Client Feedback
Testimonial: "What I enjoyed most about my coaching experience with Rhoda ws that I learned more ways to network and explore employment opportunities. If there were one thing I would like to have been different about our coaching interaction, it is I wish I had more time to take full advantage of the services provided. As a result of being coached, one thing I would do different in the future is, inquire, in person, about career fields to get a realistic perspective before trying to pick one based on my limited knowledge of the field."

Testimonial: "Thanks Rhoda, The session went well. You really listened, took your time with me and gave feedback on my goals. You provided direction on the things I could do. You were very fair and objective."
-D. Cook, Maryland
Testimonial: "I didn't realize that I was not qualified for the positions I was applying to. Then, I met Rhoda Smackum by God's grace at the Women For Hire career fair. Actually, I have a new resume, new targets, more specific guiding. I have a list of my contacts and companies, I know how to follow-up with my contacts and get appointments, even interviews. You helped me with jobs searches, and now I apply for jobs I am qualified for. I feel very confident now, very proud of myself. I expect a positive outcome from what I am doing with my career coach. After each session of coaching, I feel very comforted. I don't regret my time nor my investment in coaching. Thank you Rhoda.

Testimonial: "Ms. Smackum has helped me to gain the confidence needed to pursue additional education. She inspired me to believe that I could achieve my dreams, even though I was greatly hindered by financial, social, and health issues. I am confident that I will someday be a successful government executive and it’s all because of the assistance my coach has given me. Rhoda has trained me to think outside the box, to look for innovative solutions to life’s problems. I have also gained a great deal of insight through my work experiences. I’ve managed to rise from the ranks of a domestic worker to a paraprofessional position (promotional potential to GS-14 level hired as GS-5 in August 2000) with the Federal government. While I am quite proud of my accomplishment, I must admit that I had to overcome a number of hurdles along the way hurdles which were quite frustrating. However, as a result of my experience, I have learned the value of having good Career Coach, the importance of a strong work ethic, and the value of pursuing life-long education. "

Testimonial: "I've been at my new job since October and it's going well! And you're right, I get offers and interview invitations all the time now. I just turned down two last week. You are remarkable at what you do. I have been refering you to a friend of mine who has been out of work for a couple years. He keeps saying that he doesn't think anyone can do what he already has, but I told him that I had turned many rocks but you had small detailed information that I had never even thought about."
- C. Robinson, Maryland
Testimonial: "My experience was excellent. I was very satisfied and I welcome others to try a career coach whenever they are having trouble deciding what career path to take or how best to market themselves in the workplace."

-E.Sund
Testimonial: "I was indeed lucky to have you as my resume reviewer today at the Women For Hire job fair. I wanted to meet with you because you project competence, serenity, care, and compassion. Your comments were encouraging and very helpful. As a result, I am preparing a resume soley for the international security community, and it will have a three-sentence objective. I had one of those Aha!! moments that makes life such a precious gift. I left with a sense of clarity about my purpose, capabilities, abilities, passions, and interests."
