With the very skillful guidance and support of Susan Harris, I explored new career directions as well as academic upgrade programs which integrated my previous experience, to make me more employable. Susan made sure I thoroughly researched, then, together with her, assessed the viability of options I was considering, guiding me in doing it both from the head, as well as from the heart. I strongly recommend Susan to anyone who is needing or wanting a change in their work direction!

A FEW WORDS FROM SUSAN'S CLIENTS
On very short notice with my application due the next day, I contacted Susan for help with preparing a cover letter and resume for a new position within my school board. I had not applied for a new one in a very long time so felt in the dark and overwhelmed at the thought of approaching it. She was excellent in questioning me to pull out details, specifics, accomplishments and selecting those most relevant to the job posting to enter into the documents. I succeeded in securing an interview out of 400 applicants! Had I given myself more time with Susan to prepare for the interview, I’m confident I could have gotten the position and I learned a lesson from that. I’m trying again for the next round, feeling much wiser, more prepared and confident. I strongly recommend Susan for any job search, career related issues you are struggling with!

My husband and I had the opportunity to have Susan as our professional career and relocation Transition Coach when we planned to immigrate to Canada. Not only did she help us with the initial orientation, job market evaluation, and setting up of our short and long term goals, but also kept us sane with her super-useful tips on work- life balance, and her constant encouragement. Months before we landed in Canada, Susan had changed the way we aligned ourselves to the impending move and structured it in a way that made everything uncomplicated, and possible! Apart from that, she was our go-to for any confusions whatsoever, whether it was interview prep (and both my husband and I got jobs!) or housing! We truly treasure the time Susan spent with us during our pre and post landing sessions and would recommend her to anyone who wants a plain, unbiased and practical approach to career/job transitions and related relocation issues.

"Prior to attending an intensive job search program conducted by Susan Harris, I struggled for months to find a job in Canada. I even attended several workshops at different agencies. Finally a friend of mine advised me to take Susan's workshop and matters started changing for me. Indeed the workshops and courses given by her were very useful as it made me aware of what I needed to change and how to best present my potential and engineering accomplishments to Canadian employers. Those tools and techniques learned at her workshops and sessions are the main reasons why in a very short time, I was called for more than one interview within my 2 most preferred positions."
