Andrew E., Accountant
Discovered Her Career Path!
“I went to see Pam for career guidance after high school and while I was trying to figure out my major in college. I took the Myers Briggs and did the Strong Inventory with Pam and it helped me discover what I was really interested in and the types of things I wanted to be doing with my career. With the help of Pam’s coaching and guidance I am now enrolled in an OT program and really excited about the direction I am heading in and my future career!”
Allie F., Occupational Therapy Assistant

Pam’s knowledge of careers and job-seeking is extensive. She helped me bring my resume and job-seeking approach up to date. Pam helped restore some of my lagging self-confidence and motivation, with her energy, positive attitude and encouragement to value my past work experiences.

Michelle J., Business Manager
Moved Forward with Coaching
“Pam is really wonderful about guiding you toward yourself and helping you identify what you really need. She coaches you through reassessing your current situation, so you can examine it in a new light. Essentially Pam enables you to get out of your own way, so you can move forward individually, or, within the framework of a team. Plus, she’s gracious and patient and allows the process to unfold in an organic way. I loved working with her.”
Amy A., St. Business Owner
Feels More Confident
“Pam does great work! As I transitioned into a more senior role within my organization it was challenging and I needed to recognize and adjust to new skill sets and communications needs. Pam was able to help me capitalize on some of my natural strengths. I had to grow professionally and she helped me recognize some really needed areas for professional improvement. I now feel much more capable communicating effectively with C-level and Executive Staff. I have also found it very helpful in communicating with and coaching my own growing team of direct reports. Finally, I am better able to manage and foster conflict resolution for the benefit of my customers thanks to the work we did together. I highly recommend working with Pam as a coach.”
Marc C., IT Manager
Happier at Work!
“My work with Pam was instrumental in finding a career that I can be happy in, but what she really provided was so much more than that. Pam was able to help me identify my personal strengths and needs. This not only showed me the work I was suited for, but the work that would challenge me in the way I wanted to be challenged. In addition to finding the direction I wanted to go in, she helped me with all the details- preparing a resume, practicing for interviews, and identifying industries and specific positions that fit my skills and desires. Pam was an advisor, an advocate and a friend throughout the process and I wouldn’t be as happy in my career and current position if it wasn’t for her.”
David S., Business Analyst
New Resume Helped with Graduate School Application
“I hired Pam to update my resume so I could apply for an exemption for taking the GMAT as part of my MBA program application. I am happy to report the resume looks great and I got the exemption! Thank you, Pam!”
I.M. Kim, Chemical Engineer
Overcame Burnout
“Working with Pam has changed my life. When I initially contacted Pam to learn more about her services, I was emotionally, physically, and mentally struggling with a challenging boss at work. I was also dealing with career burnout. The stress from this negative work environment had leaked into my personal life and was wreaking havoc on my health. Pam has been a savior in helping me to get back on track and turn my crisis around. She also helped me to better define my career interests, values, and goals so I can pursue a position that both speaks to my heart and pays the bills. Every session with Pam has been an enlightening one, with takeaways that can be immediately applied to my career and life. I don’t know where I would be right now personally or professionally if it was not for Pam.”
Kristine, Project Manager
Aced the Interview
“I am happy to report that I have received and accepted a job offer from the organization I interviewed with. I want to express my gratitude for the service and help that you provided me during our time working together. I particularly want to thank you for assisting me with preparing for the interview. Your preparatory questions allowed me to look for the underlying questions in the interview, and to work out the kinks in the delivery of my answers. I believe that the service that you provide is important to the community. I am more than happy to refer friends and colleagues to your firm.”
Paul P., Chief Financial Officer
Found and Landed New Job
“I was looking back at some texts and was reminded of how completely “there for me” you were this past year during my job search. Coaching me, listening to me, encouraging me and giving me wisdom- being in my corner at a time when I really needed it. Actually, over many times (months) when I was in a weird place and your guidance helped keep me tethered. Thanks for giving me that support. Not all paths are straight but thank you for helping mine become less winding.”
Matt J., Marketing Manager

Kristin C., Marketing Executive
Happy with New LinkedIn and Resume
“Pamela has a rare talent to be able to really “pull” things out of me — very quickly and effectively. Her approach also seemed less conventional, but very impactful. I’m very happy with my new LinkedIn profile and resume — which hadn’t been updated for years. And the personal branding exercise what fun…and helpful!”
Heather F., V.P. Marketing
Discovered Unique Talents
“I scheduled two sessions with Pam, and she was very generous with her time. Before the first session, she took time to review my resume and provide written feedback to make the in-person time more productive. She was very helpful in getting me to talk about myself and articulate what makes me different and valuable. She helped me identify and articulate the kinds of working environments where I can thrive!”
Carl L., Marketing Professional
Now Has Her Dream Job!
“Pam is an excellent career coach and helped me dive into my work ethic and style through personality tests and fruitful 1:1 conversations. Pam is extremely kind and helped me land my dream job. I would highly recommend her to anyone in search of a new career!”
Hannah B., Associate Director of Partnerships
Landed A New Role that Suits Her
“I feel lucky to have found Pam Farone at a time when I needed an outside perspective on my career direction and job search. Once I began working with Pam, all the many pieces that had overwhelmed me about applying and interviewing for a new role became action items that I wasn’t alone in completing. She dug into my work experience and pulled out so many gems that had been buried, and she helped me see that I brought so much more to the table than I was presenting on my resume and LinkedIn profile. Through interview preparation and practice with Pam, I was able to interview with confidence, and land a new role that truly suits me. I’ve already recommended her to others in need of a resume and career refresh, and will continue to do so!”
Anna P., Grant Writer
Updated Resume and Career Shift
“When recently deciding to jump back into a full-time role, I was very fortunate to work with Pam. She was a master at helping me craft an up-to-date resume to shift into a new career path. Pam has a keen eye for what employers want to see and is highly skilled at honing in on areas of expertise to highlight. She is a true professional who was knowledgeable, prompt, and responsive. Just as importantly, she was encouraging and supportive throughout the process. It’s clear she loves what she does—helping others be successful. Thank you, Pam!”
Vanessa H., Translator
Landed New Job in Desired Field
“When I was looking for a career shift, I engaged Pam for both career coaching and resume writing. I can not recommend Pam enough. Pam was professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. I landed a job in my newly desired career within a month of putting my resume out.”
Tina R., Program Management Executive
Found a New Opportunity He Loves
“There are many options for resume and CV development. Pam’s approach is more wholistic as she works with clients to identify core strengths and craft a career narrative and personal brand from one’s various work experiences. I loved our work on Super Powers! I definitely benefited from all the work we did together and found an opportunity that matched what I love doing. I HIGHLY recommend Pam to anyone looking to optimize their job search with up-to-date LinkedIn profiles and resumes. I would especially recommend Pam for folks eager to be more proactive in their careers as opposed to merely reactive and taking what comes along. Simply said, Pam’s awesome.”
Mark B., VP of Content & Creative Marketing
Revamped Job Search
“Pam was INCREDIBLE with her insights into modern application techniques, dos and don’ts, and general job hunt practices that got my job hunt on the right track. Within a short period of time after revamping my resume with her my hits from hiring managers and recruiters went up dramatically. Additionally, her kindness and compassion are an additional skill many career coaches don’t have and they were beyond appreciated during a very challenging time. She saw my value, was an intense listener, and helped refine my presentation to the job market so recruiters easily saw my potential. If you are looking for a Career Coach Pam will exceed your expectations and then some.”
Andy A., Account Executive
From No Response To Landing an Interview
“I was getting no responses from my Resume and once I worked with Pam I got an interview from the first job I applied for after Pam’s help! I could not recommend her enough for someone struggling with the job search!”
Zach K., Communications and Social Media
Found a Job After Working with Pam
“I engaged Pam Farone’s services because my job search was going off the rails – I was spinning my wheels and getting nowhere. In just five sessions, we corrected some interview missteps, went through my resume to get it focused, complete and ATS-friendly and did some mock interviewing. I found a job soon after working with Pam and truly believe it was the work we did on interviewing skills. I’d recommend Pam in a heartbeat. She’s effective, professional and a SME in her field.”
Chrissy J., Sr. Human Resources Business Partner
Transitioned from Mom to Ready-for-Work
“In as little as two sessions, Pam completely revamped my resume and changed my entire career strategy mindset. I had been a full-time parent for eight years and was looking to not only get back to work but also crossover from journalism to marketing. I was nervous about overcoming such a huge gap in my resume and felt out of touch with the current job market. Had too much time passed? Was I no longer relevant? But Pam dug through every line of my resume, LinkedIn profile AND portfolio website, pulling out little gems that I had overlooked, encouraging me to see that I possessed way more skills than I realized. The whole process made me realize that I really was a bad ass and that clients/employers would be lucky to have me! Going through this process gave me significantly greater confidence and that alone made the rest of the resume process much easier to do. I really appreciate Pam. She provided me with great insight into the minds of recruiters, employers AND ATS tracking systems. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Pam!!”
Milly S., Editor and Content Creator
Rocked the Interview and Landed a Dream Job
“Pam was recommended to me by a friend who used her services and got a job soon after. I needed an updated resume at the time. It was soon after that Covid hit and I lost my job. Through this difficult time, Pam was there to help. After working at my previous job for 15 years, I found that I was out of the loop on many things when it comes to getting a job. Pam helped me with it all. She was always checking to make sure things were working for me. The one part that stands out for me more than anything was the interview training she gave me. I never felt I needed that until I trained with her. After that, I rocked my interviews. Now I have my dream job and truly feel that I owe a lot of it to Pam. I will be forever grateful to her.”
Melissa B., Case Manager and Administrative Assistant
Landed a Job at Google
“It is my pleasure to write a STRONG recommendation for Pam Farone’s career services. Pam was able to work with me to highlight the skillsets within my work experience in a clear and concise manner. Pamela had the clear intention, vison & execution abilities to ensure my CV, Resume, Cover Letter & social networking profiles were ready to generate results on the job market. I highly recommend Pam’s interview coaching sessions. Pam’s coaching sessions helped guide my job strategy and sharpen interview skills via mock interviews. During the coaching sessions Pamela was able to provide constructive & honest feedback over the course of multiple sessions. Pam’s coaching sessions gave me a boost of confidence and new skills to enter the job market. Thanks Pam!”
Caim P., Documentation Management Leader
Daughter Moved From Hopeless to Hopeful!
“My daughter met with Pam tonight via a webinar session. (I was not in the meeting.) She had an amazing experience with her in that she felt Pam understood her. (I could easily tell this based on her words and expressions after their meeting!) She said she was almost in tears because she was so happy. Pam and she really connected!! After listening to her, Pam gave some thoughtful career paths for her to consider. WOW, her reaction after the call said it all. Relief, excitement. I could see her mind visualizing her future!!”
