Client Testimonials
I got the job!!!!
I could not have done this without you, Sara. You have been a rock (a very savvy one). You have no idea how much I appreciate the time you spent and the advice you gave me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
- Senior Operations Director of Electrical Manufacturing firm
Thank you so much Sara- I really can not say enough about your level of detail and willingness to take the time, and "get it right". You went above and beyond. It is rare to see someone go the extra mile (and then some). I am so happy that <friend's name> mentioned your name. Comprehensive is another quality that comes to mind...I am very appreciative. If you ever need a referral, or If I can help you in any way, happy to - say the word.
-CEO and founder of 2 companies that were sold
"Sara, The interns have raved about yesterday. Specifically the things they highlighted (so far):
---Jules Pieri, CEO and Co-founder of The Grommet (following a career development staff workshop given by NorthBridge Career Partners)
"Sara, I have great news... I've landed a position!!!.. It is the perfect job for me....I'm thrilled, relieved and totally ecstatic and also grateful. I want to thank you for your help, encouragement and guidance. Had I not had such a good coach I wouldn't have landed a position so quickly and felt so confident in the interview process. I felt like all the pieces were in place and then it all worked out. Thank you again."
---Director of a major Boston hospital
"I began my work with Sara after having done an exhaustive and long-term job search on my own. In writing this unsolicited endorsement I would mainly like to point out that Sara put herself in the "Thick of Things”. Long term unemployment is a tough nut to crack and as far as I am concerned, she cracked it! She made me focus on the pipeline, not the results. Just get the next interview. Keep track of what happened and more importantly what is next.. Never have the ball in your court. She helped me get and keep momentum and a positive attitude. She held me accountable to Network, Network, Network. I was out of work for a little over a year and after working with Sara for 3 months I had multiple offers."
---Senior level financial client (MBA), currently a senior manager in the investment management and investment services industry
"Sara gave me both confidence and a concrete action plan to help me develop as an author. For example, she pushed me to think of blogging, which I'd long resisted doing, not as a personal vanity project but as an "electronic filing cabinet" to house my published work. As Sara predicted, the enforced practice of daily writing increased my writing speed, skill, and output, thus positioning me to take on bigger assignments. This past summer, I secured a major book contract from one of the country's most prestigious publishing houses. I'd always thought of myself as someone who dabbled in writing as a side interest to my "real" career in education. Sara taught me how to change my professional priorities, and I have the book advance and exciting new career to show for it. "
--Ivy League University educator and journalist
Sara Pacelle was instrumental in helping our daughter seek the job she wanted after graduating from college. Although our daughter attended a highly competitive college and thrived academically as a Neuroscience Pre-med major, networking, resume writing & launching a job search was not part of her education. When she realized she was going to take an alternative career track from many in her department, she had difficulty figuring out how to make it happen. Sara gave her the tools to make the enormous leap from college to the beginning of a career, the first step being a bit off the usual neuroscience path. Not only did she receive multiple offers, she also learned the value of creating a network and how to do it. She is learning so much in her first job but, more importantly, she continues to learn from others in the field of mental health by networking. Her understanding of how, why and where to network came directly from her work with Sara!
--Parent of a recent college graduate
"Sara was instrumental in helping my college-aged daughter find a summer job in a Boston PR firm. Sara helped my daughter to focus on what she wanted to do, showed her how to find targeted companies through research and networking, coached her for interviews, and generally infused her with confidence….all in a handful of long distance telephone calls. Sara's involvement kick-started my daughter's job search and gave her the confidence to go for her dream job….and she got it!"
---Parent of a college student
"Sara, Last night <my son>was offered the job at <Asset Management firm>!! He told me about the other students who interviewed with him (e.g., Vanderbilt, Berkeley, Duke). THANK YOU for your amazing help. Please use me as a reference for your interested families."
---Parent of a college student
"I just wanted to give you an update - I accepted an offer for a summer internship at an investment fund in New York. Thanks again for all your help with my resume and the referral, I really appreciate it! I'm definitely happy to have my summer all set up!"
--College student, junior economics major preparing for Superday interviews and received offer
"Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help and in retrospect, I know for a fact that this internship would not have been possible with out your tutoring. The skills that I learned in our mock interview sessions were essential when interviewing at <Wall Street firm>."
--College finance student, who received summer internship offer from Wall Street firm
"Sara is terrific! She worked with my niece and researched, recommended and helped her network into a volunteer assignment that helped build her resume and credentials for her applications to medical school. According to one medical school admissions interviewer, it was the essay she wrote about that volunteer experience that made her stand out from the crowd. My niece is now in her second year of medical school. Thank you Sara."
--Aunt of a medical school applicant
"I have good news! I received an offer from <a multinational utility company> for the Analyst job. As of yesterday, I completed all of the pre-hire checks and will be starting November 3rd. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. I'm very excited about this new opportunity."
-Mid-level financial professional who launched a strategic career move
"Sara is an extremely insightful coach who helped me in three significant ways:
---Career re-entry 50 year old client
"Thank you once again Sara for all of your help. I will be very prepared for Tuesday."
--College student, junior finance major preparing for Superday interviews with a multinational investment management firm
"Thank you for all your help, it really made things more clear about a future career and what college would be best. I ended up deciding to go <college> and I will be trying out computer technology/info systems and Bio courses. I've very excited about going next year and will be sure to contact you. Thank you
---High school senior making college decisions
"I highly recommend Sara Pacelle. Sara's skills, organizational thinking, knowledge and down-to-earth approach are exceptional. She is a true professional. Sara takes time to know her clients so she can best help them through the job search process.Her ability to know how to work with clients based on their personal ability and personality type (eg. Myers Briggs) helps when guiding them on their journey. Sara is an absolute joy to work with. She is not just a coach, she is a huge supporter, cheering on clients and working through everything they need to land a job. (resume building, networking, interviews etc). I have to say it was such a joy working with Sara that I was almost sad when I landed a job because I no longer had a reason to meet with Sara."
---Healthcare Executive
"The interviews went very well. I am absolutely sure that talking with you made it possible. Thank you very much!"
---High school senior preparing for college interviews who got accepted to his first choice college
"Sara is excellent as a career coach from helping with informational interviews, to resume tips, to networking, negotiating and interview help. However, what she adds above and beyond that skill set (and what was most important to me as a client), was her empathy, patience and understanding for each individual's situation. She was able to read my personality and make suggestions I was comfortable with, in a time frame that worked for me. I ultimately landed a job at a great company in Boston and none of this would have been possible without Sara's initial patience and guidance. I would recommend anyone needing a career coach to call Sara first!"
--Recent college graduate client
My daughter is a recent graduate of a top university with a liberal arts degree. She has many interests but did not have a specific direction in terms of what career path she wanted to pursue. Ms. Pacelle was instrumental in helping her to analyze job descriptions to anticipate questions, formulate answers to tough typical questions like "greatest weakness", and to script her "story" when interviewing. Her help in walking through the opportunities before the interviews was invaluable in boosting my daughter's confidence. The best thing is - she ended up with two great offers in the city of her choice. I would heartily recommend consulting Ms. Pacelle for advice on career direction and interviewing techniques and tips. It works
--Parent of a recent college graduate client
"I wish I could turn back the clock and re-do college after working with NorthBridge. I now have a much better idea of who I am and what I want to do with the rest of my life."
---Young professional client
"Sara Pacelle has been an invaluable counselor in my professional life. She guided me through a radical career transition. Her attention was focused and thorough. The follow-up still continues. She listens to your concerns and ideas and puts everything in the mix. I highly recommend Sara for anyone that needs career advice and direction."
---Career transition 45 year old client
"I was in a holding pattern in returning to work after staying home to care for my children and my mother. I was very fortunate Sara organized a day long career event for alumnae returning to work or looking to change careers at our alma mater! She created and facilitated the sessions with a number of her HR contacts and colleagues including Carol Fishman Cohen, a nationally renowned speaker on relaunching your career. The event got me focused on the issues to think about in my own career management. Sara made sure that the advice was practical and easily applicable. The session she gave on LinkedIn and social media helped me to get my LinkedIn profile organized quickly and efficiently. I just started a new job and don’t believe I would be if Sara hadn’t organized the career event! Thanks Sara!"
---Rosemary Comerford Reid, Career Transitioner who attended a career conference organized by NorthBridge Career Partners
"I think the interviews went well. The combination of your preparation and <your referral> definitely helped me for the interviews and now I'm just waiting to hear back.
Thanks!"
-- College student, senior economics major who received job offer for credit analyst program within a major bank
"Thank you so much for all the help you've given <my daughter>. It looks to me like she's on a much better path and she seems so much more relaxed about it all. You have a really lovely manner in dealing with her, as well as so much experience and so many thought-provoking questions and activities. Thanks again for everything! I'll probably be calling you again in a couple of years when my younger daughter is in this place!"
--Parent
"I really appreciate all of the work you have done to help me-I would not have been nearly as confident or straightforward with my answers if it had not been for your guidance. I am very grateful and I thank you so much for all of the work you have helped me do. I have learned a lot about myself and now have good interview skills for the next interview I have!"
--High School Senior preparing for college interviews
"Hi Sara, I AM going to < college> ! I got in with a scholarship to the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) where I will be majoring in computer science.
I have my orientation tomorrow, and I will be getting to meet with my SEAS advisor and plan my schedule. Knowing what I want to major within the school is VERY helpful and I really appreciate the work that you did with me last summer. I would not have discovered the path of engineering/computer science if it had not been for you. I immediately felt the vibe at < college> when I went there. I am really excited to go there. Thanks again for everything,"
--High School Senior working on career plans
Hi Sara, Thank you so much! The resume looks great. I feel like you just handed me a "new me"!
