Testimonials:
“I continued to follow the process and do everything Luke asked. I read all the stuff, made the resume and LinkedIn changes, tried to be as consistent as I could with the calls (I travel a lot so it’s not always possible). Fast forward to this week (end of December). I’ve signed an offer with a base that is about $40,000 greater than my old base and with the bonus is more than double my previous base + bonus. UNREAL. Not just that, the team is very eager to have me and I feel like I have a lot of leverage in this new position. The position was found through Luke’s network of recruiters. One of the things that I found very helpful was going through interview questions section Luke’s website. I answered almost all those questions even though it was quite a bit. Then we did a mock interview just before my final interview. After my final interview with the company, they were supposed to fly me out for one more on-site interview/ site visit. The interview went so well that they decided to skip it completely and make an offer just so they don’t lose me!!! I rejected their first offer even though it was already generous and they came back with a better offer. Anyways, I did what Luke told me to do and followed the website step by step.” – Tim O.
“His coaching for my interview helped me build confidence to convey how my experience and skill set made me the best-suited candidate for the role. His perspective as a hiring manager was eye-opening. After we did the mock interview I felt so relieved to know I was on the right track to impress my future employer, and I was thankful for my coach’s advice. My interview went incredibly well, and shortly after I received a job offer. My coach’s help didn’t end there, he coached me on how to follow through with the resignation process and the transition to my new role. Something else of great value in this program is the opportunity to network with other professionals and hear about their successes and struggles to know that you are not alone.” – Mayhell
“There are a lot of great things to say about my coach! He has been a great mentor for me. He is an active listener – carefully listens to your challenges and goals, then navigates you to reach there. Furthermore, I have found him more than a mentor. We’ve become friends with whom I can talk anything at any time. I’ve seen him picking up my call when he was with his family for a vacation. I asked him, why do you do this and how do you even manage all of that? He said it is what he enjoys doing and he likes to see others being successful. It is what he cares about. I can assure you that he cares about his mentees from his heart. My coach was an excellent help in optimizing my resume, LinkedIn, and Job Board profiles based on my career focus. I’ve gained a lot more visibility and reach to the recruiters than before. His interview preparation materials are top-notch; they are very similar to real-world scenarios. Also, before any of my interviews, my coach would check the job description, perform his homework, and set up one-to-one practice interview(s). He would provide his feedback for improvements and the practice interviews would go on until you feel confident. This is a terrific idea and it’s immensely effective! I feel very confident and spontaneous with the interviewers now.” – Faisal
“I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity of working with Luke during a transformative time in my career. Throughout our sessions, he continuously went above and beyond what I expected. I left each session feeling very confident about the decisions I was considering, and he gave me the tools to have the best possible chance at succeeding. I already have, and will continue to, recommend Luke to close friends and colleagues in need of a top-tier career counselor and coach.” – Rishabh
“My coach really helped me with complete optimization of my resume and LinkedIn profile so that I could transition into a software engineer role. He was able to quickly see that a software engineering role was ideal given my background and overall experience. We also discussed in detail my current and previous experience which helped shape my resume and being able to talk about the impact of all of the projects I was involved in. Also, we conducted multiple mock interviews, which helped me with the behavioral interviews that I had with companies across many industries. His advice regarding how to approach job salary negotiation, resigning amicably from my employer, and preparing for next steps regarding expectations for my new role was very impactful in my journey to transition to software engineering! Not only I was able to switch from mechanical engineering to software engineering, but I was also able to command nearly double my total compensation with relocation to Texas!” – Rozerrio (accepted a 94% raise + relocation stipend)
“Luke helped me with optimizing my resume, online career profiles, job application strategy, and interview prep to make me marketable both based on my work experience and my target career interests, to convey what recruiters and companies are looking for in top candidates. Luke made himself regularly available and was a big motivator towards stepping out and taking this next step in my career. After working through a number of opportunities, I was able to accept a job with a 50% raise in a new company in my target industry.” – Matt
“I was struggling to find a coach at my job when Jen reached out to me about being a coach in the Career and Leadership Accelerator program. I looked into the program and saw the impact it had on others. I decided to sign up and work with Jen who ended up being a great sounding board. She helped me understand more about the engineering industry and encouraged me to explore and entertain any interests I had in other positions. The modules on their website helped guide me through differences exercises and Jen provided the feedback I needed to confirm I was on track to succeed. My favorite part about our interactions was the ability to strategize with Jen about how I should approach interactions or conversations. In the end, I was able to negotiate a very significant pay raise along with a promotion and my first supervisory position. I highly recommend Jen to any female engineer interested in improving or accelerating their career trajectory.” – Helen

“Luke helped me at all stages of my job search from resume preparation to networking with recruiters, interview process, salary negotiation guidance and even first days in the new role. I appreciated Luke’s insight in all aspects of job search and specifically with the interviews. Interviews for managerial/director level roles focus quite a bit on leadership and I felt better prepared for real interviews after practicing mock sessions with him. Even though my journey to find a new role took some time, Luke didn’t give up and continued to provide his support until I found the right role.” – Umesh
“Luke’s career accelerator program helped me specifically in preparing for the interviews which gave me a lot of confidence to appear for the job interview. His insights and evaluation were particularly helpful in minimizing the errors during the interview. Luke is very flexible in terms of accommodating last minute requests and managing schedules.

I highly recommend this program to everyone who wants to make a lucrative career but does not have adequate resources or guidance”. – Prashant, (who accepted a 50% raise with a new company who also sponsored his green card)
“I signed up for the Career Accelerator Program because I wanted to strengthen my leadership skills and land my next opportunity. My coach helped me focus on what I wanted to accomplish, empowered me to take control of my career, and begin the journey to achieve my goals. The leadership course is broken down into bite-sized segments that were easy to manage. I learned how to put my best foot forward in both my job and job search. This course was an investment in myself and an opportunity to get me closer to my future goals. Not only did I receive a 19% raise in compensation by moving to my new role, but I made some great connections! If you’re having doubts about signing up, think about your future and commit yourself to your goals. My only regret is that I didn’t find out about the Career Accelerator Program sooner!” – Kiana
“The Career Accelerator has given me a huge boost in my job search. Since beginning the program I’ve received dozens of responses and emails from recruiters after receiving almost none before the program. The bi-weekly calls have allowed me to navigate through my job search with my coach’s professional expertise helping in all aspects of the process. I highly recommend this program to any engineer looking to progress in their career or to transition to another one.” – James

“My coach really helped me with the job offer negotiation process and convinced me that employers can go above and beyond for the right candidate. I was really interested in a role but the initial base salary that was offered was lower than my expectations. Through my coach’s advice, I was able to enthusiastically interview through the whole process and save the compensation conversation for the very end. The employer increased their offer by over 20%! I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a new job or to advance in their career!” – Kumail B.

My coach enjoys helping others and really wants to help the people he is working with. He periodically checks in on me asking if I had questions, how I am doing, and quickly responding to my emails. The support and encouragement I have received from my coach during my job search has been very much appreciated and extremely useful.” – Jenna A.
“My coach is very helpful with my recent career boost. He helped along from the job searching to resume polishing to interview preparation.

The guidance helped me build confidence and skills that allowed me to steer my career in the right direction.” – Kim L.
