Sr. PRODUCT MARKETING MANAGER @ LINKEDIN

Awaken Career Coaching Program was almost like therapy sessions when I felt lost in the job market. I like how Lydia started off by understanding me as a person and made job search suggestions accordingly. After working with her, I learned how to polish my resume, regain my confidence, make great professional connections online, and finally landed MY DREAM JOB at LinkedIn!

For talents who feel lost in their job searching, think of this coaching program as an opportunity to get to know yourself better, gain professional career guidance and learn valuable insights that will stay with you forever.

Sr. ASSOCIATE, PRODUCT MARKETING @ MICROSOFT

I went to many interviews but didn't get anywhere with any of them. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my responses or resume. Unlike other coaches largely into technology, Lydia has the marketing industry knowledge and corporate recruitment experience. During our sessions, she spent extra time addressing my doubts and always responded to my zillion questions promptly and patiently.

With Lydia's advice, I was able to structure my interview answers and incorporated her suggestions into my interview answers. Within three months, a business management consultancy has offered me a full-time role as a Senior Associate, Product Marketing, to support their big client - Microsoft. I'm excited to start my new career in the States and I appreciate Lydia for helping me achieve my job search goal in the Awaken Career Coaching Program!

Market Development Manager @ The Pokémon Company International

Prior to speaking with Lydia I was overwhelmed by the job search in marketing, unsure what hard skills to highlight on my resume or even what titles would suit my unorthodox experience.  Lydia used a highly personalized approach, contacting me before our scheduled call to clarify my goals, and came to our call with an action plan for introspection and execution.  She helped me feel much more prepared for not just the job search, but building a career that's driven by purpose and passion. 

If you are thinking of scheduling time with Lydia, do it!  You'll find a winsome consultant who leads with empathy and arrives at the specific tasks needed to land your next dream role.

VIDEO MARKETING MANAGER @ MANYCHAT

Before reaching out to Lydia, I had very little direction and wasn't being thoughtful with my job search. I would have taken any role, but Lydia made me focus on what kind of role that I want. She also watched a TON of my content. She got to know her clients and tried to help them develop their career goals. She took a very individual approach which made a difference.

Within 3 months, I got a new job EXACTLY in my niche that is fully remote with a 25% raise!(How's that for accomplishing my goal!!) Lydia is also a valuable connection that will stay with you long after you advance your job search. Would highly recommend her service to other marketing talents.

It is always hard to get the first full-time job in the States if you are a foreigner who speaks English as a second language, the whole process can be more exhausting and challenging than you expected. The interview process was very challenging for me as I was looking for a job for almost a year!

One day I decided to book an interview prep session with Lydia and that was thoroughly one of the best decisions I have ever made! What I liked most about Lydia’s service was her strategic approach. During our sessions, she went through the job description with me and pointed out the questions that might be asked in my interviews. Moreover, her strategic tactics helped me to impress the hiring manager and ace my interview! And the result is I got a job offer in a month from one of my dream companies!

MARKETING ASSISTANT @ cph

With Lydia's advice, I was able to revise my resume, resulting in more companies wanting to schedule an interview with me. I also gained insight on the types of questions the recruiter may ask based on analyzing the job description.  In conclusion, Lydia's guidance allows me to understand how I can connect the little experience I have with the job position, presenting myself in the interview with confidence and ultimately getting a job offer.

I would highly recommend Lydia's services to anyone that may have difficulty with job hunting, interview, or the direction of their career path. I especially recommend her services to anyone that is looking for a marketing job and would tell them my experience working with her and the interview prep service.

Lydia’s relevant background, strong reviews, professional website, and features like her interview on the Call-to-Action: Women in Marketing podcast made her stand out. I booked three sessions with Lydia, and it was transformative. She helped me gain clarity on what I truly want in a job and guided me to deeply reflect on my past responsibilities. This process not only reminded me of my accomplishments but also rebuilt my confidence, which had dwindled during my job search. Lydia meticulously walked me through revamping my resume, step by step, ensuring I learned and actively contributed instead of just handing me a finished product.

Starting on September 10th, I worked with her until October 1st. By October 30th, I had four interviews lined up and, shortly after, landed my dream job. I highly recommend Lydia to anyone seeking career guidance. Investing in her expertise is truly one of the best decisions you can make for yourself!

promotions marketing specialist @ The Pokémon Company International

I knew I wanted to switch industry from real estate to the entertainment industry, but had a hard time breaking through and being seen for jobs I wanted. I didn’t know what recruiters were looking for, or what made applicants stand out. Since I had previously spoken with Lydia and enjoyed her content on Linkedin, I knew she could help solve my job search problems and provide me with recruitment insights for the company that I want to work for.

After applying her advice, I landed a marketing role at my dream company - The Pokémon Company International within 5 months. I would encourage anyone considering contacting Lydia to go for it, the proof of her knowledge is evident in her own story and in the stories of those she have helped at Awaken Career!

It can be stressful looking for a job and finding the motivation to continue. The advice that Lydia provides has pushed me to never give up, and has helped me understand what changes I could've been making. I value her understanding and empathy in the process of the job search for job seekers. She's a relatable, trustworthy, genuine person, and her words always resonate to me. Because of her advice, I was able to craft my resume to attract recruiters' interest that eventually landed me my current position!

SR. LOGISTICS ANALYST @ ZERO MOTORCYCLE

Before enrolling Awaken Career Coaching Program, my job search resources were limited and less creative. With Lydia’s professional job search strategies, I got to explore new and different methods to speed up the job search process and move on to better opportunities.

During our coaching sessions, Lydia walked through every detail of my career background and provided unique ideas to help me succeed in my job search. She also shared insightful advice on renovating my LinkedIn profile and resume. It helped me learn how to narrow my job search goal, optimize my resume to attract potential employers, and leverage various LinkedIn features to increase my professional online presence.

Lydia is very passionate about her career consultation service and is dedicated to clients’ job search goals once committed. For that, I highly recommend her career coaching program to anyone who is looking to make a positive impact on their next career.

With her help on resume writing, interview preparation, LinkedIn networking, creating a clear roadmap, etc, I regained my confidence and found a fulfilling career path. If you’re seeking a coach who genuinely cares and supports you, Lydia is the one to choose.
