Client Comments

Catapult's experts helped me highlight my technical and professional skills and they directed me in ways that allowed me to connect with companies and get hired. Catapult helped me reach my goals.

Catapult helped my daughter learn and apply strategies to build her network and relationships with people who will be a positive influence in her career. They also helped strengthen key tools in the job-search process, such as her resume. Catapult’s process, best practices and practical advice are a true asset to families who choose to work with them.

The Catapult process has helped me move from a broad career exploration to deliberate job choices that integrate my experience, skills and interests. Their team includes true professionals - for example, a PhD psychologist who led me through a career assessment and provided counsel to help narrow the options I should pursue and a personal branding expert who helped me refine my resume and LinkedIn profile. My only regret is that I didn’t engage the Catapult team earlier.

I learned the necessary skills to take on the job search process, which can be both complicated and daunting for recent college graduates. The Catapult process taught me the appropriate steps and procedures needed to be successful not only when networking (which I use plenty today), but to search for opportunities and interviews as well.

Katie helped me learn how to build relationships with people who could open doors for me. She worked with me on developing my professional voice, which helped me gain confidence and experience that led to a great job in my chosen field when I graduated from Wayne State University.

Catapult’s Career Compass was especially helpful for my son by highlighting his background and accomplishments in a way that turbo-charged his networking activities. Jeff’s counsel prepared him for discussions with senior leaders that focused on his unique value-add, vs. simply responding to standard HR interview questions. After several meetings, the CEO of his new company created a unique position for my son that perfectly matches his experience, capabilities and professional aspirations.
