“When I first came to Marky I felt like a scared puppy. Now I feel like a lion! Because of working with her on my resume and interviewing skills, I now I have a financial analyst position with Charles Schwab and once I settled on the companies I wanted to target, I found and secured the position within weeks!”
- Christine C. San Jose, CA
“The best thing about working with Marky was the support, kindness and compassion she offered. I came to her in my first real job search since graduating from a Master’s program. She helped me realize skills and talents I didn’t know how to name or talk about. Now employers know what I have to offer and I landed my first position as a Social Worker within two weeks of working with her.”
- Sharon S. Santa Cruz, CA
“I was frustrated about my job search in such a tight market. I had been unsuccessful in finding a job for a year before I sought out the help of Ms. Stein. She helped me be enthusiastic, motivated and focused. She taught me a technique for directly contacting the person with the power to hire me in a long distance job search. At first I was reluctant to use such an aggressive approach. With her special coaching, practice and advice, I landed a job with the FIRST employer I contacted. Now I have a job in Texas as a sustainable energy consultant with a prominent architectural firm. I love my new job, I’m making twice the salary I used to make and I got the job in literally lightening speed without having to compete with the thousands of other resumes on the internet.”
- Mike H. Austin, TX
“I have had multiple offers by listening to her CD on ‘imagining’ myself succeeding in a job interview. The results of listening to the tape have been amazing. After listening to the CD a couple of times and then again before each interview, I feel like I am unstoppable, and the offers prove that I am 100% prepared.”
- Tom F. Bellingham, WA
“Marky’s tips and practice in salary negotiation enabled me to negotiate OUTSIDE the highest of the range they offered, even in one of the worst job markets in decades. I never could have dreamed of trying this and actually succeeding if I had not had the training offered by Ms. Stein.”
- Kay R. Portland, OR
“I just landed my first job as a Human Resources Staffing Specialist in under six weeks because of the work I did with Marky. I would highly recommend Marky Stein to ANYONE involved in a job search during a recession.”-
- Erin F. Milwaukee, WI
“Ms. Stein helped me discover the power of what she calls Strategic Education my helping me to enroll in a program for Public Administration. Added to the degree I already had in Public Health, this one bold move helped me go from a Public Health educator at $42,000 a year to a Public Health Senior Manager paying $80,000 a year – BEFORE I even finished my second course in Public Administration.”
- Marc M. Roseville, CA
“I tripled my salary after working with Marky because she helped me get into an open admissions program in Environmental Planning. Three weeks into my first class, I went from being a landscaper to working with the government on a project to restore the ecology of the swamplands near San Francisco Bay. After that, the job offers kept pouring in and I did not even have to finish the program in Environmental Planning!”
- Pat M. Boulder Creek, CA
“Marky went out of her way and spent extra time with me to help me transfer my skills as a “burned out” corporate attorney into the area of teaching in an academic setting. Teaching students in an academic setting is finally meaningful. I feel like I am doing something for the world AND doing what I love.”
- Jonathan L. Hoboken, NJ
“It is almost impossible for me to express the gratitude I feel toward Marky and her work with me. After my layoff I felt absolutely hopeless because there were so few job opportunities in my small town of Warsaw, Virginia. Now I have my own business catering pies and desserts. At first I felt like the world was caving in. Now I feel like I can tackle the world!”
- Barbara G. Richmond, VA
“I want to thank Ms. Stein for helping me to realize that I am not just ANY graphic designer, but instead, a UNIQUE graphic designer. She taught me how to ‘pitch’ my product with confidence and flair. With my new portfolio and UNIQUE frame of mind, I am landing at least two and a half times the business I used to!”
- Amy C. Des Moines, IA
“Working with Marky was miraculous and inspirational. I went from privately writing in my own journal, never believing that my writing would ever be professional, to earning $800 for my first piece on the front page of the weekend edition of Lifestyles in the San Francisco Chronicle. I also submitted my first book and got it published immediately. Marky’s encouragement and savvy in helping me learn the ropes in publishing have gotten me to the place of being a professional journalist and author.”
- Janine S. Aptos, CA
“With Marky’s help I went from a customer service representative to admitting to myself that my real dream was to help others in the health field. Marky helped me sift through my confusion about what career to choose to finally finding a goal to be a Licensed Nurse Practitioner. I am already enrolled in the prerequisites for my new career I know in my gut that this is not only what I was always meant to do but is ALSO something I can and will do.”
- Kate B. Atlanta, GA
“I am an IT consultant. I liked what I was doing but I thought I needed to change careers to meet the financial needs of my family. Marky simply told me that my fees were way too low and helped me package my offerings and business in a way that I could convince customers of my worth. Not one customer has ever complained since then that my prices were too high. I know the value of my work to companies and individuals and I’ll never turn back.”
Donald A. Santa Clara, CA
“After the layoff in my manufacturing company, it took me only six weeks to find a great job with Marky’s help while my former co-workers struggled to find new work for over seven months. In applying for my new job, I even got a promotion from a line worker to a supervisor, and the extra pay that comes with it.”
- Miguel G. San Ramon, CA
“Marky helped me to break into the film and television industries by aggressively calling a database of producers and production managers. I never would have guessed that I would have to aim that high to be noticed. I volunteered to do my first two productions for free, but every one since then has been paid, and WELL paid. I can safely say that I now have enough renown in my field to never have more than three weeks between projects, and am making a great living in my dream career.”
- Claudia F. Woodland Hills, CA
“Working with Marky Stein gave me the motivation and courage to mount my first art show and market myself to the hospitality industry. Within months of working with her I got a large contract to use my art with a nationwide hotel chain. Now my art decorates their walls exclusively and as they grow, I am literally ALWAYS working.”
- Lynn M. Las Vegas, NV
“Marky tweaked my resume so that one year of EXPERIENCE looks like five years of experience because of transferable skills from other jobs I’ve had. She assisted me step by step in the interviewing process and because I now really have faith in myself, I got two offers within five weeks. Now, its’ just a matter of deciding which offer I want!”
Vince F. St. Augustine, FL
“As a presales engineer in an overly saturated market, I needed to get an edge. Working with Marky was NOT just like having an hour or month of coaching. It was like a constant conversation with many short calls and emails and a LOT of feedback. It wasn’t easy but I felt that Marky “had my back” at every turn. Within about three months of working with her I finally landed a job in a field where everyone else was being laid off. Marky kept me motivated and informed, and for that I thank her.”
- David R. Menlo Park, CA
“I went from an administrative assistant to a corporate events planner. After about four weeks of coaching to decide on a new career, get my resume together and learn Marky’s “direct contact” techniques, I decided to try to reach employers directly with Marky’s direct contact techniques. I’m not sure if it was luck or skills (maybe a bit of both) but I got four interviews in ONE day over the telephone and then in the next week I had TWO job offers! My job has expanded to not just being an events planner, but also in taking employer sponsored classes to add web designing to my portfolio. I’m on top of the world!”
Ellen T. Washington, D.C.
“I always felt that my title – Sr. Manager – at my last job was too low and unfair. Marky helped me to “rebrand” myself as a Director, upgrade my resume and most important, TALK and THINK like a director. My new job as a Director of Engineering definitely reflects the work I did with her.”
Ravi M. Palo Alto, CA
“The biggest things I got from working with Marky Stein were inspiration, motivation and confidence. I am sure that I can do anything I set my mind to do. I was totally in the dark before about the talents I had to offer in the marketplace. I’ve had a talent explosion and now employers know about it too!”
- Cole R. Chicago, IL
“As a graduating student, I thought I had little to offer in the adult career world and was sure I’d end up as a waitress or working in a video store. A friend told me to contact Marky Stein. She helped me see how my classes and internship as a student could land me a better job than that. I also started a certificate program upon her advisement. Before I finished the certificate program and after she revised my resume, I received an offer as a financial advisor. With her help in giving a convincing interview, I’m now in the professional world only months after being a scared graduate! Thank you Marky.”
