Testimonials

My Next Great Step advisor was a tremendous wealth of knowledge and a very effective career counselor. We worked together on how to market myself to businesses by exploiting my education, core skills and past work experiences. Prior to working with NGS, my past interviews had produced no positive outcomes. Through a clearly defined step by step program, NGS helped guide me in learning and applying the necessary tools to produce successful outcomes.

I have had the pleasure of working with Next Great Step for about 9 months, when my advisor assisted me while finding a new job post-grad, as well as transitioning to another job. My advisor did not only help answer my emails with questions and edits at 11pm, but asked thought provoking questions that brought out my strengths and core skills for interviews. I would recommend Next Great Step to any college student, graduate or young professional looking to improve their professional facet. I look forward to continuing my work with NGS.

I had the great experience of working with my NGS coach for 8 sessions. I felt that her approach was very helpful, informative and efficient. She helped me gain a lot of clarity and confidence by helping me identify and hone in on what my core skills are. I gained a better understanding of how to present myself consistently and more accurately to potential employers and networking connections. I now feel much more confident and prepared going into any professional conversation. I would definitely recommend her services to any students or recent graduates looking for guidance when it comes to approaching their careers.

I had a positive experience working with Next Great Step. My career coach always had a flexible schedule, making it easy to schedule our sessions. With her help, I was able to identify and strengthen my core skills. NGS was able to assist me in effectively networking internally during my internship. In addition, NGS helped me formulate clear explanations of my accomplishments to my intern manager, allowing me to become more visible throughout a large bank. I truly believe that NGS’s advice was one of the reasons I received a full-time offer.

The Next Great Step team was amazing! I worked with them the summer before my Junior year. The biggest takeaway for me was solidifying my core skills. Having these established skills is very valuable in an interview because you already know your examples and experiences that you can connect to the job. Also the Next Great Step team laid out the material so it was easy to follow and implement on your own. Their notes on networking have been extremely helpful to me in my search for internships.

I had the pleasure of working with Next Great Step for four months during my search for a job. While working with my career coach, I was able to fully understand what my greatest strengths and skills were as well as how to convey them to employers. She was very helpful throughout my interview process and while building my network. My advisor is very professional, very flexible with her time and is always available with advice and tips. As finding jobs becomes increasingly difficult, I am very grateful to have NGS alongside.

Next Great Step worked with our daughter who felt lost after graduating from a very prestigious private Boston area university. Finding that her school’s career counseling department didn’t live up to the hype they promised when visiting as a prospective student, but instead found their version of job-search help amounted to directing her to websites. NGS’s help was targeted and professionally done, with insight into what the other side is looking for in a candidate. Her advisor continues to follow up with our daughter even after she’s been working for awhile to make sure she continues to pursue her job goals. We could not speak highly enough about the professional advice, guidance and reassurance NGS has provided for our daughter.

I had the opportunity to work with Next Great Step when I needed guidance in my career aspirations. My advisor is very professional in every aspect of her work, which is one of the first things that drew me to her. She works hard to help her clients and to find their skills as a person. She also helped me with my interviewing skills, which were very beneficial for when I went on interviews. She will push you to work hard on assignments because it will only help you in the end. Everything she does has a purpose. Trust in her process and you will be better prepared for interviews and future career goals. It was a true pleasure to work with Next Great Step.

We are so pleased with how Next Great Step helped our son to land a job. The work he did with your firm helped him understand his strengths and allowed him to get focused on a specific functional area that fit his personality and career objectives. I am happy to let you know that he recently accepted a job as a sales representative for a logistics firm. Your services were a very worthy investment and we appreciate the impactful result that you were able to help him achieve. I will be sure to recommend your firm to friends and colleagues that have college kids/grads.

NGS helped me to not only figure out what I can offer professionally but to also gain confidence in that. As someone who had some trouble knowing exactly what I wanted and had a lot of directions I could go, my NGS advisors helped me to distill my skills into the core ones, taught me how to talk about my professional achievements and goals, and how important connection is when it comes to professional advancement, whether it be getting your first job or building a valuable professional network. I am now (very happily) employed with high and growing confidence in my professional skills and abilities. This program was so beneficial to me and to my future, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to jumpstart their career after college. Thank you so much!

I can’t thank Next Great Step enough for helping me practice my interviewing skills. As a Junior, it was crucial for me to get an internship for the summer and with the skills my advisor taught me, I was able to accomplish this. She was able to work with me over video conference while I was abroad, and was still capable of giving me the tips I needed to obtain an internship- even with being 3,000 miles away. I would 100% recommend NGS’s services to anyone struggling with the job process.

The Next Great Step team have been amazing to work with! Through our 6 sessions, they were able to give me the confidence and tools necessary to excel in any interview or meeting. By helping me focus in on my core skills and identifying how I can help an organization, gave me the confidence that was needed in myself. I can’t recommend them enough!.

Working with Next Great Step was an extremely enjoyable and helpful experience. My advisor helped me better identify my core skills, which improved the way I presented both myself and my past experiences better during interviews. I landed my first job out of college after just two meetings, and can’t thank NGS enough for their help.

After working with Next Great Step, I was able to clarify my personal goals that led me to successfully get hired for my first job out of college. I gained a concrete understanding on how to approach the process. NGS taught me how to go beyond asking simple interview questions and truly think about what I need to know about a company. I would highly recommend NGS as they truly educate you on how to enhance your career search skills.
