Looking for a job can feel like diving into the deep end without knowing what to expect. After my maternity leave, I was feeling a bit rusty in many areas during my job search. I reached out to Nick who was so receptive to helping me figure out what I needed to be successful in my job search. As a career coach, Nick helped me build my personal brand which was SO important when it came to my interviews since I had more self confidence and could explain clearly the value I would bring to any organization I interviewed for. He also helped me revamp my resume to meet standards that would ensure I get interviews lined up! With Nick's help, I eventually landed a great job after a short period of time!

Overall, Nick is very helpful, resourceful and definitely out there to help in all ways he can to ensure career success. He also goes above and beyond to be flexible with your schedule so I definitely recommend him and his services!

Nicholas Long has been a great professional career coach. He has helped me to see my strengths and weaknesses and help me to challenge myself to become great in the corporate world.

Nicholas, has helped me understand the right approach on interviews by working on my self confidence personally and professionally. He went over and beyond with my resume and told me what works in transitioning from one career to the next. He is professional, thorough, client-driven. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking career transition or professional coaching.

I would recommend Nicholas Long as a career coach! Over the course of our 5 sessions, I gained a great deal of knowledge about searching for jobs, personal branding, and the corporate world. However, the most valuable thing I gained from our coaching sessions was confidence. After almost a year of job searching and rejections, my confidence was completely depleted. Nicholas truly helped me get my confidence back. In addition, he helped me create a truly killer resume and cover letter. I am proud to say that after the completion of our sessions, I accepted a new position. I believe this role will be instrumental in setting me up for a successful career. Even after our career coaching course has ended, I still regard Nicholas as a trusted mentor.

I am confident that Nicholas can be a great career coach for someone at any point in their career journey. However, I believe people who will particularly benefit from his help are industrial and organizational psychology professionals, those early in the careers/ fresh out of school, and those affiliated with the military (transitioning vets and spouses).

Working with Nicholas these past few months has given me quite a bit of knowledge when working with my resume, creating my personal brand, identifying exactly what kind of positions I was looking for, and establishing myself with other I/O professionals. Nicholas is very professional and courteous, prompt and studious, and has helped me gain confidence in a difficult situation. I definitely recommend Nicholas as a coach and mentor.

A phenomenal experience, I can’t thank Nick enough for his insight and skills. He works with you to help yourself, which I think is great. I’m almost trained to see things through a recruiters eyes and I’m able to shift my resume and Linkedin Profile accordingly. I definitely have an advantage when looking to further my career.

Even if you think you have a good grasp, I suggest reaching out to Nick. He can elevate you, your brand, and your approach which is invaluable in my eyes.

Working with Nick has been transformational in the way I view job seeking and career transitions. I was so thankful for the skills and tools Nick brought along to help me succeed, but I was blown away when he went above and beyond to ensure I walked away confident and ready.

Nicholas Long was very responsive, extremely knowledgeable and exceptionally easy to work with. I had a very short turnaround time and he was able to produce a great product in an impressively timely and thorough manner. I would definitely use his services again in the future and refer him to others in my network.

Working with Nick as a career transition coach was a great experience. He's someone who genuinely wants you to succeed, approaching coaching in an authentic and unpretentious way. Throughout our time together, he equipped me with various tools to assist in my job search, taught me how to brand myself in the way I want to be seen, shared techniques for effective networking, and generally gave me the direction and confidence I needed to enter into a field that was foreign to me.

Overall, if you're transitioning into a new career and need help figuring out where to start, I would highly recommend working with Nick.

I was in desperate need of a refreshed and updated resume as I was applying to jobs and was not getting any responses or interview requests from job applications. I looked to Nick at Mission First Coaching for help with a cover letter and resume. He was so understanding, knowledgeable, and listened to all my concerns. We worked together to come up with an outstanding new resume, and I received a job offer within the month it was completed! I couldn’t have done it without his expert knowledge and writing skills to conform the resume to what companies are looking for!
