CareerJoy | Toronto | Outplacement, Career & Leadership Coaching

Such an amazing experience! Talking with Jessika was what sold me on this program, she went above and beyond to make me feel 100% supported throughout my journey with Career Joy. Debora worked with me on what I always lacked: the best way to position myself and communicate what I am bringing to the table. And a much special thank you" to Lisa: she literally showed me the light. I went into this process with no idea of what I wanted or what I was really good at and I left it with a clear perspective of what I excel at and

George and the CareerJoy team are wonderful humans and truly care about your situation to find employment. I worked with George closely and not only did he revamp my resume, but also taught me how to efficiently use tools like Linkedin for job search. Moreover, I got the impression George really cares about his clients success, and is always available to jump on a meeting call to share his advice. George was able to empower me with the confidence to keep applying for roles despite several negative external factors I was facing with at the time. I can't speak enough to attest how great George is as a career coach and as a person. He has taught me life long lessons that I will carry on for the rest of my career. I would not hesitate to work with George and the rest of the CareerJoy team.

I had the pleasure of working with George during my job search

I would highly recommend Career Joy's services if you need assistance with your job or career search. The staff are very kind and they are there to help. Jane is one of their career coaches and she is absolutely amazing. She truly cares about her clients and she is VERY knowledgeable, so she can effectively help you during your job search. Thank you for everything Career Joy :)

As so many of us found ours selves contemplating the last 2 years, I also found my self un-employed for the first time in my 31 year career. I contacted George Muenz at Career joy. Not only did George create a killer resume for me, he also gave me great advise and perspective towards starting a new career that would be not only rewarding, but fulfilling as well. This is usually a very stress full time but George always had time to talk and gave me confidence you sometimes lose when given to much time to think. As I am now happily starting a new career, I thank George for all advice and encouragement and look forward all challenges ahead.Career Joy is a must if you want to move forward in these very fast paced times.

- Career Options - Through the exercises completed through the initial coaching meeting, these confirmed the most appropriate areas for me to pursue work which matched my transferable skills and experience.- Confidence - CareerJoy provided all the tools required to prepare for job interviews with all the confidence needed to be successful in obtaining a position. Without this, I wouldn't have been as successful as I was in being interviewed (I received interviews from 5 out of 47 companies to which I applied for positions, plus another 4 companies were interested in my application e.g. telephone interview for a total of 19%). This response from prospective employers exceeded my expectations!- Job Search, Interview & Networking Skills - While I was in control of navigating my job search, I think more input could be provided by coaches in this area to provide additional support. I was provided with excellent support during the interview process, getting feedback on answers to anticipated questions prior to interviews. I think more support could be provided in the area of arranging brief 15-minute meetings prior to and following each interview as a check-in.Sense of Market Value - I think this is an idea that could be improved within the coaching program. While I was told to expect to be making less than in my previous position, perhaps a broad range could be provided by the coach as a guide to what the client can expect based on skills and experience.- Control over the next steps of your career - I think that while CareerJoy provides invaluable assistance to help clients prepare for interviews, the rest (interviews, thank-you notes etc.) is up to the client. One area that could be discussed with clients is negotiations e.g. salary, vacation once a client is selected for a position.Thanks again for your help! After one week, I'm extremely happy with the new employer and co-workers, and the position has a tremendous opportunity for growth!

Signing up with Career Joy is one of the best decisions I've made for myself. From the first consultation call, I felt heard and that my needs re: career searching were the priority. I found a wonderful coach in Jen Facchin right away, and felt comfortable and supported from our first session. Most importantly, I felt Career Joy and Jen are cheering me on and wanting me to succeed.Jen helped me regain confidence in my skills, abilities, and myself in general. I have more clarity in what I want to do, where, and know the steps I'm going to take to get there. I highly recommend Career Joy (and Jen!) for anyone considering a pivot in their career and is seeking guidance!

George was amazing and gave great guidance. It caused a big mindset shift of value and recognizing that I'm in demand and companies are lucky to work with me (shifting the power dynamic). Being able to put into practice a demonstration of value in my resume, rather than leaving it to interviewers to try to decipher. It's not about what you've done, but what you can do for the company if they hire you - show them that.

I worked with George over the course of a few months when I realized I needed a career change but didn't know where to start. George was amazing in helping me to better understand myself and my priorities and guiding me to career paths & options that met them. One thing you can count on from George is his honesty - he'll tell you when you're going wrong and give you his opinion on whether he thinks there's a fit. I'm well on my way to achieving my goals now, and George's expertise & the questions he asked me were indispensable in getting me to where I am. I'm not sure I ever would have gott here without the help of George & CareerJoy!

Strongest recommendations to anyone looking for a career coach!!1.5yrs ago I returned to Canada after 15years abroad and having had worked with only 1 company. I had forgotten how to apply for jobs, and had a limited network here. I started a search for a career coach and CareerJoy exceeded my expectations. When other companies & coaches were using their intro call to discuss how many hours they would offer, George Muenz simply started coaching! It was a no brainer to work together as he offered actual value from our first interaction. In the first steps, he guided me to a resume concept that I hadn’t seen before, helped put mine together & this helped me land a lot of interviews! Although I landed my first job 2 months later, George continued his support! He helped guiding me how to build a network, how to present my value, and how to negotiate offers. He was always available and always pushed me to book a zoom call to catch up. 1.5 years later, he recently helped in another job that came up and also helped throughout the process. Our coaching sessions were never limited to a number of hours, but to me getting the best value, support and advice!
