I contacted Eileen for help during a mid-career transition.  She helped me assess my new goals and ideal employment opportunities. 


Eileen also helped me create a resume that truly reflected my skills and experience so that I could feel confident applying for new jobs and going through the interview process.  Thanks to her coaching, I found a new career path that fits me perfectly.


I can't recommend Eileen Kalikow of Vocational Resources highly enough!

During our time together, Eileen established an excellent rapport with me: directing each meeting with pointed and intelligent questions, listening attentively, taking copious notes—essentially building a portfolio of my life.

I regard my time with Vocational Resources as time extremely well spent. Eileen is a valuable resource for anyone who is looking to partner with a professional with vast career and business knowledge to assist them in creating the life that they want.
