Hear from others who have been coached by Jason
“Prior to working with Jason, I felt like many college graduates navigating the complexities of recruiting: “I don’t have the right experience” or “I was just on the team, I didn’t do anything”. I was in a dead-end job looking to escape the monotony of data entry and general admin work. That all changed when I connected with Jason. He took a personal interest in my career aspirations and was honest about the opportunities I had and the companies that would most align with my values. Jason identified the “golden nuggets” in my prior roles and experiences, built my confidence, developed my resume, and coached me to tell my stories in interviews. This ultimately led to securing multiple offers well above my expected salary range. Four years ago, I was pushing paper in an hourly contractor role, and I’m now the category manager for a $200MM+ budget at a leading CPG Brand. WOW!”
Taylor G - Marketing Category Manager, Global Beverage Company
“Jason is amazing! His coaching not only made me competitive, but truly set me apart. From transforming my resume to interview prep, he ensured I showcased my best talents and experiences for each specific role, helping me land my dream job and truly step-changing my career trajectory. After getting involved with my company's recruitment efforts and being on the other side, receiving resumes and interviewing candidates that Jason has prepared, it is clear that he is remarkable at what he does, and my colleagues agree. Jason's candidates' resumes get them in the door, and their crisp interviews give them an edge.”
Nia D - Finance Manager, Global Consumer Products Company
“I owe Jason so much! After a few years in a new career, I had very unique experience that was difficult to communicate when looking for next roles. I reached out to Jason for help, and he showed me how to make a cohesive narrative and effectively communicate my story. I was selected for an exceptionally competitive senior role typically reserved for much more experienced candidates. I would recommend Jason to anyone who wants to improve their resume, sharpen their interview skills, or advance their career in any way.”
Jesse M - Sales Leader, Global Technology Company
“When I talk with friends who've used Jason for resume coaching, we say it was “Rifed” because it’s as good as it will ever be! Can’t say enough good things about Jason and how he gets people ready to explain their value to companies looking for game-changing talent.”
Ty M - Management Consultant & Military Veteran
“Jason was such an asset during my career search. I was making a big jump from education to finance, and he helped me pull out transferable skills that strengthened my resume, provided specific strategies to help me prepare for and gain confidence in interviewing (a previously huge block for me), and ultimately helped me land a job at a Big Four bank. I cannot recommend Jason enough!”
Shannon F - Senior Associate, Investment Finance
“There are a lot of coaches out there who simply tell you what to do. The thing I appreciate most about Jason is his ability to listen. He brings years of real world experience, deep industry connections, and thousands of hours of coaching expertise into every coaching session. Jason also always puts in the time to get to know the individual he is working with. He listened to my past experiences, my present situation, and my future hopes and dreams before giving me advice. This personal approach helped give me direction and clarified my own purpose at a critical juncture in my career.”
John W - Business Analytics, Global Technology Company
“Jason was an incredible coach to me in the process of landing my dream job. He took the time to understand my background and experience and helped me craft the story, highlighting points most relevant to the company. We conducted several mock interviews that were followed by constructive and incredible feedback. It only took one chance with my dream company to get the job due to Jason's intensive preparation. More than a coach, he is invested in your career.”
Laura G - Product Manager, Global Pharmaceutical Company
“Jason is the real deal. Trust me, you have no idea how much opportunity for growth you have until you work with Jason the first time. He helped me to really understand my experiences and aspirations, to own that narrative through my resume and my interviewing skills, and to broaden the way I think about solving problems to prepare me for that next opportunity. Not only did I get my dream job as a result of working with Jason, but I've become a better business leader because of his coaching.”
Zachary K - Senior Operations Manager, Global Transportation & Services Company
“Every once in a while, you meet someone who has found their true calling in life - career coaching is Jason’s. He knows what hiring managers are looking for and he can teach you how to be their ideal candidate, as he has done for thousands of others.”
Kerry S - Corporate Finance, Global Consumer Electronics Company
“My mock interview with Jason was the most helpful coaching I have ever received in my life. I have historically had issues landing jobs from interviews, but I could never figure out the root cause. I worked with multiple interview and resume coaches at my undergrad - my resume and interviews were “good”, but never “great”. I struggled for years to improve on my own with the research I could do online. Jason’s coaching was extremely specific and thorough. He ripped my resume apart to create a vastly improved one targeted to the jobs I wanted most. Even I was impressed with myself after reading through the refined resume! He then walked me through the “why” of interview questions so I could get better insight into the interviewers perspective, gave me the absolute hardest mock interview of my life, and finally walked me through specific steps to mold my stories into amazing, relevant answers. The process isn’t easy, but if you give 100%, Jason will give you 120%, and you will succeed.”
Jason L - Corporate Finance, Global Energy Company
“Jason has made a huge impact on my personal life. I am now proud and confident in my resume due to the methodology that Jason taught me, and the interview techniques he gave me have empowered me to stand out, differentiating myself from other candidates. These skills have not only helped me, but also countless others as I have passed on this knowledge to friends and family. I am incredibly thankful to have had Jason as my career coach during my time in grad school, and I highly recommend him and his services.”
Jamil A - Senior Finance Manager, Global Restaurant Company
“Jason was an integral resource during my career search. He put in the time to get to know me as an individual, and the roles that would suit my skills and personality. With his unique background, he was able to educate me on the rigorous lifestyle of consulting, while also working with me to adjust my resume to convey the messaging that resonates with recruiters. With his help, I landed an excellent role, where I have been able to take my career to new heights. To this day, I still find myself leaning on his principles around preparation, self marketing, and communicating business impact.”
Andrew H - Senior Manager, Management Consulting
“Jason's approach to career coaching is straightforward, analytical, and consultative in nature. His coaching style helped me assess how my prior career experiences would resonate with my target companies. In addition, Jason's interview preparation readied me to effectively communicate my career narrative in a way that aligned my career trajectory with my new employer. I highly recommend working with Jason as a career coach to help activate your career goals.”
Will M - Director, Global Technology Company
“Working with Jason as I prepared to make a rather drastic career change allowed me to effectively communicate my transferable skills and vast experiences in a way that showcased my value. Our sessions on resume building, interview prep and career strategy ultimately set me up for success, landing my dream job at a Fortune 50 company. Had I not had Jason’s coaching and expertise, I may not have been as successful in standing out amongst thousands of other applicants.”
Carolina P - HR, Global Technology Company
“Jason was an instrumental resource in getting my business career started and has continued to be an incredible asset when weighing later career decisions. Coming from a military background, translating my experience to language that could be understood by the average hiring manager presented a real challenge. Jason leveraged his immense experience and was able to work with me to make my resume both strong and easy to interpret. Additionally, Jason gave great coaching and guidance on what hiring managers want. After working together, I received several strong offers from desirable Fortune 50 companies. I cannot overstate the value Jason added to my candidacy during the job-seeking process. Highly recommended!”
Gene N - Senior Operations Manager, National Retailer & Military Veteran
“I can offer no higher recommendation for Jason's coaching. Targeting a consulting role, I was impressed by Jason’s experience as an ex-consultant, and he quickly taught me to effectively communicate my accomplishments for those roles. We started with my resume and then moved to interview preparation (including case-interviews), where he helped me get over my anxiety, bring my best self to the interview, and land the job with my top-choice firm. I still use Jason's lessons years later – during the recent uncertain job market, I applied his techniques to secure an amazing management role with one of the world's top tech companies.”
Thomas M - Sourcing Manager, Global Technology Company
“Jason has a knack for helping you understand your likes and dislikes, translating that into an aspirational career path. When I first met Jason, he pegged from the get go the right career pivot for me. He then helped me work toward that goal, providing the right support and coaching that I needed to land the right role with the right company.”
Kate O - Manager, Strategy Consulting
“I met Jason during a significant career transition and he really helped me evaluate my options and provided expert guidance. Jason's real life job experiences and success in business and higher education make him an excellent coach for those seeking career advice. In addition, he is fluent in the languages of resumes and job applications and can help anyone improve their written and verbal presentation skills. I highly recommend Jason if you are looking for advice in these areas.”
Adam B - VP of Sales, Technology Firm
“Jason’s tried and tested approach to career, interview, and resume counseling has been a key driver in helping me to secure an ideal job with my target employer and has also enabled me to more than double my annual salary in the past six years. Jason Rife delivers results.”
Jon C - Finance Manager, Renewable Energy
“If you want to be the best, you need to be coached by the best! Jason was instrumental in helping me pivot my career from academia into the corporate world. He taught me everything I know about positioning myself to companies, crafting the perfect resume, and nailing the interview. His coaching enabled me to secure three offers, despite having no business experience, because he taught me how to leverage my experience and highlight my potential to add value. There's no one better out there at preparing you for your career search than Jason, and I would highly recommend his coaching for anyone looking to take that next step in their careers.”
Nicolas R - Marketing Brand Manager, Global Beverage Company
“Jason is an absolute expert at what he does. His ability to help you tell your story on your resume opens doors for you and his coaching methods ensure you never find yourself in a situation for which you weren’t prepared. In addition to helping me land a job, he also taught me so much about executive presence and communicating complex material to high level stakeholders that helps me daily.”
