Engineer w/4-yr gap

$13K above asking

Coveted Director Role

$50K Increase

I'd been out of the industry for 4 1/2 years. I'd sent out resumes and not hear any callbacks. Patricia pulled gold I didn't even know was in me. I got past the head trash I'd had for 4 years. I then made more progress in 4 wks than in the prior 4 yrs and got $13k above my goal.

If you're tired of beating your head against the wall, I highly highly recommend Patricia Ortega.

- Mitchell G.

A to Z, she was there. She really helped me have some breakthroughs... making sure that I wasn't selling myself short — I highly recommend her, no doubt.

I just don't think I could have done it without her.

You won't regret it, definitely worth the investment, 100%!

I Doubled My Salary!

$72K Increase

I hadn't applied for a job in over a decade. Coaching addressed every concern: branding, resume, job search, interviews, and negotiation. I never thought I’d negotiate my salary, but, I learned that there’s a tactical way to do it.And so, I got a Campaign Communications Manager role with a $23,000 salary increase.

Coaching gave me tools I can use for the rest of my life and moral support that lifted me when I felt down. It’s totally worth it!

- Melanie

I was employed as an engineer and my salary was $73K, and I had a really successful interview with a company that offered me double that... $145K and a relocation package and sign-on bonus with benefits and stock options.

This is a company where I can grow professionally and technically. Coaching helped me break that mindset with any insecurities and just embrace them as a strength. Now I'm less conflicted and more confident.

Six-Figure Dream Fulfilled

Hired in 26 Days

God-Sent Meeting!

It's a hundred percent worth it. You're going to learn tools that you're gonna carry on. Tools that you could possibly even share with people, someone who's struggling in like your own family. Tools that you will learn in order to move one faster through the process.

So honestly, the whole process, I'm gonna take it with me, which is a huge thing for me to have as an asset. It really helps me feel like, oh wow, I'm not afraid of having to look (for a job) somewhere else anymore.

- Cindy P.

I have not interviewed or looked for a job in forever.

I was starting to feel that pressure that I was up against a huge wall that I wasn't gonna be able to scale by myself.

I knew information that I wasn't conveying or that I didn't know how to convey, but she helped me begin to work through that.

If anything happens, I'd go back to Patricia again in a heartbeat.

KATE LENTIN, CREATIVE PROJECT MANAGER

I wholeheartedly recommend working with Patricia Ortega—she is the real deal! Working with her gave me the clarity I needed in my job search and boosted my confidence to go after what I truly wanted. Patricia understands the job market and, most importantly, understands people. You’ll feel fully supported by a true career search professional in every aspect. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her. Thank you, Patricia!

KOREY STOECKEL, BENEFITS AND RETIREMENT MANAGER

I could not ever recommend Patricia Ortega enough. I loved working with her and can honestly say that she created a massive shift in me. She saw my career through a new (and extraordinarily talented) set of eyes and helped me realize what value I would bring to my next employer. You may not realize just how much you needed her until you begin working with her - I know I didn't. I recommend her to anyone in need of assistance with their job search! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MARYN PARKER, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT (LATEST ROLE: LAND DEVELOPMENT MANAGER)

I fortunately stubbled upon Patricia's Podcasts and found myself saving every single one!... Patricia took all the parts of me personally and professionally that I thought were broken and pieced me back together. She showed up for me in ways that were unexpected and has pushed outside my comfort zone to shape and redefine who Ashley is. Patricia curated a resume...where you can really see me as a candidate that would add value to many organizations... Thank you so much, you have impacted my life in more ways than I can put into words! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

KIM WARGA, SENIOR ART DIRECTOR

Patricia helped me understand how to craft a resume that "speaks to" each prospective employer.... (so I could) stand out among the masses. Her suggestions made it so easy to change how I thought, and she actually made this process rather enjoyable. I would recommend Patricia to anyone who is having difficulties conveying the right information on their resumes and portfolios. She's so brilliant and lovely to talk to!

JEANNE ZAPTIN, PROGRAM DIRECTOR

...From the very first session, she impressed me because she was very prepared and organized and had ideas before we even got started, “This is where I see you... This is how I could support you..."

She helped me realize I had the ability to stay at the same level of income while looking at positions outside of Technology and still advance. We even completed more than what I expected with writing a career story and defining my "It" factor. I can use this story for many other parts of the career process. I'm truly thankful for her leadership in this process.

NICOLE DUNCAN, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

Patricia leads with a kind soul and a servant heart. She magnifies quiet strength that leaves lasting impact. Speaking with Patricia felt like exhaling for the first time in a long while. I felt completely at ease, free to explore my thoughts, emotions, and professional story without fear of judgment.

Her presence is grounded and insightful, and her questions are the kind that stay with you. In just one conversation, she helped me uncover strengths I’d overlooked and aligned my profile with who I truly am, not just what I’ve done. More than just elevating my professional brand, Patricia gave me a deeper understanding of where I want my career to go. I don’t want to "fall" into my next role. I want to step into it with purpose. If you need help finding your clarity and confidence, Patricia's your gal!
