Before FYFC, I felt lost, no sense of direction, and a lack of confidence in my ability to successfully transition into a new career. I did not know my high-value interest areas or the reasons I kept leaving my varied positions before. FYFC allowed me to separate myself from my career and concentrate once really important. 

I cannot say it enough how much the clarity I got from this program has truly impacted my life. I have been able to be more intentional when updating my resume and cover letter. I began securing interviews at more aligned organizations! Honestly, the confidence and insight I have into who I am is priceless.

Before FYFC, I was bored in my career but didn't have the language to tell anyone how to help me. I also didn't have any way to create a plan to change my situation. It left me feeling stuck.

After the program, I clarified exactly what my zone of genius was, which was something I would never have discovered on my own. Clarifying my values helped me establish my boundaries and exactly what I didn't want to do. I also had the language to job search effectively and communicate what I wanted and not settle. I job searched peacefully and secured a role that is a really good fit with a $20,000 increase. And I didn't even have to move!

I was spinning my wheels in my job search! I would get FOMO from the jobs I saw and rush to apply. I had a really hard time marketing myself for the roles I wanted or even figuring out what roles I wanted! I was wasting a lot of time and was tired of using free online resources.

FYFC really helped me see and understand my worth and I got tangible concrete materials I could apply at every step of the process. I never felt lost during this process. That level of support helped to reduce my anxiety and increase my efficiency in job searching. I landed a new job with a $55,000 salary increase and know that I have the agency to find any job that I truly want.

Everything I tried felt purposeless like I was just trying to get as many applications in as possible. But, I was tired of feeling stuck. I just knew I was destined to be doing more and my current job made me feel like I was moving backwards. I did not want to keep trying the same thing expecting a different result, that only added to my stress.  

The interviewing resources in FYFC really helped, as well as the strategies on using LinkedIn to grow my network. The job search tracker was also super helpful in navigating all the rejections I received. I ended up receiving a job offer at my number one choice company and an increase of $37,000 in my salary - $17,000 more than I asked God for!

I was looking for a slight career change and didn’t know how to make all my “unrelated” skills and responsibilities look more transferable for the job I wanted. 

I used the resume resources to create a resume that pulled together my experiences in a cohesive narrative. I used the cover letter strategies to talk about my experiences and I landed the job! I’ve used this system three times and landed the job every single time. My salary has since increased by $30,000.

The interview resources and examples in the program and the guidance I got on developing my answers and being prepared were so specific that they helped me feel prepared. The questions it said to expect were so much stronger than another career coaching program I did. 

I had interviews with multiple people for this role, and was able confidently and consistently navigate all of my responses. Plus, the negotiation resources were very helpful. I secured the role with a $20K salary increase.

Before FYFC, I didn't know what I truly liked or valued and how I'd go about changing my field. I feared failure and had low optimism about whether a fulfilling career could be possible for me. I tried other career coaches but they were very unstructured.

FYFC gave me the structure and organization I've been needing for several years. I quit my extremely toxic job and industry that I've been miserable in for so many years. I became debt free and saved up enough money to take a few months off before I venture into something more in alignment with my being - teaching. 

I believe in myself more after FYFC. It made me more aware of what I want and would be good at in the career world. I move with more ease, confidence, and clarity in life. I got rid of the fears I had been holding onto for multiple years.

I was really down and out about my career. My current job was frustrating, draining, and I clearly wasn't on a track to...anywhere. I’ve had so many wins in FYFC! I realized that I was indeed worthy of a fulfilling career, learned about my transferrable skills, and how I wouldn't need to start from scratch to land a fulfilling role.

I realized how important my values and interests were to finding a fulfilling career, and more importantly, how my current role was basically the opposite of my values and interests. I was waaaaay out of alignment! I am so excited about the potential careers and I couldn't tell you the last time I felt that way about work!

I secured an aligned job doing work that is so meaningful at a new company - an upgrade from my previous role with a massive salary increase, fully remote!

I had a "good" job on the surface but I didn't feel satisfied and felt like a part of my life was missing but had no clue what it was. FYFC helped me build confidence and courage to tell my parents how I was feeling in my career… and they supported me! Deep down I was afraid they would be disappointed with me; I had a lot of self-dialogue and fear of communicating.

I am now so much more confident about my direction and know what I’m good at and what I want in my next fulfilling role. All the tools in the program were so helpful! FYFC gave me a direction in my career and the confidence to move in that direction.

Before FYFC, I just had a negative mindset and felt stuck. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do and was scared of picking wrong or making mistakes. I had so many big results in the program! Seeing my negative mindsets, realizing fear is okay to have and finding a way to push past it, believing in myself and the possibilities. Finding out I knew myself all along, I just didn't feel confident before. I just needed a hand to hold along the way and I had Tega and the rest of my group, wonderful and encouraging ladies. Realizing I had skills when I thought I didn't. And then to top it off narrowing jobs down to 3 careers, any of which I would absolutely LOVE to do! I've never had so much clarity and that has given me new excitement and motivation about my future.

Before FYFC, I don’t really know what my skills and talents are, and I’m not sure even if I did, I would know how to apply them to a fulfilling career rather than just a job. I wanted a career that God has willed for me and for which I am able to give Him ultimate glory. I joined FYFC because of Tega’s God-first approach, I also love that the program has lifetime access 😊 After FYFC, I’m now super clear about what my interests are and have a different mindset regarding job searching!

Before the program, I didnt have a clear path as to what I was interested in, what I valued at work/in general, or a way to start figuring these things out. I enrolled in the program because I felt it was more than a resume building class like the other offerings I had seen. I think the highlights/wins of FYFC were the sessions spent analyzing the results of the inventories we completed. It is one thing to have the results; it is another thing to know how to apply them. Another win was sharing space with women who were in the same position as me even though they are in different parts of their lives.

I was feeling stuck. I didn’t have the work-life balance I wanted and knew I needed to do something else. But once I start looking at positions that I think will pay me well, I feel like I cannot apply because my experience does not match up. FYFC helped me reflect on what I wanted, my values, and interests. Since completing FYFC I have realized that I had been going about job searching the wrong way. Rather than matching myself up with a job, I realized I needed to match up my values to the job and transferable skills. I feel content being able to verbally say what I want from my next career.
