How I Got Started

Twenty years ago I (Vicki Lind) began offering career transition and job search services in Portland. After several years I amassed an abundance of kind, stellar reviews on Yelp and Google. As a result, a broad range of people started calling me-- from creatives and educators to technical innovators and executives. I realized that some of these clients' needs could be met best by other career specialists with deep and focused expertise. Therefore, I developed a model that allows you to select a professional who best matches your career needs, style, values, schedule, and budget. I set out to build an exceptional team.

Meet My Team

Ursala Garbrecht provides resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn Profile writing as well as job search coaching. I invited Ursala to join the team because of her ability to clarify for jobseekers what sets them apart from the competition.

Ursina Teuscher, PhD provides job satisfaction and career advancement coaching for people who would like to improve their situation in their current job. Sometimes the time and cost of a making a career or job change isn't the optimal choice. With her advanced degree, practical Swiss attitude, and responsive personal style, Ursina can help you thrive where you are planted.

Janet Brumbaugh, MA provides executive job search coaching and recruiting. She's been an invaluable resource to me for years for executive and senior level clients looking for jobs in private industry. As a top producing recruiter, she has a robust network of leaders in local companies. She coaches clients to shine when they present themselves to potential employers. I'm delighted that Janet, with her competence, straight talk and humor, has joined us.
