Working with Josh was productive and effective in that he helped me be significantly better prepared for my interviews during my most recent search. To anyone who’s considering working with Josh, I recommend it without hesitation.

Josh’s direct style of communication helped me focus on the parts of my search that I could actually control, and avoid getting sucked into the emotional roller coaster that is job searching. Not only did he help me regain my confidence, he coached me on how best to tell my story in ways that resonated with my interviewers and therefore moved me forward in each process. He helped me move forward from the negative emotions I felt about being in an active search in the first place, and instead, with his guidance, I was able to show up more authentically and better informed about how to position myself as the least risky candidate, i.e., the candidate who was a no-brainer.

Because of Josh’s feedback, coaching, reality checks, and sense of humor (which was sorely lacking given that my search lasted several months), I was able to navigate my search more steadily. That doesn’t mean that there weren’t hard days; when those inevitably came about, Josh supported me by reminding me that I was controlling the parts that were actually mine to control, and that my offer was coming, full stop.
