"I can't say enough good things about…"

I can't say enough good things about Kathy and The Contingent Plan. Kathy was responsive and timely. Within a week, I had a brand new resume that brought about an immediate response and multiple interviews. Her service is absolutely worth the money and in my opnion, a bargain! Without Kathy and her amazing resume writing skills, I know for a fact that I wouldn't have gotten as many interviews as I currently have - she is magic! I couldn't reccomend her higher; in fact, I reccomended her to my own family members and dear friend and they both are also incredibly happy. Hire Kathy...you won't be sorry.

"Exceeded Expectations - Thank You!"

I couldn't be happier about my experience working with Kathy. Instead of simply reworking my resume and calling it a day, she took the time to get to know my career interests and my goals, and from there helped me to refine my message in my resume and interviews. She was also outstandingly helpful in suggesting positions to apply to, and in encouraging me to plan ahead and take the steps I needed to be able to reach my goals. Finally, and importantly, I felt very listened to throughout the entire process. I was never told to settle for a position, or to change my expectations for what I want to achieve. Instead, Kathy worked with me to develop concrete steps towards reaching those expectations. Her help was more than I could have asked for!

"Fantastic experience with Kathy"

Kathy’s career coaching was so helpful to my husband as he navigated his job search. She provided detailed feedback on his resume and cover letters and provided sound strategy and advice for his search. She conducted a moot interview and her questions were spot-on. He felt extremely prepared for his interviews. I would highly recommend her to others considering a career transition or seeking additional guidance or resources while looking for new opportunities.

"Insightful Writing Informed by Experience"

I found Kathy brought wise insight and suggestions based on actual experience to my resume. Her approach helped craft a more thorough picture of my experience and background. I would definitely recommend her and her work,

"Results in 3 months"

From the initial meeting until an accepted job offer, it was a great experience that lasted about 3 months. I worked with an amazing coach that helped me focus my job search and build my value proposition. I got invaluable insight and help with my resume that helped land interviews, and then interview prep that gave me the confidence to ace them and receive a job offer at my top target organization.

"Kathy’s help was invaluable"

Kathy’s help rewriting my resume generated more job leads. Her insights were helpful in providing more focus in my job search. She is a pleasure to work with.

"Excellent Investment"

Excellent Investment

I was stuck in a job I wasn't happy with, making less than I could, and had no idea what the next step in my career should be. I did some research and contacted a number of career coaches and resume specialists. Of everyone I talked to, I liked Kathy's intelligence and direct manner over the phone. I hired her almost immediately.

Kathy and the Contingent Plan is the smartest money I've ever spent on myself. I am in a new job making 55% more than I was and I have a career trajectory laid out in front of me that has immense promise to grow more. What's more I am challenged and enjoy my work.

I used the Contingent Plan's services for career coaching, resume writing, and cover letters. Kathy knows what employers are looking for and has impactful insights for the Twins Cities region. She will give you useful actionable advice and suggest strategies that will generate traction in the job market. She reworked my resume thoroughly and I was getting phone calls and emails almost every day sometimes from recruiters I hadn't even applied to. These phone calls and emails were just the first step to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round interviews that allowed me to have my pick of the employment that was best for me. I did the grind of applying to hundreds of jobs, but she made sure my resume was noticed and I was focusing on the right roles.

In summation, I cannot recommend the Contingent Plan highly enough. It's one of the the best career choices I ever made.
