Since 2009 Barbara Gonzalez has enabled both new and seasoned professionals to achieve their career goal. She’s coached and guided job-seekers across many industries – from healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing to education and government services – as well as individuals seeking acceptance to medical/dental school or residency programs. After working with Barbara, 98% of her clients secure the position or gain acceptance into the program they are seeking.

After my session with Barbara, I was able to better articulate my value to my prospective employer and I was offered a job a few weeks later! She also went above and beyond the call of duty when I needed help during the negotiation process and had no one else to turn to. Barbara was instrumental during this crucial time, and I recommend her to anyone looking to put their best foot forward in their next interview.

After I bombed a few medical school interviews, my dad suggested I use an interview coach. I had a few sessions with Barbara where she worked with me on my answers and my overall presentation, including questions to ask. My next interview went amazing — I rocked it! I connected well with each interviewer and felt like my answers came from the heart.

Barbara offers a custom approach to landing your next position. She adds value to what you are already doing and coaches you on tactics that you may not be utilizing. Her focus is on relationship building and being an out-of-the-box entrepreneurial thinker when it comes to managing your career. You pay for a real service rather than the run of the mill career coaches who charge you for advice that is available on the Internet for free. Excellent value!

I highly recommend Barbara Gonzalez for the incredible interviewing advice and individualized coaching she did for me. Her knowledge and expertise were instrumental in assisting me in securing my new position. She truly listens to your goals (with patience) and helps map out a plan to achieve them. The “role playing” she does assists in building the confidence and education that is needed in this “new normal” job seeking and interviewing environment today.

I was 33 years old. The age cutoff for getting hired as a Firefighter – my dream job — was 34. So I knew I had to do well on all my interviews to get an offer but for two years, all of my interviews were ranked low. I found Barbara through an Internet search and hired her to coach me for every interview. My interview outcomes were then graded higher, then highest, and I finally started to make it to the second round of interviews, and eventually got hired.

The knock-out punch for me came when, in in an interview, the HR Director asked what I would do and how I would integrate into the company in 90 days. I handed her the 30/60/90-Day Plan Barbara helped me prepare and the CEO was like “WOW.” Her help definitely made a difference in my preparation.
