Before seeking coaching from Alma, I worked in a social enterprise start-up, a crowdfunding platform, and a not-for-profit organization. My interest in sustainability was strong, but I had little knowledge about the field. As an international student, I faced challenges in networking and job hunting, as I was accustomed to campus placements in my home country.
Working with Alma was a delight. Despite her busy schedule, she always made time to meet with me and review my application materials. Our coaching sessions were iterative, starting with assessments to understand my strengths and interests. We also revisited my academic curriculum to identify relevant topics for my resume. This perspective was incredibly helpful.
Alma’s famous “red pen” marked many changes on my resume, which I would incorporate before our next session. We also tailored my cover letter to create a compelling narrative for roles in sustainability and conducted mock interviews to prepare me for actual interviews. The most important skill I acquired was networking, which is crucial in consulting. She connected me with industry professionals, helping me gain a better understanding of the field.
Alma’s coaching was instrumental in setting me on a career path in sustainability. Her support throughout the application process was unwavering.
“I highly recommend Alma’s career development services. Her insights, experiences, and connections in the industry are invaluable. To gain the most from the program, be proactive and diligent. Working with Alma will undoubtedly help you achieve your career goals.“
