Jenn is, without a doubt, an amazing career counselor. As a recent college graduate without a job, I struggled with my transition into the real business world. My resume and cover letters were mediocre, I didn’t know how to network, and I had no job search strategy. I knew I wanted a brand management job in a popular brand name company, but had no idea how to get one.  Although I loved all the lessons and strategies she taught me, what I loved most was simply talking to her. I could tell right off the bat during our first conversation that she is a very genuine, friendly person. And though I was full of complaints and pessimism towards the entire job search process, Jenn always remained positive and encouraging, which really kept me motivated. From my personal experience, I can confidently say that she wholeheartedly invests herself in helping her clients with everything she can. Jenn is unbelievably good at what she does so I highly recommend her to anyone searching for an experienced career counselor.

I met with Veronika for the last 3 months to talk about my desire to change my career. She was wonderful, warm, understanding (I really appreciate that as a European, she had to face the same problems) and really helped me to figure out what I wanted and how to get there. She was always on the top of everything. I strongly recommend her and if I have to go through this process again. I would definitely go with her again.

After 13 years with one company, that business was unexpectedly sold, and, at 50 years old, I found myself unemployed. What I quickly learned was that I was woefully out of touch with today’s vehicles and resources for job search. I began talking with Jenn at FPD and we began a series of exercises designed to get me thinking about the tools I already had at hand but had overlooked. Jenn’s highly personable manner has subtly prodded me to rediscover old goals and then address them in the current career climate. When I met Jenn, I was certain that with my education, experience, network, skills and talent, I didn’t need her professional help. EVERY person looking to make a career move, change, upgrade, or left-turn will benefit from Jenn’s professional counseling and her personal care, far more than he/she could imagine.

I can’t recommend Jenn strongly enough for anyone wanting to take their career to the next level. Without her guidance I would be making half-hearted searches on http://monster.com with no real idea of what I was looking for. She has given me direction, support and the confidence to find my ideal job. She has also helped focus my efforts in gaining readership for my creative writing blog (a subject dear to my heart!) Jenn is wonderful to work with and from day one I’ve been recommending her services to all my friends.

Jenn is absolutely the best. I brought her in to provide my team with training on The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Our team is about to go to through a major system conversion and I wanted to try to do some team exercises that will allow us to understand each other better. With Jenn’s simple but effective approach, she was able to teach us a lot about how each person fits into the team. I highly recommend Jenn and Festa Professional Development!

As anyone who has looked for work knows, the process is generally daunting and can be quite discouraging. For me, enlisting the help of Jenn Giordano has proven to be a tremendous asset in both organizing my efforts into more manageable parts and in bolstering my morale. Jenn is able to provide not only expert technical assistance (for example, in building and tailoring resumes, or identifying potential employment options that had not occurred to me) but also the “human touch” in knowing when to console and when to prod for action. I recommend her to job seekers without hesitation or reservation.

Adriana really helped me re-calibrate my career goals and objectives and exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Not to mention, our work together resulted in the achievement of one of my short term goals; to get hired.

Some of the key areas she helped me in were:
-Highlighting and creating skill value statements
-Providing a framework and helping prepare for interview questions
-Teaching me a process to revise and customize my resume and cover letters

I highly recommend Adriana, she has a wide range of experience and expertise and is extremely personable and professional. She is very flexible and quickly helped me focus on the important tasks I needed to achieve. Adriana’s other important quality is that she genuinely cares about her clients.”
