I worked with Bethany Greenley with VelvetJobs and she was incredible. I felt like she genuinely cared about equipping me to find my next role with a company. She checked in regularly and stayed up to date on who I was interviewing with and where I was in the process. Bethany did a great job of encouraging me through the process as well as giving me insights through this time on what she was seeing in the job market space in general. Prior to my first interview she instructed me to send her the job posting so she could anticipate interview questions and she did a mock interview with me. This was very useful as it had been a long time since I was on that end of an interview. I also received lots of compliments on my resume that she helped me build. I would definitely recommend VelvetJobs and specifically Bethany for anyone having to navigate through a shift in their career.

I am pleased to recommend VelvetJobs for job placement and resume coaching. Bethany Greenley has been my outplacement counselor. Bethany assisted early on by reformatting my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile to prepare more professional-looking versions and provide a second set of eyes for accuracy. Most importantly, Bethany regularly follows up, provides caring feedback, and encourages me to remain positive during a challenging job market.

I had the opportunity to work with Bethany Greenlee at VelvetJobs as part of my outplacement process after a company restructure. Bethany and the team promptly communicated with me, providing clear steps to take as I considered options for my next career. She also proactively set weekly check-in's. Bethany's resume audit and overhaul, LinkedIn consulting, and interview coaching services helped me while I navigated multiple VP Marketing role opportunities. I ultimately went into launching my own advisory business, but the deliverables I received from Bethany's bespoke coaching have been incredibly useful for attracting and securing new clients and have given me a renewed sense of confidence in my leadership abilities.

VelvetJobs has been life changing for me in my next and best opportunity. Their Outplacement program really lives up to its name, providing top-notch support and resources. The dedicated 1:1 career coaching was a game-changer - my coach, Bethany Greenley, was fabulous. From our very first meeting, she was able to see my skills, and more importantly, see ME. She helped me find the confidence to say out loud what I was really destined to do - to start my own coaching business. She validated my aspirations and pointed out the skills I had to make it happen. The personalized transition support and professional branding services, like resume and cover letter writing, were top-notch. Yes, it was all me, and the very best version of me up to that point on ‘paper’! Sometimes it’s hard to toot your own horn, but Bethany did a phenomenal job at presenting me way better than I could have imagined. If you're looking for a job or considering a career change, I highly recommend giving VelvetJobs a try. Their team is dedicated to helping you succeed, and believe me, it makes a world of difference.

After using their service with the help from Christina, I just signed my offer letter with the company I have been wanting to work for. I applied with them in January of this year and was denied. After help from Christina on my resume, I went through 3 interviews and nailed the job. Would highly highly recommend.
