CAREER COACHING TO ACCELERATE YOUR JOB SEARCH

I had the pleasure of working with Chris during my search for my next career step, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Chris is not only an expert in his field but also a person of immense integrity, kindness, and honesty. His guidance was instrumental in every aspect of my job search.

Chris provided invaluable assistance in refining the structure and wording of my resume, ensuring it not only highlighted my strengths but also aligned with the expectations of top-tier employers. He helped me build a compelling personal brand that truly resonated with my professional values and aspirations.

His support extended well beyond just resume development. Chris conducted Q&A sessions with me, preparing me for possible interview scenarios. His insights were spot-on, allowing me to enter each interview feeling confident and well-prepared. Additionally, his expertise in salary negotiations helped me secure a compensation package that reflected my worth.

One of the things I appreciated most about working with Chris was his availability and responsiveness. No matter when I needed his guidance, he was always there, offering thoughtful advice and encouragement. His genuine care for his clients was evident and empowered me throughout my job search, knowing I had a coach in my corner rooting for me.

If you’re an executive looking for your next opportunity, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris. His personalized approach and deep understanding of the job search process make him an outstanding partner in any career transition.

I started working with Chris about a month and a half into my job search. I was applying to 2-3 jobs per day and getting absolutely no traction. Chris contacted me because he noticed the “open to work” option on my profile. Once I agreed to meet him, he set up a 20-minute meeting to discuss how he could assist in my job search. I was skeptical, to say the least, but I agreed to the meeting. The very first thing I noticed was how low-pressure sales he came across. He immediately pulled up my profile, explained how a recruiter finds a candidate on LinkedIn. He also performed a review of my resume and explained how an HR rep uses “keywords” to find a qualified candidate. He offered solid advice that I could use even if I didn’t hire him. True to his word, he kept the meeting to 20 minutes, referred me to his website and numerous recommendations, and gave me the space to make a decision.

Once I decided to work with Chris, he revised my LinkedIn profile and updated my resume in less than 2 weeks. Immediately, I started to get more interviews and more recruiter calls. He helped me with interview prep and has since been a source of support during my job search.

If I had to do it over again, I would have hired Chris sooner. He has been a valuable part of my career transition.

I am pleased to recommend Christos for his exceptional support during my job search. His expertise and guidance were instrumental in enhancing my LinkedIn profile, leading to a higher visibility within my industry. The updates we implemented allowed me to connect with a broader network of professionals and explore new opportunities that I had not previously considered.

In addition to his insights on profile optimization, Christos provided tailored interview preparation that greatly boosted my confidence. His customized tips and constructive feedback equipped me with the tools I needed to navigate various interview scenarios effectively. I felt thoroughly prepared and capable of addressing challenging questions, which positively influenced my overall performance during interviews.

One of the standout strategies that Christos introduced was the development of a 30-60-90 day plan. This approach proved to be a game-changer for me. Whenever there was an opportunity to discuss my plan at the end of interviews, I was able to present a clear vision of how I would contribute to the organization from day one. This not only highlighted my strategic thinking but also demonstrated my commitment to making a meaningful impact.

Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the collaboration and the personalized strategies that Christos provided throughout this process. His support has made a significant difference in my job search journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking guidance in their career development. Thank you, Christos, for your invaluable assistance!

I had the pleasure of working with Chris during my career search. Chris reached out to before I had begun actively looking for my next opportunity. During our initial conversation, it was evident to me that Chris is not simply an expert but also a thoughtful, supportive and honest person. Chris’ questions and suggestions made me realize that my approach lacked strategy and vision. In that moment all I knew was that I was unhappy but was unsure of what direction to take.

Chris and I spent time exploring and identifying my interests as well as roles and firms which support my long-terms professional goals and values. Chris proved to be a Coach in the truest sense.

Chris’ approach to the resume development had immediate ROI in my job search. In fact, it helped me prepare for interviews because it identified my achievements along with their quantifiable results. Once we developed a strategy and refreshed my materials, I begun to gain momentum. I walked into each interview prepared for various scenarios as well as a professional brand to pitch.

The most impactful experience was networking. Chris helped me get out of my comfort zone and connected me to all types of professionals. Each conversation helped me grow confidence and gain perspective.

Thank you, Chris for helping me venture in this difficult job market. Your guidance and support were invaluable! I highly recommend your services to anyone who wants to take a serious and strategic approach to their job search.

I was fortunate enough to work with CSG, and they were an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. Chris clearly articulated the nature of our relationship, set clear expectations for his role and services, and outlined what he needed from me. I appreciated his structured plan, which moved at a quick pace with regular check-ins. He diligently followed through on his responsibilities and ensured I stayed on track with my tasks.

Chris was always available to answer my questions, provide feedback, and offer guidance on leadership roles. He helped me update my resume and provided excellent coaching and insights for interviews. His extensive experience in recruitment allowed me to expand my network significantly. Chris introduced me to key connections relevant to my job search, facilitating new relationships with some amazing people. What a gift!

Thank you, Chris, for all your support, insights, mentoring, and friendship!

Chris did an outstanding job of revising my resume, and profile. He also recommended some platforms that I was not utilizing and facilitated some networking opportunities. As a result of his coaching, I landed in what I think is the perfect spot for me and where I want to take my career…

I was able to land my next finance role at Squarespace within 5 weeks of hiring Chris and CSG. I engaged with CSG primarily because I was hitting a wall in the interview process. The rebranding of my resume and LinkedIn, along with their guidance, really changed how I saw myself as a Finance Executive. I appreciated that their services provided incredible value, especially compared to other options that are much more expensive yet way less thorough. Their focus on understanding the market, positioning myself within it, and support through the interview process were crucial. I felt more confident and prepared, which made all the difference in my interviews. The personalized service and real-world advice I received were incredible and I am thrilled to have landed a great role at Squarespace. I couldn’t have done it without your help. I’d highly recommend Chris and his services to anyone looking to refine their job search strategy and land their next role.

Chris is incredible. So professional, knowledgeable & an expert at his craft. Plus, he is a very good person to boot. Grateful for his insights. Highly recommend!

I have worked with Chris and he has been very knowledgeable and helpful in my search for a general counsel role in the financial services industry. He has been very pleasant to work with, was always very quick in turning around any specific requests, and has provided me with great support throughout the process, all the way up until the acceptance of an incredible offer for my new role.

He helped me build my LinkedIn profile, created bespoke letters and interview questions/answers, and has generally been very helpful and happy to answer any questions I had. I trust his opinion and have been very happy with his contributions and recommend him highly.

CSG’s Career Coaching services are as described and more! He takes a personal interest in seeing you succeed and find your next opportunity while making you feel supported the whole way. He completely revamped my resume and cover letter, and provided interview prep support by introducing new methods to keep answers concise while also providing personalized detailed questions. It was very easy to communicate with Chris as he made himself available at nearly a moment’s notice to prepare for any interview that came my way. Ultimately, I landed a great job and in no small part to Chris’s effort.

Thank you, Chris, for your hard work, I would recommend Chris to any professional on the job market looking to get a leg up on the increasing competition for high-paying/exec-level positions.

Chris has been an excellent resource for me with my job search after battling multiple layoffs in the current economy. As an HR professional and long-term recruiter, I considered myself an “expert” in these types of topics, but Chris and his team at CSG proved me otherwise. The attention to specific details on my resume, action points, data-driven statements, and many other tips and tricks helped me land a job I was happy with after months of searching with no interview requests. If anyone is looking to step up their game interviewing and from a resume perspective Chris & CSG are the best in the business!

My job search needed a re-boot and CSG provided that with expert advice on the job market, an optimized CV and LinkedIn profile. Chris is insightful, responsive, encouraging, disciplined, attentive and very focused on results. In addition to the new documents, he helped me plan a new approach and strategy to my search. He went above and beyond his service description. As a job seeker, I highly recommend Chris as a career advisor and coach.

I had the privilege of working with Chris recently, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. As a career coach, he demonstrated exceptional expertise in revising my resume, LinkedIn profile, and enhancing my interviewing skills. Chris possesses a keen understanding of industry trends and a strategic approach to crafting resumes that truly stand out. He took the time to understand my career goals and tailored the resume accordingly, showcasing my skills and experiences in the most compelling way possible. Additionally, he provided invaluable insights and practical tips to strengthen my interviewing skills. He conducted mock interviews, offering constructive feedback that significantly boosted my confidence during the actual interviews. Working with Chris has been a transformative experience for my career journey. I appreciate his dedication, professionalism, and personalized approach. If you’re seeking a knowledgeable and results-driven career coach, Chris is undoubtedly the best choice. Thank you Chris, for your outstanding guidance and support!

After a layoff, I was back on the job market and knew I needed help. I previously worked with another agency, but the experience didn’t quite meet my expectations. When I started working with Chris, it was immediately clear that his approach was different. He showed me how to effectively use LinkedIn, not just as a profile but as a tool for job searching. His insights on how to present myself and strategize my applications were incredibly helpful.

What stood out the most was Chris’s responsiveness and personal attention. Unlike my past experiences, Chris was quick to answer any question and adept at easing the stress of job searching. He didn’t just work on my resume; he coached me through the entire process, teaching me how to stand out to recruiters and confidently navigate the application process.

Chris’s support was transformative. He used technology to enhance our sessions, making everything from updates to communication seamless. I’m immensely grateful for the customized and strategic advice I received. For anyone who’s been through disappointing experiences with other services, working with Chris will be a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend his services for anyone serious about advancing their career.

Working with Chris and CSG was a game-changer for my job search. As a senior finance, capital markets, and treasury executive, I needed more than just a standard resume and LinkedIn profile – I was looking for a narrative that authentically reflected my expertise. Chris delivered exactly that because he not only ‘gets’ the recruitment side of things but has significant industry knowledge when it comes to financial services, banking, and treasury. That’s what I feel is missing in most other services and career coaches. The crafted tools he prepared were not generic and gained instant traction which made me feel more confident for all of my applications and job search in general.

Beyond that, having Chris as a direct and unlimited resource was immensely valuable, guiding me through aspects of the recruitment process I wasn’t familiar with at all times. I really appreciated his transparency, direct and hands-on approach, and the value he delivered. I got way more out of this than expected and loved the responsiveness and access to get replies to all my questions within minutes, even on weekends. He genuinely cares about his craft and you can tell. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking to advance their job search. Thanks again, Chris!

I recently had the privilege and honor of working with Chris. After reviewing my resume, LinkedIn profile, and listening to my opportunities for change, he quickly ascertained what needed to be done based on the latest search technologies, and communicated it effectively where I could say, “I get it.” I have worked with other executive career coaches and recruiters and greatly appreciate Chris’s insights and effective communication skills, and can highly recommend him to any of his future clients.

Extremely valuable coaching sessions. The application portfolio is fantastic and I am overall very satisfied with the Job Search Essentials Package. The resume and LinkedIn we developed makes a huge difference and I feel that I am more prepared in selling myself in the interview stages. Thanks again for all your help, Chris.

Their knowledge of executive recruitment and hiring processes made Chris and his team an outstanding resource for me when it came to providing a plan for my career direction and updating the application portfolio as well as coaching for individual interviews. Chris provided honest feedback regarding my background, resume, and how to best highlight my background. He is flexible with his approach as he was able to switch directions to coach me for a last-minute interview. His recommendations for the resume, LinkedIn, and cover letters were of extreme value as they helped me to begin getting traction on my applications for more Senior Director/Director roles. Beyond his knowledge, I just love his transparency and genuine passion for what he does best! A true gem that I can highly recommend to anyone looking to advance their careers on the executive level.

Highly recommend. I cannot emphasize my strong recommendation enough. I was struggling in my job search after being on maternal leave for 3 years and Chris worked with me until I got hired! He is unbelievably professional and passionate about what he does. He will clearly and transparently explain his methodology, approach, and fees. The return on investment was unbelievable. 

He is committed to helping and providing value and with him as my full-time coach, I was able to get hired into an executive role within 8 weeks, after previously searching for over 12 months without landing any interviews. He will hold your hand and be consistent, he is punctual and always flexible and reachable. You can contact him and he will answer you in less than a few hours (I should really say minutes!). He is empathetic. This is probably his best quality (and my favorite). 

When you are struggling (e.g., in finding a job, your passion, your next step, etc.) having a coach who actually makes an effort to understand you and keeps you accountable, makes your journey feel so much lighter, simply because of the fact that he makes you feel like you are not alone and that two heads think better than one. He is humble. If there is something industry specific that he will not know or understand, he will tell you and propose a solution. He is very honest. In general, if you are executive or at the director level, unemployed or employed, in search of a change, I truly believe his coaching and consulting services will give perspective and provide the necessary tools to land a job and salary increase in a timely manner. 

If you want certainty on achieving actual results and getting a return on your investment, then I highly recommend you reach out to Chris. Talk to him and the changes will start to happen! Thanks for everything, working with you has been life changing for me.

I highly recommend Chris, even if just for a one hour session like I’ve started with, he is well worth it. Within our intro session he powered through many items I wanted to touch on like interviewing, salary negotiation, resume and cover letter including an AI tutorial, and LinkedIn feedback. With his background I know I saved hours of research and misinformation on how to best go about my job search. His optimism is contagious and had me leaving feeling very confident. I look forward to working with him further.

I signed up with Chris’ Job Search Essentials program a couple of months after my husband had done the same thing and I could not believe the instant traction both my resume and LinkedIn finally generated. I started receiving messages and inMails from hiring managers and Recruiters for relevant positions and was invited for interviews instantly after the revamp and optimization of my LinkedIn.

Simultaneously, with the new resume, cover letter, and application strategy I also began receiving positive feedback for my cold applications. Chris goes above and beyond to prepare application materials that work and tell your entire story. The responsiveness of his team and himself is unmatched (almost as if they never sleep!) – there’s never a time you felt like this was not 100% worth your investment and I am so glad I listened to my husband and hired Chris to help me speed up my job search!

Chris was an excellent coach and offered so much valuable support during my job search process. The resume, LinkedIn, and cover letter we developed generated responses and interview invites really fast. His interview preparation and mock coaching sessions were what was most valuable to me and helped me get into final rounds at major multinational corporations and financial institutions such as Barclays. I strongly recommend his expertise as an executive career coach to anyone that is seeking to find a new role or advance their career!

At that point in my career one of the biggest challenges I faced was getting past the automated tracking systems (ATS) and recruiter screens. Chris’s deep understanding of how these systems operate, combined with his comprehensive knowledge of the actual recruitment process by being in the field of HR was immensely useful. There were so many things that he helped me understand how Recruiters and Hiring Managers actually operate. Under Chris’s guidance, my resume transformed into a powerful marketing tool. He was able to analyze my professional experiences, skills, and achievements, and showcased them in a way that made me stand out. 

He instantly improved my chances of going through the first phase of the application process and helped me get noticed by employers that I wanted to work for! I highly recommend Chris!

I had the privilege of working with Chris as my career mentor and job-seeking coach, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional professional in this field. Chris possesses a deep understanding of the hiring process, the perspectives of recruiters, and the mindset of hiring managers.

His guidance and consultancy were instrumental in refining my resume for new career opportunities, optimizing my LinkedIn profile, and creating a vision that aligned perfectly with my values and life goals. Chris is known for his transparency and direct approach, providing invaluable insights and advice while being incredibly supportive throughout the journey.

I highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking career guidance, mentorship, or coaching in their job search. He’s not only knowledgeable but also a pleasure to work with, and his expertise will undoubtedly make a positive impact on your career endeavors.

Chris and his team did an amazing job helping me with my resume. He took the resume I had and helped create a version that really highlighted my accomplishments. With his help, I am extremely hopeful of receiving positive responses on my applications going forward. I recommend his services to those transitioning, or preparing to open themselves to new positions in the future.

Christos did an amazing job with my resume. He took the resume I had and transformed it into a version that really highlighted my accomplishments and successes. This is the version that I am using to land my next role.

Can highly recommend working with Chris & CSG. I first completed the Job Search Essentials career coaching & development program and then decided to continue working with Chris long-term for a couple of months until I got hired. All of the sessions, tests, and career strategies have been of immense value to me on a professional and personal level. 

What distinguishes CSG to me is that you gain tangible value out of the sessions and your financial investment. The resume and application materials which we developed gained instant traction and helped me get into the interview stages within 2 – 3 weeks. Working with Chris until I got hired was the best investment I made because I was able to land a fully remote role at Google and make my dream of moving and working from Greece a reality. Chris’ access to Recruiters and Hiring Managers at multinational corporations, tech, and finance companies alone, made the full executive coaching package worth it for me as it enabled me to finally gain the necessary referrals and contacts to get into the interview stages. 

There was never a time during which I felt we were wasting time and anything that we would be doing was always based on Chris’ experience actually working as a Recruiter. I think that what also made a difference to me was the transparency in terms of cost and value and the fact that Chris would go above and beyond to finish what we had planned for each session – rather than focus on a specific amount of time. He responds to emails, phone calls, and messages 24-hours a day – while him and CSG appear to a big operation, helping hundreds of jobseekers, it never feels that way. 

I always felt like a top priority and that was ultimately what also helped me stay accountable and dedicated to the job search process. Many times, we stayed on for 20-30 minutes longer than scheduled simply because it was needed and there were no additional charges. Can only recommend working with Chris & thanks again for all your help!

Chris and CSG have helped me perfect my resume and application portfolio. His interview preparation was invaluable and allowed me to finally pass the Recruiter screens and get into the offer stages. After completing the Job Search Essentials Package I landed serious interviews for roles that were $30,000 – $40,000 above my current salary within 4 weeks at companies such as Amazon and Google.

Chris is a great resource for interview preparation and a phenomenal resume writer. While working with him, he helped me schedule a plan of action and gave me valuable tips for interviewing that we consistently practiced. I strongly recommend working with Chris if you are a jobseeker.

Christos is a fantastic coach! He helped me prepare for an interview at the last minute and brought tremendous insights. He shared some great tips for overhauling my resume. Christos is flexible and forthright, and knows how to offer feedback that makes a difference.

Collaborating with CSG had a profound impact on my professional life. Chris did an excellent job revamping my resume and LinkedIn profile, but more importantly, he helped me regain my confidence and focus during my job search, which was almost a self-discovery personal journey. CSG’s expertise in professional career mapping enabled me to clarify my goals and skills, refine my job-seeking approach, and set clear goals and timelines.

Chris is an exceptional mentor who instilled greater self-assurance in me, which helped me approach interviews with newfound confidence. Thanks to his support, I could secure a role that matches my aspirations within our planned timeframe. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to enhance their career prospects and unlock their true potential.

Working with Chris was an absolute pleasure! He doesn’t waste any time and goes straight to what matters, providing clear, actionable steps to get results. His advice gave me the edge I needed to stand out in today’s competitive job market.

If you’re looking to revamp your resume, enhance your professional profile, or need expert guidance on how to make a lasting impression, I highly recommend scheduling a session with Chris! You won’t regret it.

I highly recommend investing in yourself and Chris as a career coach for anyone looking to make a significant change in their career. Chris has helped me transition into the corporate world from being a chef through his coaching program that includes absolutely everything from start to finish. 

Over the course of our sessions, he used his insider expertise to prepare my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile, which immediately helped me get noticed by recruiters and hiring managers. Most valuable to me, was the interview preparation sessions which allowed me to leverage my previous experiences as a Chef and explain how I could be of value to any company in a corporate role. Additionally, I benefited most from Chris’ connections to recruiters and hiring managers within his network. 

With the career coaching program I completed, I landed an interview with a major multinational company within only 4 weeks and I will be forever grateful for Chris’ genuine help and interest even after our sessions finished. I can truly say that Chris challenged me to step out of my comfort zone, giving me the confidence and skills, I needed to succeed in my career and life. His passion, knowledge, and dedication towards his craft and clients’ success is contagious and truly inspiring!

Chris has been an invaluable resource with resume preparation after my recent graduation and career change. After attempting to complete my resume independently, I found myself overwhelmed and discouraged with the process. During my sessions with Chris, his enthusiasm, empathy, and compassion fostered a safe space for crucial dialogue that allowed me to streamline a career path that aligns with my short-term and long-term goals. 

After sharing the job descriptions of the roles, I desired, he assisted me in customizing a resume that highlights my experience for maximum impact from the recruiter’s perspective. His creativity, business acumen, and recruitment expertise will assist you in landing your next career! I highly recommend CSG whether you are changing career paths or entering the workforce for the first time.

Chris and his team at CSG were very helpful in getting me prepared for the multiple rounds of interviews I was up against. His positive demeanor kept me mentally grounded as well as optimistic. His insights into the interview process were much appreciated, and the support he provided left me feeling exponentially more confident than before we collaborated.

I can genuinely recommend CSG and Chris as an executive career coach. His broad network and ability to push you out of your comfort zone to get things done makes him particularly effective. He didn’t just provide a solution but carefully analyzed my strengths, weaknesses, and professional goals to create an action plan that truly worked. Thanks to his program, my application portfolio finally reflects my achievements and skills in the best light.

Chris has taught me how to build valuable professional connections, expand my executive/C-Suite network, and find job opportunities through his contacts. One of the most effective parts of the program was the interview training and mocks we conducted for each individual HR screen or interview round.

It’s important to note that Chris is incredibly responsive, especially in last-minute or urgent interview situations. He was always ready to help and supported me when it was most needed. His advice, techniques, and HR knowledge have been invaluable to my career, but what I want to highlight the most is that he genuinely cares about what he’s doing, which shows in the way he approaches his craft and tasks with you as a client. There was never a time during which I felt like I couldn’t ask for something or didn’t receive 100% support, as well as value for my money. I am immensely grateful to him for his professionalism, kindness, and outstanding results.

If you seek a career coach who will help you achieve your career goals or get you hired into a new position, I can wholeheartedly say that Chris and his team at CSG is the ideal choice, and you will not find someone who will approach you with more outstanding care!

Christos was extremely helpful and provided excellent recommendations to help me revamp my resume. He went beyond expectations by not just giving recommendations, but explaining in detail the background information of any recommendation and why it makes sense given what companies tend to look for. The turnaround time of communications was very quick, and he treats career coaching in a much more personable and individual way which helps him to really understand what you are looking for and what help you need. I highly recommend meeting with him!

Chris helped me in my job search which I am forever grateful for. He is very professional in communication, knows his field and is passionate about what he does and specifically in helping people find a job and career they are happy in. Christos made many improvements in my CV, with his efficient and friendly style of communication. I would undeniably recommend his services.
