CareerJoy | Calgary | Outplacement, Career & Leadership Coaching

My coach was Laurie Fenske. She was great to work with. Always prepared for our sessions. Her sessions were valuable to me in finding effective job-search strategies. She also played the role of counsellor, acting as a good sounding board for my stresses and concerns.

I had an excellent experience with Career Joy. At the beginning, I shared my career goals and they tailored a program that fit my exact needs. They assigned me to an industry-specific coach, George Muenz, who is intimately familiar with the software sector.When I initially started working with George, he helped me with a resume and updating my LinkedIn page. The remainder of my interactions with George focused on some excellent, high-level strategies focusing on networking, job prospecting, conveying my value and interviewing.Working with George was a pleasure. He works extremely hard for his clients and was always available to help in a pinch. If you’re willing to follow his advice and put the work in, I’d highly recommend George and Career Joy.

My experience was great with Career Joy. Jennifer helped me find choices that I didn't even know were options. I've found what would suit my life goals and needs with my family. I can't wait for the next steps to becoming the person I have always thought I'd become. Thank you for everything CareerJoy!

Working with Tara and CareerJoy was exactly what I needed to gain confidence in myself and successfully navigate through the interview and hiring process. Through a few sessions with Tara, I was able to refine my approach to interview answers and deliver them with confidence. I was the successful candidate for an exciting role one week after my coaching sessions!

Even though I am early on in the process, I feel understood and supported by my Career Coach and have a sense that she knows her stuff. I also appreciate the customization of the support. This is definitely not a cookie cutter or one size fits all approach!

I had the opportunity to receive career guidance and coaching from George Muenz back in May this year. Sharing my insight (as George prefers to use the term!) about George and his sessions is my absolute pleasure and I should have done this sooner! I must say he is not only an amazing person but also a brilliant coach. He is a true mentor who is very genuine, resourceful and flexible. I enjoyed every bit of my time during my coaching sessions with George. He even followed up with me after my interviews and guided me to get through some rough times. Thank you so much George! YOU ARE THE BEST!!! :)

Being let go can be a scary process. Career Joy helped me regain my confidence and give myself credit for the hard work I had done. With the help of my coach George Muenz and the rest of the Career Joy team, I have a new position and achieved a 20% raise over my last job, results speak for themselves. Thank you George and Career Joy!!

Laurie Fenske is brilliant. You know how some people are masters at their craft, where the hours of dedication to mastery is evident? That's Laurie. The insightful questions she asks, the space she provides for self-discovery, the well-placed nuggets of wisdom and ideas, the encouragement coupled with directness, all contribute to the confidence I have in an coaching experience with Laurie.Note that this career exploration process is just that: an exploration. If you're hoping to just do a test to tell you what you should do, this isn't it. You've got to do the work and create the mental time and space to explore all the moving parts, but it's worth it. And you will feel empowered as you do so with a guide on your journey like Laurie.

I found CareerJoy in the most challenging time of my career life. Jane and Gina have been giving me hope and supports along the the way. After 6 months of coaching, I recently secured a position with more rooms for growth, in the company with culture that fit my values, and in the industry that I am interested in. Thank you so much, CareerJoy, I am blessed!

When you have been laid off from a job of ten years and being in your 50s, your world seems to crash around you. The CareerJoy team and my coach, Karen Haas, help me understand that all is not lost. They made me realize that even though one career ended there was another career out there waiting for me. They helped me with getting through the shock of being laid off, to learn things about myself I never really thought about, to understand my worth to future employers, not to underestimate myself and helped me to create a resume and prepare for an interview. I am so thankful to the CareerJoy team and Karen Haas. Without their help I would not have landed a new career, that I am now thoroughly enjoying.
