Testimonials
“My career coaching experience with Mario was extremely helpful as it enabled me to take stock in where I’ve been from a career standpoint and determine what changes could enhance the next phase of my career. The mock interview was particularly eye-opening because I got to see me through the eyes of a prospective employer and really scrutinize my value proposition.”

“I began working with Mario Flores in August 2011 after undergoing a RIF at my employer of 17 years. Mario was a very good counselor and coach during this difficult period. He was able to guide me through the multiple actions required to find my next great position. His expertise and professional encouragement resulted in a strong foundation for my job search, which resulted in an excellent new opportunity in January 2012. I am certain his coaching skills made this journey less painful and more efficient. I would highly recommend him to others that require Professional Coaching in the future.”
–Mary Kay Galvin, Sales & Marketing Executive in the Digital Printing Industry
“My coaching experience with Mario Flores was pivotal in assessing how my search should evolve. Many of my search techniques were strengthened by Mario’s suggestions and insights. My interviewing techniques were also strengthened by fair and objective assessments of my verbal communications and how to better engage my audience through active listening. Mario helped me realize that your interviewing skills need to be reviewed, refreshed and fine-tuned to achieve success.”
–Kevin Payne, Telecommunications Company Executive
“My position was eliminated after working 11+ years for the same company and understandably I was devastated. Career transition was part of my exit package and I thought how helpful can this really be? I am happy to say I was wrong, the experience proved to be very helpful. Mario Flores was wonderful to work with!! He is easy to talk to and worked with me on the usual stuff, updating my resume, etc. While that is very important I feel that Mario’s support went beyond “the usual stuff” because I now had someone who could not only give me outside perspective on my job search, but was someone I could talk to who gave me the encouragement and confidence that I needed when going on interviews. Mario, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
–Bonnie Laufer-Beuck, Human Resource Professional in the Healthcare Industry
