WHAT THEY SAY... |
Our successful graduates and experienced hires are the best advocates of our process and commitment to results. Below are comments from several campaigners and their parents. |
Graduates |

"I began my job search during my final year of college. Following my graduation I returned home to restart my search with GoBeyond. Within the first couple weeks of the campaign, I was overwhelmed with responses and interviews from targeted companies that matched my interests and ambitions. Throughout the several months I was engaged with GoBeyond, I honed my skills as an interviewer and gained exposure to a wide breadth or industries and roles. Without the expert advice and coaching I received with GoBeyond moving forward with my job search would have been a daunting task." Brian R. — successful GoBeyond '13 client |
"I started the process a year or so out of graduate school. I'd had a number of internships, contract positions and academic experience documented on a vague and scattered resumé that read as a confusing series of false starts that often elicited furrowed brows from hiring managers. GoBeyond turned my experience into an impressive snapshot of an ambitious and well-rounded graduate with a compelling story that was unique but also made sense. The first thing I heard from employers was that my resumé was the best they had ever seen. I know that this resumé is the first impression that distinguished me from the competition and was the first step to getting me a series of interviews and a job I'd never thought possible." Laura S. — successful GoBeyond '14 client |

"I feel certain (my daughter) would not have landed at Joan L. — parent of successful '12 client "Finding the opportunity, and your coaching, made it possible to open the door so she could get the job." |
"This week my daughter started her new career. Each day she has called or texted me to say how exciting and wonderful it is. What a step up from the job that she found for herself upon graduation! GoBeyond's guidance and expertise were truly invaluable. She had the opportunity to interview with a wide range of companies. She marveled at how GoBeyond anticipated not only what questions the interviewers would ask, but that they asked them almost verbatim. She felt extremely confident in the interview process, thanks to GoBeyond's expert coaching. The work that GoBeyond did in research and preparation in "taking her to market" was truly outstanding. We cannot imagine any circumstance under which she would have ended up at this company without the assistance of GoBeyond. Thank you so very much!" JoAnne V. — parent of successful GoBeyond client |

Kimberly was two months from graduation when she and her parents contacted GoBeyond. She had secured a 'highly' paid full-time internship at a public relations agency, with a $30,000 a year salary, but no benefits. She was not satisfied with the offer, and we agreed to help.
EVALUATION & STRATEGY › Our in-depth interview with Kimberly uncovered that she loved technology, and what she really wanted was a role in marketing. We upgraded her resumé, refined her objectives, and crafted a campaign that focused on target companies in her desired geography and function, along with several additional criteria.
CAMPAIGN LAUNCH › The campaign received a strong response, and with our coaching, Kimberly began replying to the interested companies. We coached her through each interview, refining her message and increasing her confidence with each positive response.
OFFER & ACCEPTANCE! › She received her first offer a little over a month after we started. The offer was with a high profile technology company, in marketing, with a $61,000 total salary, plus benefits and even an option package!
Kimberly accepted the offer.
START NOW
When Laura learned about GoBeyond's service, she was making $11/hour and was frustrated that she had not been able to leverage her degree to find a job in the entertainment industry that she loved.
EVALUATION & STRATEGY › Our in-depth interview revealed Laura's passion for film-making and the production process. The entertainment industry is unique in many ways, including its hiring practices, so we crafted a campaign that would really help her stand out from the competition.
CAMPAIGN LAUNCH › Timing in the entertainment industry is critical. When projects are green-lighted, they immediately have hiring needs to meet aggressive production deadlines. GoBeyond understood this industry-specific challenge. We created a campaign that demonstrated an understanding of the abilities job candidates in Laura's field would need. We showed off her skills in a way that made her the most attractive candidate for the available positions.
OFFER & ACCEPTANCE! › Laura received offers from two of the top studios in the industry and was elated. She accepted an offer with Dreamworks.
