If you're thinking about whether or not it's worth it to retain Dr. Judy Kaplan Baron's services it's up to you but I know my decision to work with Judy was the best money I've ever spent. She gave me structure and put together a game plan that helped build my confidence to perform at a high level. If you listen and do the work she will get you to your goals.
I was struggling in my current position getting passed up for one promotion after another and sought out Judy to help find the right career for me. In a very short time she had me focused and when the next opportunity in my company came open I performed beyond my expectations and was offered the promotion. Our work is not done but in the meanwhile my income and status in my company has been greatly increased.

When I hired Judy, I increased my value. When I increased my value, I increased the number of opportunities from those who value me and were willing to reward me in kind. Judy champions clients to put forth their best throughout the interview process packing more information in any given minute than any other consultant, of any type, that I have ever worked with. She’s done this for myself and for all those I’ve referred to her. Of pivotal value, is her adept understanding of the various hiring practices and what goes on in the mind of the interviewer. If you’re like me, what you really wanting to know is: will she successfully coach me to negotiate a higher salary? The answer is – Yes!! So if you really want something better for yourself – take the initiative and hire her first.

I graduated from San Diego State University with a B.S. in Finance in 2008 and was unable to secure an entry-level job in Finance despite shining credentials, a year and a half of looking, and applying to hundreds of jobs posted online. Then in December 2010, my employer announced that they were closing our district office and would be providing outplacement services. They authorized six, one-hour sessions to see Judy Kaplan Baron, Ph. D., a certified career counselor.

Judy helped me rework my résumé and gave me pointers on writing an effective cover letter. When she was satisfied with our improvements, she told me to start applying for jobs. In less than a week, I received three calls for interviews. At my next session, Judy gave me a practical solution for answering tough interview questions as well as answering hypothetical questions. She also wrote an effective introduction and conclusion that I could use for my interviews and told me to go on as many interviews as I could for practice.

The following week I gained a phone interview with a Fortune 500 company. Using Judy’s interviewing method, I did very well and was invited to a half day of on-site interviews. I was extremely nervous, but used Judy’s interviewing approach to prepare the night before. Judy’s advice and my hard work paid off. I finally got my first financial analyst job, making more money than I anticipated at a great company and beating out hundreds of applicants all vying for a highly competitive position.

With Judy’s help, you will not just get a job, but the job you really want. She guided me throughout the whole process by helping me believe in my skills and really sell myself. Her encouraging words kept me focused and determined. I never dreamed I would go from failed job hunts and facing layoff to finally landing a great position in the field I love all within three months. I will turn to Judy for her services at every critical juncture in my career as I continue to climb the corporate ladder.

To Judy: You coached me this past February 2010 just prior to my promotion board interviews. There were 50 other applicants going through the same process. Using the techniques you shared with me, I placed #1 on the results list. Thank You. To anyone researching a place to get some interview help, I would recommend Judy Kaplan Baron. She is very direct and respectful of your time and money. She gets right to business and is very efficient and effective.

The medical school admissions process is complex, challenging, competitive, and both mentally and physically exhausting. Dr. Baron's guidance was invaluable in helping me get into one of my top choices for medical school. I was so incredibly nervous about how to properly approach the interviews. I was a candidate with great extracurriculars and I graduated from Stanford University with an excellent GPA. Nonetheless, I was clueless about articulating my application and the themes obvious in my background during an interview.

Dr. Baron knew me better than I knew myself! She took the time and initiative to familiarize herself with my personal statements and my life experiences. We thoroughly discussed interview etiquette and more than 150 possible questions - I was ready for anything! I walked out of my real interviews smiling, confident, and thankful I had Dr. Baron on my team. I will be attending the medical school of Brown University in the fall and I would not have accomplished this without Dr. B!
