What Our Clients Are Saying

Evan L.

Director of Operations

Siddhi Capital

★★★★★

Debra has been instrumental in helping me move to a new work position. I hadn't been in the job search arena for almost decade. It was somewhat of a scary space to be. If you have not noticed things have change a lot in the last 10 yrs in the job market. She led me through the process at my pace and got me ready to get back out there. She helped from resume writing, interviewing, all the way down to negotiating. It is great to have some one in your corner leading you along. If you are looking for someone to lead you through every step or if you want some to hold you accountable look no further. Debra has been doing this for long time and has totally stayed current with all the new job hunting skills. I couldn't recommend her enough!

★★★★★

I have whole-heartedly appreciated Debra's thought, comfort, and guidance through some turbulent times in my career. I am grateful for Debra's support and encouragement and she has always steered me in the right direction - toward my growth edge - while at a sustainable pace. Debra has truly found her calling and is highly skilled in many ways, but my favorite quality is her generosity of spirit. Thank you for your support, Debra! Anyone would be lucky to have you as their coach.

Teladoc Health

★★★★★

Debra is a fantastic career coach! I was on the job market and Debra listened to my needs to help me find the perfect job. She helped me re-do my LinkedIn profile, taught me how to optimize my resume and cover letter when applying for jobs, and the networking skills she taught me will benefit the rest of my career. Furthermore, Debra prepared me for interviews and did a mock interview to help me practice and give me feedback. On top of being a great career coach, Debra is kind, empathetic, and optimistic.

Barbra S.

Sr. Director, Legal Counsel

Fundbox Inc

★★★★★

Debra is a wonderful career coach! She immediately makes you feel supported and understood. Debra was invaluable at helping me update my LinkedIn, searching for network connections and updating my resume. I absolutely recommend her to anyone starting a job search. Thanks for everything, Debra!

Jason H.

Sr. Manager, Integrated Audit

★★★★★

I started working with Debra after I was laid off from the Technology industry during Fall 2023. She provided me with invaluable guidance, coaching and support throughout my job search during one of the toughest job markets in recent history. I most appreciated her professionalism, honesty and empathy as a coach. During difficult times, it is important to have reliable individuals to support and guide you. From assisting me on updating my resume, preparing for interviews, and assessing different job opportunities, Debra prepared me well for my job search.

Matt T.

Distinguished Engineer

Marvell

★★★★★

Debra is a great coach! Debra has a great knack for asking probing questions and then the patience to listen to answers. Working with Debra helped me to navigate all aspects of my latest job search -- from my personal profile, to interviewing, to negotiating multiple offers and finally guiding me through a rational decision process.

Corona N

Program Manager

CompuNet

★★★★★

After nearly three decades in technology services, within the public sector vertical, I found myself seeking employment elsewhere for the first time. While I was extremely confident in my skills and abilities, I found the job search and recruitment process much more grueling than I had anticipated. Debra coached me through all of the subtle nuances of polishing my resume and presentation. She was a power packed shot of positivity when my impatience started to impact my confidence. While I hope to never repeat the experience, I know the formula for success will include Debra if she is available.

Anthony D.

Director, Revenue Growth Office

★★★★★

I can provide my highest recommendation for Debra Armstrong as a career coach. When I was laid off from my tech job of over ten years due to COVID, I felt unsure of my next steps both from a strategic standpoint (roles I might suited for, target companies to approach, etc.) and a tactical perspective (updating my resume, writing LinkedIn posts, etc.) I'm happy that Debra is excellent at providing insightful guidance on the big job-search questions (i.e., what do I want to do next) AND experience-led tactics to structure the work of finding a job.

Jamo B.

Product Director

Walker Tape

★★★★★

I truly enjoyed working with Debra. Her insight and coaching was high value for me in my career. Having an advocate and coach help to refine your professional voice and approach in job searches and resumes was very worth it. I highly recommend working with Debra.

The best investment you can make is in yourself

You may be asking yourself: 'Is career coaching right for me?' or 'Should I invest in a Job Search Program?'

These are great questions and part of the answer lies in more questions:

Have you looked for a job in the last 5 years?
Are you familiar with new technologies and role that AI plays in hiring decisions?
Could you use some help in formulating and executing your job search?

If these apply to you, then working with NexxtLevel Careers can make your transition a lot quicker and easier.

Let's start with Your Job Search Playbook. The idea behind having a step-by-step 'program' is for you to be able to tackle each aspect of today's job search, module by module – and have a roadmap to success laid out for you. You work on your time and at your speed – with weekly Group Coaching sessions to get your individual answers – tools that you can use and support from your fellow seekers.

On the other hand, you may want to tackle a specific aspect of your career or need more focused collaboration. For this, NLC has 1-on-1 Coaching, and working with Debra and the Team is what you are looking for. While the Program could be seen as more cost-efficient, individual coaching may be more effective for you.

While hiring a coach or participating in a program may seem expensive, missing a job opportunity can be even more so. Working with a coach in any structure is really an investment in yourself, helping to optimize your job search, career direction and having someone to share this journey with!
