“Rebranding yourself is not an easy feat. When I met Ernest, I needed to build a career narrative with little to no guidance, and his help was unmatched. He set clear objectives, provided practical and actionable steps, and gave personalized feedback and next steps that catapulted my career journey and gave me confidence in my narrative. I am grateful for his specialized skill set and natural expertise in not just understanding people, but also in helping with whatever career needs you have. I will definitely be using his services again!”

I was seeking guidance on navigating Baruch while looking for insight into a career in finance. Ernest’s expertise and dedication were exactly what I needed. He offered clear, strategic advice while providing personalized feedback. He boosted my confidence and helped me establish a solid career path. Ernest’s deep understanding of career development and networking is exceptional. Ernest wants to see you succeed, not only in your professional career but in life as well.
