Success Stories

  • Navigating a major career transition can be overwhelming, but having Rosalie as a trusted advisor made all the difference. As I moved from a longstanding career in higher education into the dynamic, fast-paced world of a workforce development startup, Rosalie provided me with guidance, thoughtful advice, and candid perspective I needed at every step. She helped me advocate for myself with clarity and confidence, ensuring I considered not just the immediate details of a job offer, but the broader career implications that would shape my goals now and for years to come.

  • Working with Rosalie Gelso Shemmer has been a transformative experience in my professional journey. After my position was unexpectedly eliminated as a result of financial challenges, she helped me craft stronger, more focused resumes and cover letters, and guided me in identifying and articulating my core strengths with clarity and confidence. Through her coaching, I significantly improved my interview performance and gained a broader perspective on how my skills could translate across different career paths. Rosalie’s insights, encouragement, and strategic approach have been invaluable.

  • Early in the process, Rosalie analyzed the job description for the position I was preparing to apply for. She reviewed the position listing and my previous experience and prepared in-depth questions for me to consider. I sat down and wrote out my answers which helped me clarify my interests in the position and professional aspirations. We then met to discuss. Rosalie listened carefully to my answers and had some follow up questions. She was an active and engaged listener and this helped me clarify my unique qualifications and experience. This got me excited! I felt more confident. This part of the process was especially helpful to me when writing my cover letter and preparing for the interview.
