Testimonials

“Jess radiates positive energy when matching people with careers that suit their skills, passions, and needs. And that was exactly what I needed. I had all kinds of inhibitions about "the real world" of full-contact capitalism. Jess helped me navigate those feelings and find a job that's right for my temperament, right for my skills, and right for my wallet in a job market that is highly competitive.”

"Jess you are a real gem! In one hour, you helped me translate my diverse skills and broad experience into a compelling presentation that positions me as a "solution provider" to consulting clients and potential employers. Thanks so much."

“When I first met Jess Dods, I was filled with self-doubt: would I ever find the kind of job I needed, deserved, with benefits and challenges? Jess taught me not only an effective job search plan, but how to do it- one step at a time. When I got discouraged and wanted to quit- he didn’t. While encouraging me, he kept pushing me to do the next step, and I did land a fabulous job.

Perhaps I would have eventually found a job on my own, but with Jess I was primed, prepared and positive. The whole job search process was made much more meaningful, fun and very informative by Jess’ excellent business knowledge, his own life process and depth of caring he showed me throughout our work together.”
Karen

“Sometimes, it's just a sentimental ear to one's situation that gets you unstuck. But with Jess, he turned the mirror back on me, to help me realize what I am, my strengths and weaknesses, and how to use them to find satisfaction. He's been there, so he knows business. And since he's been there, he knows how to encourage you to think. Simply invaluable…and career-saving."

“The MBTI increased my self-awareness by leaps and bounds, and led to dramatic improvements in relationships in my current job. It has helped me understand what happens to me during periods of stress, and has given me tools to better handle these situations. It has also propelled me to begin exploring how to develop a niche within my chosen profession and how to better align my values, interaction style and the ways that I process information."
Karen

“I was in a mediocre position frustrated with underachieving in what I believed was a "defined" career. This frustration and belief I could do better led me by referral to Jess Dods. I am a cynic by nature but in no time at all was incredibly grateful for the advice given with tremendous spirit, insight, focus and empathy. He has enabled me to go forward with purpose and commitment, structuring a career which complements my personal objectives while endorsing my own beliefs…with his practical knowledge and insight I have gained invaluable experience”.

"Jess has a soothing and methodical way of uncovering one's true personal and career callings. Jess involves you in your own self discovery. Among many techniques he uses, Jess carefully and patiently walks one through the various outcomes of the many temperament and career skills tests via clear and individually tailored follow-up questions and explanations of test results, which have immediate real world applications for the individual."
John

“Working with Jess was certainly the “Right Choice” for me. With his guidance, I became aware of my personality preferences and learned to work with them, not against them. For the first time in my life I am being true to myself and I feel successful. And I’ve only just begun.”
