, along the way, letting you know, hey, you can still do this, YOU CAN DO THIS!

I remember not being able to speak to any specific examples of my work when we first started. I just wasn't there. You got me to the point that I can look at a job and say 'I'm a good fit for that. I couldn't do that before.' My confidence is way up. I'm so much more ready. Working with you, learning how to work the resume, learning to dedicate time to apply, learning to look for specific positions, learning what to look for, you provided all of that.

I'm really excited because I know whether it's this job or another, I know I will be getting a job in the short term. I know that for sure.”

 

Elvira T.

“When I first met Cindy, I had a strong desire to return to the workforce but was plagued with self-doubt and anxiety about my ability to be successful in the workplace. Cindy quickly recognized my challenges and found a perfect way to help me reshape my mindset, motivate me and instill a sense of focus. I did not see my past and current accomplishments as part of my persona and could not effectively exemplify my experiences.

Step by step, Cindy helped me “connect the dots”. She is an absolute pleasure to work with! I appreciate her straightforward, no-nonsense approach, her personal and professional integrity, perspective, and her keen ability to identify what holds her clients back.

Throughout the coaching experience, I made a lot of discoveries that enriched my life. I was hired for the right position at exactly the right time and could not be happier! Cindy is a brilliant career coach, and it has been an absolute privilege working with her!”

Cindy helped me return to the workforce. It feels very empowering. I am happier and it has been the highlight of my year.

 

Amy S.

 

“I worked with Cindy because I was starting to get some interviews and I just couldn’t seem to get past the first round. Cindy worked with me to calm my anxiety and provided mock interviews where she would make suggestions on how to improve the answers I gave.

I became more and more confident and I started to get to the final rounds of interviews. I am proud to say that I am now a fully transitioned teacher and Cindy played a huge part in getting me there!”

 

Alisha G.

“I will forever be grateful for Cindy! Before working with her I refused to look at jobs or even update my resume. Cindy gave me the confidence I needed and reminded me of my potential. She will give you the push you need to get back out there along with the guidance in every step of the interviewing and hiring process. In just a few short weeks I landed the job I had been dreaming of.

I will be able to walk into that new job tomorrow with my head held high because of Cindy. She has been there every step of the way and cheering me on. Thank you, Cindy, for making me realize my potential and that I can do amazing things! "

 

Katherine M.

 

“Working with Cindy is the best 45 minutes that I spend in my whole week. Cindy knows exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to say it.

She is extremely professional and offers fantastic advice. I've grown professionally more in this short period of time than I have in the past 7 years.

If I could work with Cindy once a week for the rest of my life, I would.”

 

Anne Q.

“Very simply, I could not have done it without Cindy!

Cindy was a one-stop shop for everything I needed to go back to work after 14 years home with my family - from learning how to customize my resume for every job, to building a strong LinkedIn profile, to intense interview prep! 

Cindy kept the process from getting too overwhelming for me while being my biggest cheerleader and giving gentle pushes along the way when I got discouraged.

I start my new job on Monday and it's right where I left off!

I am so glad I made this investment in myself!”

 

Jeannine J.

“I couldn’t have done it without you. I felt overwhelmed with so many directions and then I just got paralyzed. Your modules, coaching and expertise really helped me to know the next steps to take.

Your changes on my resume and cover letter are amazing! Clearly, I can see why employers would look at my resume in the past and be confused. My old resume never highlighted what they were looking for the way it does now with what you are teaching me to do.

My interview went really well! I am moving forward to the next step!  I appreciate all your time, expertise, continued support, and amazing coaching.

You are amazing. Your program is amazing.”

 

Alicia B.

 

I got the job! You were right (of course you were right!) The position is far better than I hoped for and the pay is fantastic - twice what I expected! I AM SO EXCITED!

Thank you so very much for your help and guidance. You helped me get out of my slump and gave me courage and confidence.

And since I accepted the job, I’ve had to fend off other companies asking for interviews - three interview offers in the last three days alone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”

 

Aline D.

 

"Working with Cindy has been amazing. Her videos and coaching are life changing! Her awesome coaching and encouraging words really helped to build my confidence for the upcoming interviews. She has definitely given me more confidence and allowed me (and my children) to see myself in a different light. More accomplished.

Cindy boosted my confidence as I go through 2nd rounds of interviews. It's been amazing, really amazing. Life Changing. Cindy, I cannot express how much your help has meant to me. It is like I’ve climbed so many professional levels since I met you- AND, I got the job!"

 

Nora V.

“Cindy's passion and dedication to her business and your success are remarkable!

Cindy's empowering career system was a blessing and a career game changer for me. Her step-by-step system allowed me to redefine my career goals and job-seeking skills to match current industry standards.

She has the right-size approach to coaching and encouragement to ensure you land the best job! What I appreciated the most from Cindy was that I could count on her in times of uncertainty to help me believe the impossible was possible. Thank you, Cindy, for helping me land my dream job!

Plug into her system and be ready to hit your career jackpot.

 

Pooja A.

 

“What attracted me to Cindy was that she was a fellow SAHM and  understood the stigma attached to being a SAHM. What made me sign on with Cindy was her practical, logical approach to finding a job.

She will give you the confidence you need to surmount this obstacle. She is very detail-oriented and takes the time to get to know her clients. Her manner is always professional and she dresses for success. She is a good-hearted person with great family values and her main objective is to lift you and help you to achieve your goals.

I was trying to make a pivot in my career. I always thought I had good interview skills... Then I found Cindy. She taught me interviewing tactics that really sent me to the top of the candidate list.

I couldn't believe that it made a HUGE difference. After the interview was over, I knew I had done very well. They ultimately made me an offer!”

 

Meritxell R.

 "I knew that searching for a job during the COVID-19 crisis was not the best moment, but Cindy made me realize anytime is a perfect time, that you need to be in the right place at the right moment, and then work your best to be the chosen one.

Cindy taught me how to go from being one more candidate to being on the top of the list of the candidates. 

Cindy taught me how to understand what the employer is asking for, their needs, and demonstrate to them that I am the right candidate with the experience and background they needed for the position. In summary: “market myself”.
 
I had been looking for a job in my area on my own and hadn’t succeeded. I thought I knew a lot about the hiring market, but there’s a lot I didn’t know. The hiring market has changed a lot.

Cindy helped me fine-tune my resume and cover letter, find the path I wanted to follow and believe in myself. She supported me during the search, hiring process and interviews I had during this time.
 
I landed in the job I wanted and had dreamed for in less than 3 months! Cindy was the light in the tunnel of darkness I was in!
 
Being able to resume my career has been the best decision I have taken in years."

 

Connie W.

 

"Cindy is phenomenal! She has not only encouraged me, she has shifted my whole attitude towards what I can bring to the table. She gave me insight into what I am capable of and taught me how to write my resume and cover letter to showcase my value.

I landed a great job in just 8 weeks. My experience with Cindy has been wonderful. I highly recommend her. You are worth it."

 
 

Shelley A.

“Cindy really helped me. From a clean, organized and professional resume to practicing difficult interview questions, it was all the right stuff.

The business owner and hiring manager at this current job actually quoted accomplishments from my resume that I would not have included had Cindy not recommended it. In my field, I thought my title was self-explanatory!

They drilled me at the interview, but I was confident and well prepared!

When they offered me the position, they gave me more money than was discussed at the interview!”

 

Jane F.

“I got the job! Prior to meeting Cindy, I was seeking opportunities to pivot my career and had worked with 3 different resume writers without getting any interviews. During my first  session with Cindy, I realized why my resume was screaming the exact job I am currently employed in, but not the direction I wanted to go.

Working with Cindy taught me how to look at my resume and determine what information has to stay, and what has to go. She showed me how to tailor my resume to match the job I wanted. She also highlighted that I already had the experience through my work and volunteer history. It feels good seeing that I've already done that type of work, but now I'm learning how to format my resume  to  show that I'm a good candidate for the job.  

She empowered me to use a cover letter to tell a story, my story, my brand. I now know what I have done and realize my strengths. Cindy sends a weekly text, encouraging me to pursue my goals and be proud of my accomplishments.

I went from 0 interviews to 2 job offers. Cindy is a Miracle Worker in my books!”

 

Cindy T.

“Working with Cindy was the BEST INVESTMENT I have ever made in myself. She was such a pleasure to work with and guided me every step of the way with compassion, patience, and just the perfect amount of push to ensure my successful outcome.

Cindy taught me to look at myself and the job market with renewed perspective and to value my skills and recognize my worth.

I have a resume and cover letter that I am really proud of. I am applying for jobs and getting interviews and offers, something I never thought was ever going to be possible after 24 years raising my family.

IT FEELS INCREDIBLY AMAZING.”

Alexa S.

 

“Cindy helped me immensely to navigate my journey towards transitioning careers. She helped me figure out how to effectively market myself and gave me the tools I needed to talk about myself and grow my confidence. As promised, she will hold your hand AND kick you in the butt!”

Happily ever after story from “just an art teacher” to Corporate Growth and Development Consultant!

 

Padmaja S.

 

"Cindy is so thorough. Before working with Cindy, I was lacking in confidence. Even when we first started, I was thinking, 'what am I going to do? How am I going to write this?' But now I know how.

Now, I am totally confident that I can make a custom resume and cover letter for every application. Cindy gave me such a detailed and thorough review of resumes, cover letters, interviewing and LinkedIn.

Cindy has given me all the tools and ammunition, and confidence."

 

Jean Z.

 

“Cindy helped my true experience and genuine self shine through on documents. She greatly improved my confidence and belief in myself. She was thorough and truthful with feedback while still being kind!

She was prompt and available. Highly recommended for anyone with an important career goal!”

 

Carrie T.

"Something woke up in me. Motherhood is so easy to lose yourself. We’ve moved so many times and I’ve had to reinvent myself with every one of the moves. I kind of forgotten who I was in this whole process of motherhood and marriage and kids.

But working with Cindy, and seeing everything I’ve done, on paper, and talking about it, and realizing that the Superintendent thinks I’m brilliant. Thank you, Cindy. I appreciate the reminder that I’m a very strong capable person on my own.

I have more confidence in myself, and I appreciate Cindy’s support in helping me find that. Yes, I am mom of these wonderful kids I’m proud to call my own, but I have to stand on my own two feet and be my own person too.

And I’m excited to see what the future holds for me. There’s a new chapter about to start."

Cindy gave me the huge confidence boost to successfully return to the workforce and find myself. Plus a secret weapon I rock every day.

 
 

Melissa D.

 

"Before Cindy, I was applying to every job listing and sending the same exact resume without any results. Now I am receiving multiple interviews at multiple companies. Cindy has made a world of difference by showing me how to craft and tailor a resume and cover letter to specific to each job. Because they are ALL different.

Not to mention the confidence I have now! I could go on and on. I couldn't have done this without Cindy!! It has been life changing!!!"

 

Elexa R.

“When I decided I wasn’t going back to teaching for the 2022-2023 school year, I had no idea how to find a new job. I was applying and applying and hearing absolutely nothing. Not a single interview. I figured because I was a “only” teacher before, I was pretty limited in what I could do, so I focused all my job hunting energy on looking for a corporate trainer position. It was really depressing and by the time I contacted Cindy, I was a mess. She told me that I was qualified for so much more. How does Cindy know this? I thought. Ladies, we are teachers and we kick serious butt in the classroom. Are you a project manager? Yes you are! Your entire school year is a giant project with hundreds of moving parts and tasks. Are you a sales rep? Yes you are! You convince dozens of children to learn and grow despite obstacles, widely varying personalities and administrative pressure. We are so capable and Cindy helped me see that.

Currently, I am working in a sales job that I absolutely love. I opened a Teachers Pay Teachers shop to sell science worksheets. Cindy has encouraged me every step of the way giving me support and ideas on both sales techniques for my job and marketing foundations so I can start sharing my shop with teachers who need quality resources. I have no idea where I would be right now without Cindy instilling confidence and hope in me. I’m happy again and the only person who might be more excited about than I am is Cindy.”

 
 
 

Avery W.

"Cindy taught me how to write my resume and show my accomplishments in ways that I never would have thought to do. Cindy showed me how to completely change how my resume looks. I would say, 'well I just managed 5 people'. And Cindy would say, 'that's a big deal. Let's write about you managing a team of 5 people.' My resume not only looks differently, but helps me to talk about what I did differently. Things that I used to think were no big deal, that were easy for me, Cindy taught me, psychologically, to be proud of what I have done.

I feel so much better after being 'forced' to work on my resume and being 'forced' to apply for that kind of job. That was huge for me!"

 

“Cindy is an incredible job readiness coach whose passion for what she does is unquestionable. It is crystal clear that she truly cares about the women she coaches. Her enthusiasm never diminishes and she always offers 110%. She is personable, results oriented, driven, and a natural relationship builder.”

– michele m. - Staffing & Recruitment Professional


"I attended many webinars, participated in challenges and watched countless videos by other career coaches. Cindy is by far the best! She gives practical advice, encouragement, and yes, a little kick in the butt to get us moving. I have always and will always recommend Cindy to others who need to reenter the workforce. I’m back at work!"

-susan d.


Cindy is an amazing partner through an intimidating process. She encourages you, challenges you and pushes you to reach your goals. She reminds you of your talents and is truly your advocate. Her years of experience and her keep ability to help you craft a story for your resume, written with your own experience and words is extremely valuable. I returned to the workforce, made a pivot in my career, and landed an amazing offer. Thank you, Cindy!”

–amanda m.


Cindy's ability to decipher one's skills is amazing. Her hands-on experience and expert knowledge on the resume and interview in the job market is tremendously insightful. 

 Cindy has given me so much knowledge and significantly boosted my confidence. I am incredibly grateful to be working with Cindy.”

– Gina k.

“Cindy is knowledgeable in her field, insightful and articulate. She is straight forward and will say it like it is, she is always composed and she is a thorough professional. If you decide to work with Cindy, you will get a champion who will show you the mirror, who will help you realize your true potential and who will make you put one foot in front of the other to keep marching towards your professional goals. For me, the biggest benefit of working with Cindy was a mindset shift from "Can I do it?" to "I can do it!". I would like to sincerely thank Cindy for helping me get multiple job offers in a span of 5 months and I would recommend Cindy to anyone who is looking to get back full time into professional life.”

- gargi k.


“The program with Cindy was LIFE CHANGING! She understood my journey and held my hand to successfully take the path of employment and get back to the workforce after 13 years as a Stay at Home Mother.

She believed in me. Making me believe in myself. I am forever grateful. In fact, at the interview, I was offered a higher position than the one I originally interviewed for.”

– Juana V.


“Cindy helped me to have a greatly improved resume and cover letter. Cindy also instilled in me greater confidence in myself as a highly capable professional.

Her thoughtful approach addresses both the head and the heart of the job seeker, highlighting one's capabilities and instilling confidence in one's competence. She is the only person who taught me how to match my resume to the job posting and to GO BIG. With Cindy’s help, I landed my dream job where they recognize my value. Cindy is a wonderful coach.”

– Anna C.

"I write this feedback with the deepest gratitude! Cindy has changed my life to say the least!

She has helped me see my potential that others have failed to do for me. It was not that they didn't say the same things as she did but it's her delivery that mattered and penetrated my mind in the most efficient way.

I had been on multiple interviews with multiple companies. I got rejection letters after another. I knew I needed help and decided to work with Cindy to find solutions to what I was lacking.

She proved herself as a valuable asset from day 1! I was over anxious and over needy but she was patient and helped me by being there for me.

She texted a reply to every text with questions or thoughts I sent to her. She knew I was not her usual clientele but yet found a way to make a difference for me and my family!

My major issue was my lack of confidence, not the lack of knowledge. She caught on to it during my discovery call with her. I can say with pride that my interactions with her have propelled me in the right energy, the right attitude and the right direction.

I got not one but 2 job offers! She helped me by affirming my choice between them as well. She helped and coached on how to exit my previous employer and how much and what to disclose to my current one as well.

All I can say is that… she is worth the investment.. you WILL NOT regret it!

I wish I could give her a physical hug and thank her in person but this is my rendition of a virtual thank you Cindy! I will forever never forget you! ️"
