Our Classes
While every Job Seeker is unique, we all face the same obstacles. Our 3 main classes are:
- Your FIRST Best Job
- Your Best NEXT Job
- Your Best INTERNSHIP (coming Spring 2023)
We also offer Individual Training in each of these classes, though on a very limited basis due to the time intensive nature of this format.

"For career advice, Linda is in a league of her own. Imagine being able to talk to the lead recruiter for the job of your dreams, and having that recruiter tell you exactly what you need to do, step by step, to be selected. That recruiter is Linda and her passion in life is to help you achieve your career goals. She genuinely wants to help everyone she is involved with take on the right mentality, and have the understanding and tools to reach their professional dreams. The first decade of my career, I attended career seminars, read career self-help books, and hired more than 1 career coach. Two years ago I started working with Linda and I was shocked by how easily she summarized 10 years of career advice and also corrected and expanded on the information in ways I had never thought about before. Since working with Linda, I have switched industries and I am very close to landing my exact dream job. It's going to take some more time and effort on my part but I understand exactly what I am doing to prepare. Each day now has added meaning and excitement because I am making my dreams a reality. Linda has been invaluable in helping me plan and execute my real dream career and I know she can do it for anyone who is willing to learn and put in the effort. I cannot recommend Linda highly enough!"
