TBCC seems to have a pulse on the executive environment both Pre and Post Covid. They provide good proven coaching resources as well as relevant and useful information to reduce the lead time to placement. High marks to the effectiveness of the organization as well as my primary highly effective contacts Bharath Tolappa, Tom Southall, and Jim Austgen. Also, Rosie Zilinskas for the 30 60 90 Workshop in preparation of my start.

I have utilized The Barrington Career Center multiple times. I think that they provide the best job search assistance out of anyone. I have talked with alumni from Kellogg and Booth (top business schools). They only get 5 hours of career counseling a year. The coaches have been very helpful.

I will never forget the phenomenal support and training I received from The Barrington Career Center. I owe my coaches, Doug Reed and Jim Austgen, for the compassion, support, and motivational ideas they shared with me during this crazy "job journey".

The Barrington Career Center has provided much needed structure during an unsettling time of COVID-19 with a new job search after many years out of the job market. To complicate the search I was a Senior Manager concerned about navigating a job search within such a difficult economic environment. I found the program offerings and individual job coach invaluable to me and the primary reason I landed within one month of being laid off!
