I heard about Ian from an Executive MBA alumnus who used his services. Ian is one of a small group of external career coaches that I recommend to our alumni and the public. He comes from the executive search world and has the coaching skills and the business experience that I look for in career coach. I have no hesitation in recommending him – I consistently get great feedback from various people I have recommended to him."

The April 2007 issue of Maxim magazine ran a few quotes from me on salary negotiations. If you happen to have that issue hangingin around, it is on page 126. ]]>ianchristie@boldcareer.comHappy Clients2007-07-05T12:14:00-07:00http://www.boldcareer.com/buzz.html#unique-entry-id-31http://www.boldcareer.com/buzz.html#unique-entry-id-31

I found the traditional job search frustrating as few opportunities arose and even fewer seemed to have the appropriate fit for me. I was a very challenging client as I had extensive experience in a unique industry with seemingly little transference to other industries; particularly industries that provided the personal fit I so desperately sought. Ian facilitated a structured analysis and definition of my skills which we then packaged and used to approach targeted firms. As a result, I was offered exactly what I was looking for: a challenging position; working with exceptional people and technology; and, within an industry that I am passionate about.

Ian is a very personable and intelligent individual. He has exceptional knowledge of the job market and effective job search strategies, and his commitment to my success was obvious. Working with Ian provided outstanding results that far exceeded my expectations. I recommend Ian to anyone who wants to take charge of their career and establish a trajectory that can create considerable personal and professional growth. Thank you Ian!"

The enormous value I received from your positive and encouraging coaching cannot be overestimated. When you are knee deep in the changing tides it can be easy to lose sight of the horizon. Being able to have a personal and objective resource for all of the important questions and moments of self-doubt helped me stay focused. The experience of being coached by someone towards a very specific goal, which involved some difficult thinking on my part and a lot of patient probing on your part, was very positive. It got the job done. And it got me the job. Thank you for being there for me on this difficult, but enlightening journey. I truly hope to work with you again in the future."

I was delighted to see that my blog made the list.
There are many fine blogs on the list like Recruiting.com that I read regularly, and some others unfamiliar to me (which I definitely will be subscribing to).

It ended up in the Jan. 31 - Feb. 13 issue of the magazine in a small way. The article isn’t online unfortunately, but the gist of the quote is when you decide to leave, try and resign with some class. Give appropriate notice. Don’t do anything that could come back to haunt you.

The subject was “quitting your job and getting a new one.”
I have to admit it took me 2 minutes to get my radio voice, but it was fun.]]>
