Testimonials

-Linda Greenfield is AMAZING!!! I was referred to Essential Career Counseling by the California State Bar Lawyer Assistance Program after realizing that my job was not a good fit. I could see almost immediately that Linda was a pro when she shared her screen and showed me how to actually use LinkedIn in ways I had never seen before. Linda helped me with the hands on editing of my resume and drafting of a cover letter for a position that was in line with the values assessment she had me complete to get started with her process.Linda was extremely skilled in identifying keywords and phrases that allowed me to score a 95% match on the applicant tracking system analysis. The tips and pointers she gave I followed to the T and I was able to secure my new position without strain. I accepted their offer today and couldn't be happier. I will be recommending Essential Career Counseling to any friends or family looking to make a change in their careers. I am so grateful to have worked with Linda and can't recommend this service enough. Wow.

     -Z.T. Attorney

-I feel very fortunate to have been introduced to Linda during a career transition. The market for me was quite volatile and uncertain. Linda's approach was kind, thoughtful and optimistic.. yet was pragmatic. She was able to take me through current trends and opportunities and apply very sound approaches to my job search process. She is a great listener! When my next career transition happens, Linda will be my 1st call.

     - J.W. - General Manager @ The Bidwell

-Once my kids went to school, I opened and operated a small business for over seventeen years. Then, for the first time, I was in the job market without knowing what I wanted to be or do. Boy, did I need help! After my first conversation with Linda, I knew I was in the right hands. Over a few months, Linda held my hands when they needed to but taught me to be self-sufficient by providing me with tools and lots of TLC and patience. I joke to my family that Linda is not only a career counselor but a caring therapist. She is calm and continuously diffuses my anxiety and doubts about myself and my career. As a result, I never felt intimidated as I did by some other career counselors.I found my dream job and am excited about my second act. Thanks to Linda. I would highly recommend Linda!

     - Y.P. - Business Owner

-Linda is a coach in every sense of the word. She goes above and beyond in mentoring, teaching, guiding, and supporting her clients through their career journeys. She understands that there's no "one fits all" solution and personalizes each client interaction. She is instrumental in navigating otherwise tough situations and decisions, using techniques and processes designed to truly counsel and help her clients achieve their goals. She expertly holds clients accountable and it’s clear by her dedication that she cares about her client’s well-being. I highly recommend Linda to everyone and anyone!! She’s truly wonderful and I cannot thank her enough!

Throughout our sessions, she continuously went above and beyond what I expected. I left each session feeling very confident about the decisions I was considering, and she gave me the tools to have the best possible chance at succeeding. I would (and have) recommend Linda to anybody who is seeking a service she offers.

     - M.D. - Executive Assistant at Faculty Management and Productions

-I sought out Linda for helping my interview skills and some career advices. Linda is a great listener and VERY patient. She listens to my questions and patiently answers all them. Her tips for interview are very helpful. My interview skills improved tremendously just after one practice with her. I practiced more on my own using her tips and now I got my promotion. Without her help, I probably would not get to where I am now, so thank you Linda. I recommend her if you need a professional who can help you with interview skills with patience.

By thoughtfully tailoring my story and materials after multiple coaching sessions with Linda, I was able to approach every opportunity, conversation, and interview with confidence. I wouldn't have been able to make such a move in my career without her guidance and already have, and will continue to, recommend her to close friends and colleagues in need of a top-tier career counselor and coach.

-I was out of work like thousands of others in the hospitality industry who were impacted by the pandemic in 2020. Thankfully for me I was able to gain the assistance of Linda Greenfield as my career coach through my previous employer. I had been with my pervious employer for 25 years so working with a career coach along with being out of work were certainly new for me.

I found Linda’s advice & recommendations to be more than what I could have hoped for. She was very attentive, thoughtful, & genuinely cared about wanting to make a difference. Without a double Linda’s specific recommendations and suggestions on all aspects of the job search, networking, & personal brand truly made a difference for me in landing my new role. I very feel fortunate to have worked with Linda & will always be thankful to her during my successful career transition.

     - J.C. - Director, Sales Operations at Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board

-Linda is a brilliant career counselor and an absolute expert at what she does. Whether you are looking to advance your career or just need help with your resume, Linda is a truly essential resource.

     - J.S. Executive Assistant

-Linda recently helped me navigate a difficult career transition. My broad scientific training afforded me a broad swath of career opportunities. Coming from an academic setting though, I didn’t have clear guidance on achieving my next steps outside of that realm. Linda stepped in, helped me to set objective tasks and encouraged me to put plans into actions. She regularly challenged me to keep up the pace of my search. Most importantly for me, I looked forward to talking with Linda every week. She is a kind and thoughtful listener, that provides positive emotional support – which is so critical. I also really appreciated Linda’s commitment to my success, which was clear even before she offered me extended assistance during the economic downturn triggered by the pandemic. I will carry her lessons with me throughout my career.

     - K.F. - Biomedical Engineer | Molecular Cardiology Scientist

-I can not thank my lucky stars enough for finding Linda! I started out feeling overwhelmed and lost when thinking about transitioning to a new career but Linda, along with her resources, has helped to make the process much more strategic and structured. Every time I have met with her I can tell that she is really listening to me and thinking about my overall goals as well as addressing any anxieties I may have around my job search. I wish I could tell everyone that needs career advice to go to her. Even the resources she has provided for informational interviews, LinkedIn searches, etc. have proven to be immensely helpful and solid guidelines for when I have gotten "stuck." The progress I have made in the time she has been coaching me has been priceless. Linda has been kind and insightful every step of the way and I look forward to continuing to work with her and have full confidence I am in the best hands out there!

     -B.A. - Special Event Coordinator at Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California

-Admittedly, I am writing this recommendation for Linda awhile after the fact, but everything I have to say is still top of mind and has stuck with me in the intervening time between when I had the pleasure of working with Linda and now. In those 9 months I've had a good deal of time to reflect on how Linda helped me overcome many obstacles; some that I was putting in my own way. Linda is very thorough and thoughtful at matching a candidate's skills, passions and expectations with the realities of the market they are in. She displayed immense patience with me, as I was resistant to using some of the tactics and strategies that she pushed for, and ultimately allowed me to overcome my hesitations and get out of my own headspace and comfort zone. Linda was immensely helpful at coaching through the interview process, at all stages, and ran through countless scenarios and feedback sessions with me until I got to a level where I was effective at communicating to multiple levels of stakeholders and interviewers during some pretty grueling interview loops (up to 5-6 hours long, onsite with combination of in-person and remote sessions). And she always made sure I followed up and wrote thank yous or acknowledgements even when I either didn't want the role or knew I had tanked the interview. I will have the learnings and takeaways from my time working with Linda for the rest of my career, and I know that they will remain useful and relevant no matter the job market and economic conditions that are the backdrop for a new job search.

There was so much I didn't know about both myself and the process before reaching out to Linda. UPDATE: Thanks to Linda's motivation to take extra initiative, she's helped me land EXACTLY the job I wanted. The compensation is a major advance toward what I've wanted in my professional life.

-Linda helped me form a strong 360 degree perspective towards job search and allowed me to have a water-tight interview preparation. She helped me gain the self-confidence and the calmness needed to tackle tough interviews and unplanned situations. Early in the process, Linda helped me polish and tighten up my resume. The resume was the most accurate description of who I am as a professional and gave me the confidence that I’ve never had in my resume. Throughout different phases during my search, Linda helped me stay on top of my game and pointed me towards the right resources and ensured full intensity. Right before important conversations, we would have a check-in and sometimes even a mock interview followed up with feedback and a re-run if needed. Additionally, she would always ask me penetrative questions and have me think through different scenarios, thereby taking my preparation to the next level. Linda’s experience not only gave me a personalized job search strategy by focussing on my strengths and passion areas but more importantly gave me empathy and appreciation for the entire job hunt process. This was a real game changer for me because it completely shifted my thinking about job search from being a daunting undertaking to a meaningful exploration. I really enjoyed working throughout the job search process and will be seeking her advice throughout my career.

-I worked with Linda in the fall of 2017 as I was in a career transition. I had not had great success getting past the gatekeepers and needed some guidance. The first thing Linda said to me was why wasn't I looking for Director of Operations positions? I had been an entrepreneur for 17 years running my own business, and I had never considered that yes, in fact I was a Director of Operations! I broadened my search and found the most amazing position with a wonderful company as Director of Operations. Linda not only provided a new focus on my search, she gave me valuable information and suggestions that I would have never thought of. I would suggest Linda to anyone who is in transition, not have great success getting interviews, or resume help. She looks at you as an individual, and takes the time before your meeting to prepare so the time is spent in a very productive manner. I can’t say enough great things about Linda. She opened my eyes and that lead me to exactly the position and organization I have dreamt of.

     - K.C., Learning & Development | Training | Relationship Manager | Operations

-Linda's thoughtful guidance and insights were engaging and complete. Professional and very personable, her help with my job interview preparation is truly essential and indispensible. I give my sincerest recommendation.

     - E.C., Information Systems Analyst

-Linda Greenfield is exceptional! Her professional skills as a career coach has help provide the strategies for my son to secure a new position with a professional sports team. Through a referral we met Linda Greenfield- and it was our great fortune.
My son and I spoke with her independently, each identified our objectives and goals in why we wanted to work her. We shared his career goals and at that point forward - My son and Linda worked privately and created a plan to help him achieve his professional goals.
The coaching sessions identified his strength and weaknesses and thru those constructive sessions, and coaching, my son was successful in developing the tools and strategies for approaching interviews, meetings and even office protocols that young adults are not prepared for after graduation. These are the professional skills that are essential to their future. A college education is so important but unfortunately, they don’t teach young adults the skills they truly need to be successful in their careers.
I am so thankful for Linda’s expertise - she’s is truly an outstanding coach. My son continues to work with her at on-going basis as an advisor as his career is just getting started. We’re in Chicago and Linda is on the West Coast- location scheduling calls and meetings using via webcast were excellent! Thank you for your talents and touching our life.

     - C.L., Parent of Client

-Linda was extremely helpful in guiding me to figure out the different career options that I could be passionate and happy in. After taking a few years after graduating college to travel, I was feeling overwhelmed and lacked the confidence to enter the workforce in today’s job market. Linda’s brilliant strategies and her assessments helped me pinpoint specific roles that I would be interested in and she was able to explain the different career paths associated with it that I could explore. During our phone call, she was very attentive, friendly, and took extra time and care to explain my assessment results and provided guidance on the next steps to take. She genuinely cares about her clients and greatly demonstrates her expertise to help us achieve our goals. I feel more motivated and confident in my job search and am excited to continue to work with Linda in my future career endeavors.

     - S.W., Operations Manager

-Linda's coaching is meaningful and lasting. Her generosity of spirit and incredible insight helped me get to the heart of the steps I needed to take to hone in on my objectives and build to my strengths.
I am excited to embark on what may be my capstone-career-endeavor to help develop upstream systems that enable Albuquerque children to gain opportunities to meet their potential. I'm excited because that's what I really want to do and can do - and Linda set the groundwork to make this happen!

     - M.S.. Senior Advisor for Outcomes & Accountability

-Linda was an amazing help to my career beginning and was the sole reason I landed a dream internship in the field I had always wanted to be in. We did almost bi-weekly skype sessions where she taught me all the ins and outs of networking, interviewing, and how to professionally approach the job hunting process. She was such an amazing help and I plan on working with Linda for the foreseeable future as I move into my professional career.

     - J.L., Events and Entertainment Intern, Professional Sports

-Linda was extremely helpful as I searched for a position. She helped me find a better direction with my career path, and was very kind and positive. She assisted me with my resume and cover letter for a position I was interested in, and has continued to give me useful tips whenever I have any questions. I highly recommend Linda to anyone who is searching for direction and assistance along the way of a career search!

     - M.R., Marketing | Social Media Marketing | Digital Marketing | Strategy | Data Analytics

-Linda was really helpful throughout my job search process and salary negotiations.

     - K.C., Programs Director

She was able to guide me through the process to a satisfactory conclusion. I give her my highest recommendation and encourage serious career builders to work with her.

     - M.W., Sales, Client Relationships and Business Operations Specialist

-Linda covers a lot of material; it is all extremely helpful. I feel motivated and hopeful again, so that's good! I feel a little overwhelmed with all there is to do, but she is calm and patient, and understands that it can feel overwhelming. Thanks, Linda!

     - M.P., Financial Analyst

-I am so glad I reached out to Linda Greenfield for guidance during my recent career change. Linda was very accommodating in finding a time that worked with my schedule, and because I do not live in the LA area, we spoke over Skype. Linda is an incredible listener and very easy to talk to. She has a clear wealth of knowledge and was very insightful when discussing my possible career moves. Our meeting felt conversational yet it was structured in a meaningful way. First we discussed what I am looking for in my next career move and then she went through the results of my assessments, which she had me complete prior to our meeting. She interpreted the results of the assessments for me, explaining which of my possible career moves best aligned with my personality type, skill set, and interests, and which types of jobs I am less suited for. This was so valuable, as she opened my eyes to certain careers that I didn't necessarily know about, affirmed some of my beliefs about what career paths would be a good match for me, and helped me to think through (and eventually turn down) a job offer for a job that - based on the assessments and our conversation - was clearly not a match. She provided me with concrete job-search advice and invaluable networking tips, which really prepared me to move forward exploring a new career path. On top of all that, she followed up with an email containing additional resources!

I would recommend her to anyone looking for guidance or advice in starting a new career or navigating a transition.

     - K.B., University of California graduate

-While I was looking for a career and at a crossroads Linda Greenfield was a wonderful resource. She offered clear and actionable guidance, where others would only give vague advice. She reviewed and offered constructive criticisms of my resume and cover letter and provided me with tips that I have continued to use throughout my career advancement. She was also available to provide encouragement and support during the nerve wracking interviewing and networking processes. I would highly recommend anyone in need of career counseling to have Linda on their team.

     - S.N., Clinical Research Coordinator

-Linda Greenfield was extremely helpful to me when I was searching for a job as I approached college graduation. She helped me completely restructure my resume to make it stand out against other applicants in my same field. With Linda's edits, I confidently sent out my resume to various potential employers and ended up getting hired to the company I wanted a month before I graduated college. Besides improving my resume, Linda also helped me realize exactly what type of profession would be right for me. Linda was always available whenever I had questions about interview techniques or discussing different companies. Linda was an extremely great help to me during my job search for after college, and I would 100% recommend Linda as a career counselor.

     - M.K., Market Research Project Manager

-It's Linda's compassion, generosity and intelligence that makes her coaching special. Efficient and focused, she provides practical advice that is immediately useful. Linda is especially insightful about identifying ways to apply past experience to career objectives - often a challenge for experienced professionals to do on our own.

     - M.S., Program Development, Management & Evaluation

-I was looking to transition from journalism to nonprofit work when I sought out Linda's help. She counseled me on my transferable skills and helped me revamp my resume, both of which were paramount in landing a position I love at a national nonprofit organization. I would encourage anyone looking for career help to seek out Linda's sage advice. Thank you Linda!

     - V.S., Online Communications Associate

-Having worked with Linda has been a major plus. She is fully dedicated to her clients growth and success. With Linda I always felt a genuine sense of care and concern. She is truly a professional with high integrity. She is detailed in her work and is a positive force of support. I highly recommend her for any career counseling.

     - P.K., Hiring Manager, Guest Relations

-I was lacking direction and clarity towards my next career move. I was looking into the possibility of changing careers all together. I met with Linda Greenfield. She was such a pleasure to work with. I have a hectic work schedule and she booked me on a Friday from 5-6pm to accommodate my needs. I was so grateful for that. Linda took the time to hear me out and provided me with a great counseling session and reference materials for some of the careers I had in mind (which would of taken me days for me to put together). I am so glad that I made the decision to go. I left feeling that they really care about what they do and helping others. Most importantly, I finally had direction and the tools to make an educated decision. Thanks Linda!

-I found myself in job market after 21 years being in the same job, so as you can imagine, my resume needed some work. I had my updated resume reviewed by Linda. Linda provided great advice and tips, including how to make it noticed by various application filtering software. Her review made a huge difference.

-I met Linda one weekend in 2016 at an all day Career Transition Symposium on "Finding Passion, Purpose and Pay/ Project 5.0+ ."  Linda was phenomenal and stood out from the rest of the panel, which is why I reached out to stay in touch. Her presentation that day resonated with me to my core.

-I have had the pleasure of knowing Linda for several years now through her work at the USC Career Center. She is a very knowledgeable career counselor with the unique position of having been in the corporate world prior to her work as a career counselor. Many of our students seek out corporate positions- she is very adept at walking them through the process of applying and interviewing for the diversity of positions they are interested in. She is able to work with anyone who comes to us seeking help and always has a strong attitude of wanting to help the most she can. She truly understands how to meet the students and alumni where they are in life and help them make progress to the next step.
