AJO was an amazing help in my search. A consummate professional with great communication skills and an all-around awesome person.

Senior Director Business Development / Technology Consulting

Great job by AJO and all who supported me on my successful job search.

Compliance Manager / Finance/Accounting

My coach from AJO was an awesome coach who helped refine my interview skills and elevate my resume which improved my visibility to potential employers. Before working with AJO, I was applying to 10-15 jobs a day and not getting any responses. Within two weeks of working his coaching I was in the interview process with multiple companies. Through each step of the process, Neal made himself available to help guide me through all the way to the job offer. I would recommend him to anyone.

HR Manager / Retail/Food Services

I had an overwhelmingly positive experience working with AJO as I prepared for my new career. Her dedication, knowledge, and support were truly exceptional and made a significant impact on my transition. My Coach demonstrated a deep understanding of my career goals and my background. She took the time to listen to my concerns and provided valuable insights and advice tailored to my needs. Her attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that I was well-prepared for every step of the process. Thanks to AJO's expertise and support, I felt confident and prepared as I embarked on my new career. I am grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking career guidance and support.

Head of People and Culture / Human Resources

My AJO Coach was an amazing career counselor and advisor throughout my unemployment period, and was a fantastic coach throughout my Interviewing and offer negotiation process before starting my new job. I couldn’t be happier!

Senior Director, Lead of Medical Education and External Engagement / Healthcare

I do want to say a sincere thank you for your advice and guidance throughout this process. I am not going to lie, I was extremely skeptical at first as to how efficacious it would be. However, even after our first meeting, I started to see and feel how much of a difference it made. From the resume and LinkedIn profile building to the interview prep, I became a much stronger candidate. I honestly believe that I may not have caught the eye of my next employer without all of the support. I am grateful for these services and grateful that you were assigned to me as my coach. Your flexibility, accessibility, and honesty were truly impactful.

District HR Manager / Human Resources

AJO coaches are helping our leadership team transition to a culture of engagement, empowerment and coaching.
