"There is no better career coach than Amy. When I was looking to change jobs, I reached out to Amy for assistance. From the very start, she helped me craft a plan based on what I wanted to achieve in my next career move. With Amy’s genius insight and advice, I was able to have much more successful interviews — and even land a job that I wanted! Throughout the process, she was there to help me, answer my questions, and steer me in the right direction every step of the way. On top of it all, she definitely brought out the confidence in me that I lacked for a while. Amy is passionate about what she does and is always looking out for her clients. I cannot recommend her enough!" SD- Write and Editor
"I worked with Amy while undergoing a major career shift and she was such incredible for my journey. She guided me through every step of the process. I came to her not knowing much more than I wanted a change and she not only gave me everything I needed to understand and articulate what I specifically desired, but she also gave me the tools I needed to actually take action on it. She did an amazing job of breaking down what could have felt like an overwhelming mountain of tasks into a logical and manageable load so I was always steadily moving towards my goals. On top of that, she's incredibly empathetic and understood the challenges and roadblocks I encountered along the way and was able to provide me the much needed reassurance and encouragement that was required for me to keep pushing forward. I would recommend her to anyone feeling at a loss with how to move your career into the direction you want it to go and plan to reach out to her if and when I need guidance again."

"Amy is a fantastic life & career coach and friend! I found her by chance after listening to her podcast with Jennifer Sanfilippo about coping through Covid. After leaving a job I loved at the end of 2019, the world went remote and everything shutdown. She gave me the tools and resources needed to stay focused, grounded and optimistic while job hunting in a pandemic. I wouldn't have survived without her pep talks! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a little guidance personally and/or professionally."- LC- Marketing, Communications, and Events
"I've worked with Amy since 2016. Her services were part of my severance package after a layoff, and I continued to use her as I started my own business and developed a client base. One distinct memory I have of our time together is crying my eyes out on her couch when I decided to become a consultant which was a terrifying choice at the time. She was the one person in my life who said, "I think you can do it." It was exactly what I needed to hear at that moment. Through the years as we've worked together, she was able to be someone I could talk to about dealing with all the challenges that come from being self-employed. I highly recommend her services."- MN- Archives Consultant
"I am so grateful to Amy for partnering with me as my coach in 2019. Her ability to bring laser focus into our coaching/mentoring engagement was so helpful to me as I on-boarded as President of ICF Arizona Charter Chapter.

"The decision to work with a coach during a period of professional or personal transition is one that needs to be carefully considered, particularly since it requires an investment of time, commitment, and money at a time when income is often reduced. That’s why I consider my work with Amy Bloustine one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Amy helped me develop a comprehensive plan to transition to the non-profit fundraising sector from the magazine-media industry. Our work together involved identifying my transferable skills, the development of an educational program that helped me develop non-profit literacy, and the pursuit of volunteer work that provided me with front line fundraising experience. She also provided me with useful advice on how to network effectively and how to manage my expectations from networking meetings and events.
Amy was invaluable in helping me develop the self-confidence to manage challenging conversations with hiring managers who viewed my candidacy with skepticism. I recently landed a development role at a leading human and civil rights organization that’s doing critical work to protect the civil liberties of everyone. If you’re looking to reinvent yourself professionally or re-brand yourself in your current industry, I encourage you to consider working with Amy. She will help you craft a strategic plan, amplify your personal brand through your resume and LinkedIn, navigate the frustrations of Applicant Tracking Systems, and be persuasive in interviews. Amy offers deep insight and possesses great personal warmth." - CD
"I am so thankful that I made the decision to work with Amy! I was unhappy in my position and knew there had to be more to my career than what I was experiencing. I worked with Amy for 5 months on numerous areas, some of which included honing in my desired career path, reworking my resume and cover letter based on that new focus, targeting key professionals in my network and preparing for interviews. Most importantly, Amy allowed me to feel confident in my request for a higher salary than I was making. She encouraged me to feel justified in my request with my educational background and career experience.
After 5 months of work together, Amy and I completed our work together after I was offered another career opportunity in my desired industry! I increased my salary by 62%, adding numerous employee benefits and was able to confidently accept the offer. The offer will be life changing for me and my growing family.
Without Amy, I would not have had the courage to make a career move. The investment in myself has paid off well and beyond what I could have hoped. Thank you Amy for believing in me and pushing me to be the best version of myself!"-NE

She taught me new interview and networking techniques and most importantly led me back to my core values and interests. In a time when I felt very overwhelmed, Amy helped me focus and showed me how I could use my skills and experience in new and different ways.

"I met with Amy over a four-month period and found her career guidance to be invaluable. She broke down each of my skills, interests, and professional passions, and helped mold a narrative that I could use to move forward. She found value in past achievements I had taken for granted and urged me to include them when searching for particular employment opportunities. She coached me diligently on improving my “two-minute pitch” and how to perform better in professional interviews. She is resourceful, supportive, patient, and a fountain of ideas and inspiration.

A friend referred me to Amy when I left a long-time job and was all over the place with the direction I wanted to go in my career.

She helped me shape up my resume and narrow down the fields I was targeting. I ultimately landed a full-time position that I'm excited about, and I know her coaching was monumental in getting me there.

"I truly appreciate Amy's talent and dedication as my career coach. Her knowledge and expertise in the nonprofit industry and ability to listen attentively really helped me think outside the box and strategically for my next steps in my career. Whenever I emailed Amy with a question or wanted to explore a new idea, she always responded right away with useful suggestions and plenty of resources. She would even follow-up later in the week or month to check my progress or offer me more insight or a contact to connect me with. Without a doubt, Amy has helped me better understand myself; which has helped me grow personally and professionally. I am very thankful for the opportunity to have worked with her."- AB- Education Professional
A friend referred me to Amy when I left a long-time job and was all over the place with the direction I wanted to go in my career. Amy provided a free phone consultation, and we connected immediately. Once we began our sessions, she helped me navigate the chaos in my brain. Although she was officially my career coach, her expertise as a life coach seeped in -- between in-persons sessions she was constantly my cheerleader via email and the phone. She helped me shape up my resume and narrow down the fields I was targeting. I ultimately landed a full-time position that I'm excited about, and I know her coaching was monumental in getting me there. Amy is a wonderful resource and person and I highly recommend her services!- EO- Marketing/Communications
