Testimonials from Clients

“I highly recommend Martha Hayworth as a Career Consultant. Having worked close with Martha, I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, supportive, and creative. Initially, I sought Martha’s assistance to clarify my career goals and help me on the path to an ideal job. Our sessions expanded into a number of areas including resume development, interview coaching and strategizing, and salary negotiations. When a promising job became available, I successfully interviewed, knowing that my confidence during the process was attributed to Martha’s guidance and insight. Thanks to her support, I secured the position. However, I will continue to work with Martha, because we have developed such a strong professional bond, and I trust in her abilities to provide the direction for a truly satisfying and rewarding career.”

Not only did she provide the structure and guidance to help me identify my strengths and weaknesses; Martha helped me put my aspirations and goals into the context of my personal values.
