I walked away feeling the program [Jumpstart Your Museum Job Search] was incredibly constructive, enriching and empowering. Alli has a unique way of being both personal and professional, connecting the micro with the macro and holding you both accountable while also being your biggest cheerleader. What more could you ask for?

I got an interview from the Smithsonian after submitting my new resume and I feel like that's what finally set me apart. I've applied to the Smithsonian at least 20 times and never got an interview before!

"I was making a major career change. My work history prior to the GLAM field was based in hospitality and the performing arts. I was so unsure of how to "sell myself" in a similar way in this new environment while still portraying professionalism. On our video call, Alli pulled all sorts of extra info from me and help me to see what a hiring manager might see as valuable during the hiring process. Alli recognized how my show tune personality didn't come through on the dry resume I'd been submitting, and encouraged me to try unconventional things like including moments of narration to better chronicle my work history, and including testimonials from former clients. It worked, I got a job within six months and those elements--according to my hiring manager--were what made my application stand out. I work on the research and engagement team at an archive and its an absolute dream job. I can't thank Alli enough for her guidance and I highly recommend her services to anyone applying in this field!"
"My director gave me resume feedback! She mentioned how much she liked my resume because it came with narration and included testimonials. She said it stood out and was very helpful because it told a clear story about who I was, even if it was unusual. I hope you've encouraged more people to show personality in resumes!"
I have achieved my long-time goal of landing a federal job! I wanted to thank you for your workshop. I used some of the questions and techniques to navigate the interview process. They actually had to fight for me because I had another offer!

Alli's four sessions [for Jumpstart Your Museum Job Search] were packed with useful tips and exercises that I will definitely be putting to use in my current and future job searches. She is an engaging speaker and clearly knows a lot about the topics covered. Would fully recommend this program!

I recently landed a job and the resume I applied with is the first one I've sent since implementing the changes we discussed. I have no doubt that my resume had a great deal to do with getting me the job. When I stopped worrying about compacting my work into two pages and instead focused on being detailed, the hiring managers were clearly impressed with my long list of credentials.

I wanted to thank you for [our meeting]. Honestly, it was incredibly helpful and has gotten me excited about my future in this field. Before this, I was starting to get extremely frustrated with this industry and was thinking it was time for me to pivot into a new career. Talking about what I do out loud and expressing my hopes for the future really reminded me why I do all this.

One month after completing your program, I landed a public history job. I used your worksheets to create the resume I submitted for that job and to prepare for the two interviews. I had been applying for jobs for about a year and was feeling defeated before participating in your program. I hope you will continue to offer it because it is SO needed in our field right now. While the coaching is exceptional, I think the true magic behind the program is your ability to connect people who are navigating the same difficult process and making them feel supported.

I am just sitting down to open these documents you sent and I am in AWE!!! WOW! After our meeting and reviewing these documents, I'm looking at my resume and cover letter in a different light. I have started to see how I need them to work for me. They are so much more than just tooting your own horn. I haven't treated them with the respect they deserve. I feel better about sitting down to write them.

Alli's new group coaching series is comprehensive yet engaging. I enjoyed learning the cutting-edge techniques for job searching that were uniquely tailored to the museum field. Networking with other emerging and mid-career professionals was both supportive and connective -- it was reassuring to know that I wasn't alone in my search. Alli is knowledgeable and experienced; hip and upbeat but also super down-to-earth. She makes the content relatable and fun. I highly recommend this program!

This group coaching program showed me that I am not alone in my desire to transition from teaching to museum work. Learning how to develop my personal brand (selling myself) is a challenge for me and I felt like I got some good ideas on how to do that a bit better. Thank you for a great experience!

Alli is extremely helpful and knowledgeable career coach. I was very impressed by her step-by-step approach. It is also nice to do this as a group session. You do not feel alone!
