Highlights of Offers Accepted:

Appreciation:

We are grateful to hear feedback from our clients and thank them for their comments as well as their Google reviews. 

Here are two highlights from this quarter’s 5-star Google reviews.

They are from satisfied TBG clients, Alan Strange and Fayez Istanbuli:

“As the National Sales Director for a global biotech company, I managed a team of 48 and oversaw $63 million in revenue. After two and a half years, I was blindsided by a sudden layoff due to a massive reorganization. It shook my confidence. I questioned myself: Why me? What could I have done differently?

At first, I tried the traditional approach—mass-applying to jobs on LinkedIn—but the response was discouraging. Despite applying to dozens of positions, callbacks were few and far between. When I finally received a promising offer, it was rescinded at the last minute due to financial constraints. That was my breaking point. I knew I needed professional help.

I found The Barrett Group (TBG) early in my job search but initially hesitated. After my setback, I reconsidered. I thoroughly researched TBG and even reached out to past clients I found on my own. Their feedback gave me the confidence to move forward.

I started with the Clarity Program, working with Laura Roberts, who helped me realize I wasn’t truly happy in my previous role. I wanted more autonomy and purpose, which wasn’t possible in the corporate world. Laura’s energy and optimism helped me embrace this career reset.

Next, I worked with Amanda Stockton to overhaul my job search strategy. She revamped my resume, transforming it into a professional document that highlighted my achievements. She also taught me to leverage my LinkedIn network. By reconnecting with former colleagues and nurturing relationships, I found surprising support and new opportunities.

Within weeks, my job search gained momentum. I ended up with two excellent offers. One came from a referral through an old friend, while the other resulted from persistent networking with a recruiter who initially dismissed me. Amanda’s coaching helped me navigate the delicate process of choosing the right fit.

Today, I’m thriving as a Regional Sales Director at a small, fast-growing diagnostics company. The culture feels like a family, and I wake up excited to make an impact. Thanks to TBG, I didn’t just find a new job—I found a better career and gained the tools to succeed long-term.” – Alan Strange

“I completed the clarity program with Tatiana, and I want to thank her for her dedication to helping me navigate the program with clarity and purpose. Her insights, support, and unwavering commitment to my growth have made a significant difference in my journey.” – Fayez Istanbuli
