I was very fortunate to meet Cristin just as I decided to look into changing careers from higher education to something (anything) else. I found the Pivot Process an important part of my transition from a 15-year career in higher ed to a new understanding of my identity as so much more than my career or job. The PP supported me in figuring out a new direction at a crucial time after higher ed work led me to burnout, frustration, and financial stress.
The Pivot Process gave me a framework to reimagine work and what I actually want. Due to Cristin’s guidance in the Pivot Process, I feel like I am in control of my own future and career. I feel confident that I can apply for, interview for, and get jobs, but I also know I have the ability to choose and make changes if I need to. This is an amazing gift. In higher ed, my path always seemed predetermined. Now I feel like I am able to pivot as many times as I want to and chase any career that interests me. I now have a new remote job in a new field and a new business that I am growing.
For me, the Pivot Process is not just getting a new job. It was also figuring out what I actually want to pursue and how to best use my skills. Authenticity is the key to the process. After a career in higher ed, finding out what I authentically want in how I am treated at work, how I work, and how I want to be paid was not obvious or easy. It is a process that is well worth the time and effort.

Before I worked with Cristin, I was at my wits end. I was laid off from my job and was stuck at a dead end retail job and was extremely unhappy. I had literally applied for hundreds of positions and wasn’t getting anywhere, I couldn’t get an interview or even a response. I knew it had to be something with my resume.
I decided to work with Cristin because of her dedication and her willingness to help. Her positive outlook and spirit was contagious and had me feeling hopeful before we even got started.
Working with Cristin was great. Very professional, always willing to help and always has her clients in mind. She was always available to help me and answer my questions and give me tips. Not only did she help me with my resume, she would give me pointers on jobs to search and how to trick the algorithms on the job boards to show you jobs you’re interested in.
After working with Cristin and seeing how much better my resume looked and sounded, I couldn’t have been happier. Thanks to her, I was able to get a much better job then what I had when I started working with her and even before I started. There is no doubt in my mind, that without Cristin’s help, I wouldn’t be in the position I am in now.
