Read more about what my clients have to say about working with me:

“I'm thrilled to express my gratitude to Jan Coville, my remarkable career counselor and life coach. As I embrace my new role working in the marketing department of a theater, I reflect on our transformative journey.

When we began working together in 2022, I thought I was headed back to grad school to become a licensed therapist. Jan helped me to envision and realize a different path - one that led me to the vibrant world of entertainment. In this dynamic environment, I'm discovering a newfound passion for writing, content creation and media ad campaigns.

Jan's guidance during this pivotal time has been invaluable. Emerging from a career healing phase, I'm now navigating a more outward, people-facing role with joy and fulfillment. Working in entertainment, theater, music, art, and community has awakened a sense of aliveness in me. This feels like just the beginning, and I owe a significant part of it to Jan Coville. Thank you for being the guiding light that has illuminated my path toward a fulfilling and exciting future.”

- Madeleine, age 29

“I was feeling uninspired by a job I’d had and mostly enjoyed for more than a decade. I was nearing retirement age and didn’t want to change jobs, but I knew I was underperforming and so did my boss. I didn’t consciously understand why this was happening. Jan helped me identify the cause of my dissatisfaction and realign my thoughts about it. The relief was immediate. I recaptured my interest in the work and my desire to perform it professionally. Jan enabled me to continue to earn a good living and not suffer the turmoil of being fired and/or trying to find a new job. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Thanks, Jan!”

- Sue, age 65

“My first meeting with Jan in May 2020 changed the whole focus of my job search. I was honestly unsure that I would be able to go through an interview and get hired for an Executive Assistant position. Immediately after our first meeting, my resume improved, my LinkedIn went through a complete metamorphosis, I honed my interviewing skills and regained my confidence! I learned to understand the value of LinkedIn and how to become more active in it - all because of Jan!”

- Hannah, Career Advancer, age 52

“I’d like to put it bluntly. Jan is amazing. I met with Jan at the beginning of a huge career change.  I had decided to re-enroll in school, to pursue a different degree to transition start on a new career path. She was incredibly understanding, genuinely cared about my monumental change, and supported me to obtain a positive outcome for my life and career. Jan has an amazing knack for what she does. She has the wonderful ability to not just strictly teach or toss information at you. She acts as a wonderful guide, helping you learn how to find your own path and offers breadcrumbs along the way to help you reach your destination. She provides just the right amount of information and the perfect level of guidance so that you can explore your education and professional choices in the best manner possible. I met with Jan unsure of my future, and she helped me master the skills I needed to reach my goals”

- Timothy, Career Changer, age 31

“I met Jan during a time of transition. I was in the middle of my undergrad and had recently transferred from a degree program and school that was misaligned with my goals and values. I lacked confidence in myself and the knowledge of how to establish a satisfying career. Jan helped me to examine my situation from all angles to decide upon and take the next logical step. I learned to identify my interests and work values, and how to present myself professionally. Jan guided me through crafting a career action plan, my first resume, letters of interest and cover letters. I learned interview skills and how to network. Jan encouraged me to build experience while getting my degree which has given my career an amazing head start!”

- Madison, Career Launcher, age 22

“My initial thoughts going into my first meeting with Jan was that I just wanted to get some help with updating my resume. I never imagined that I would be walking away with so much more. Jan immediately recommended that I apply to graduate with my Associate degree, since I had met all the requirements. That was definitely not something I had considered as an opportunity to be more appealing to employers while I continued to work on my bachelor's degree. I met with Jan many more times and she was a valued source of support to me, and a great mentor. We created multiple versions of my resume, explored job opportunities, and she would always encourage me to not give up, the right job was out there for me. Which turned out to be true. The last job posting that Jan sent to me, is with my new employer, and I couldn’t be happier.”

- Loretta, Career Changer, age 52

“I first met Jan through GSC's course, Career Development and Life Planning in Spring of 2015. I was a student at the time and struggling to change into a new career field. I learned so much more than I expected! I updated my resume, cover letter, learned and applied knowledge about my interests, skills and work values and ultimately learned how to gain experience for my future career, which was a turning point for me. Jan was phenomenal throughout and routinely followed up with me over the next year to see how I was doing and ask if I needed additional support. Her guidance really helped me break into a new field, ultimately changing my life for the better in so many different ways. I can't say enough about Jan's expertise, guidance, and persistence in helping students find work that's right for them. She consistently goes above and beyond, and I wouldn't be where I am without her help.”
