“Alyssa didn’t just write me a resume and find me some job postings. Alyssa helped me change my life to get exactly what I wanted out of it! From our first conversation to our last, Alyssa was not only thorough in my experience and what I wanted in a job but what I wanted out of life, and that is how she personalized the rest of the direction of our sessions. She helped me gain confidence and see the real value I could bring to a team. Thanks to Alyssa I landed my dream job – from the job description, to the company culture, to the pay, and even the schedule – it’s as if I dreamed up my perfect opportunity and made it come to life. That was thanks to Alyssa! I could tell I wasn’t just another number or client to her; Alyssa truly cares about her clients and wants to see them succeed!

“If you are looking for assistance during a career transition, or to want to get out of a rut in your current position, I cannot recommend Alyssa enough! I am currently transitioning from the US Navy to the civilian sector, and Alyssa has been a huge asset during this time of change and unpredictability. She has coached me with everything from resume and cover letter writing to interpreting online job descriptions to packaging my skills and experiences in the military to apply during interviews. Alyssa is incredibly thorough in her responses, always timely in answering my questions, and constantly encourages me to reach my full potential. Alyssa has found her true calling in career coaching and I am grateful to have been on the receiving end of her services”

-Morgan H., Portales, NM


Alyssa is a positive force of nature! She guided me through my nervousness with interviews and talking slower to potential employers. I had worked myself up to talk too fast and ramble. I loved her focus on hero stories to tell in interviews. I was skeptical on hiring a coach but after landing the job of my dreams and largest salary I’ve ever made, I’m proof her methods work! Can’t say enough kind, positive things about this wonderful coach!”

-Rachael F., Mesa, AZ

“I was fortunate enough to have connected with Alyssa Austin through LinkedIn. She took the time to thoroughly explain the process and importance of a strong, well-written resume. She patiently “interviewed” me in order to determine my strengths to then articulately highlight them. She consistently provided an unrivaled level of service, professionalism, and follow-through. For anyone who is need of job search guidance, I highly recommend Alyssa as she is knowledgeable, detail oriented and genuinely provides a layer of support.”

-Kim D., San Diego, CA


“I’ve been working with Alyssa since August, 2019. She has helped me tremendously with improving self-esteem, confidence, taking my power back and believing it myself again. She is humble in that she never goes on about herself unless it’s going to help me. She gives examples about her experiences too, which makes me feel validated.

She also helps me with practical things as well. For example, time management, meaningful ways to start my morning, prioritizing what’s most important to me and to stick with it , and more!

If you are a person struggling with life, or know someone who is, I highly recommend Alyssa Austin. She will talk with you first to get an idea about what it is you need from her and come up with a plan that you both agree upon.”

-Carleen S., San Diego, CA

Great career and life coach, I highly recommend her.”

“I was a little hesitant based on some sub-par resume/career coach experiences thus far, but Alyssa was fantastic all around! We had a brief phone conversation in where I talked through my current career path, discussed my perceived strengths, and articulated my high-level vision/goals moving forward. She was open and honest with my existing career profile, as well as with some of the potential challenges associated with my career course, and provided consistent and thorough inputs throughout the process.
