Prompt, Genuine, Professional - The Career Coach I Was Looking For!
I have been working with Rima for the past few months.
To begin with, she was very prompt with the Discovery Call. I had been looking for a career coach for a couple of years at that point, with a few disappointing experiences. Needless to say, I approached the whole thing with caution.
However, right from the get-go, Rima came across as a genuine person. She is a perfect mix of professional and warm - what I look for in a mentor.
She patiently answered my questions and addressed my apprehensions without invalidating my fears, which helped me make the decision to work with her.
Rima brings in niche expertise as a career coach because of her PhD in a STEM field and extensive industry experience.
The best part of her program is the one-on-one sessions - this makes the coaching highly tailored to the needs/skills/personality of the mentees.
Her coaching modules consist of meaningful actionable items - specific steps that one needs to take. She also comes back with constructive feedback and suggestions. At the end of it all, you have something tangible to get cracking on your job hunt.
I highly recommend her as a coach if you are looking to transition from academia to industry.
Rima understands the struggles of her mentees and knows exactly what perspectives to give, in order to pull them out of their mental inertia. Additionally, she walks the path with her mentees without judging them!
Working with Rima has given me useful insights into the working of industry and the confidence to transition out of academia.
Rima’s expertise, empathy, and tailored approach make her an exceptional career coach!
