TESTIMONIAL:
Take a peek at what some students had to share about their experience with Luminated Career Consulting.
I thought the meeting was definitely what I needed for my current stage. I've been struggling to figure out what kind of career or industry I want to pursue so having the meeting really helped to point me in the right direction and know what steps I need to take in order to figure it out.
- Nella Kwan, University of Washington, Class of 2016
My experience was overall really positive. It was a great experience to sit down and talk with someone about what it was that I want, especially since I'm still trying to discover that myself. Any help on how to get ahead in the process was great.
- Patrick Carney, University of Washington, Class of 2017
Fantastic! I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the meeting, but talking through career steps, strategies, and the thought exercise were what I needed. I am/was out of touch with the employment economy, so it was really great touching base about it and all the relating bits.
