OUR SUCCESSES

“Going into my job search I had done a lot of internships in my field, but was not having success landing a desirable job. Heather provided me with the tools and information I needed to implement a successful job search. She is a great coach who really knows how to guide a person through and through. Soon after working with her, I landed a great job in one of the top companies in my field!”
Thomas B.
New York, NY -
“When I first started my job search, I was unaware of the opportunities that I had available to me. Heather not only assisted me with finding jobs that were related to my long term goals, but also aided me in creating a game plan for my job search. After working with Heather and doing a mock-interview session as well as learning how to best prepare for a large industry focused career symposium, I felt much more confident with my interviewing skills. I ultimately found a job that I enjoy and is pertinent to building my resume as I apply to grad school. I highly recommend Gainfully as a key resource to help recent grads navigate their job or internship search.”

“Heather is a rock star coach! She effortlessly transformed my work history into a compelling story that I was able to digest and confidently deliver during an initial phone call with a recruiter. First impressions mean so much. I will definitely work with Heather again and I highly recommend Gainfully whether you are writing your resume, job searching or just need to brush up on your presentation skills. Thank you, Heather”

“Heather has been a tremendous help to me in my summer internship search. She has been organized, motivating, and has led me to various interviews and offers. I recommend her to anyone who is looking to get employed at reputable companies in a relatively short period of time. Above all, she is kind and cares about her clients, and I feel lucky to have worked with her!”

Heather is fantastic! She helped both my kids obtain their dream job/internship. My kids are very different in both their personalities, talents and drive. Heather was able to tap into their specific strengths and motivate each of them to reach their full potential. She goes way above and beyond the call of duty and served as a life coach as well as a job coach. I think her greatest quality is that she really cares and her clients can tell. I can not recommend her highly enough!

“What Gainfully did for our son was nothing short of magic! Heather instilled confidence. Shortly after they met and went through mock interviews as part of the Comprehensive Grad Package, our son landed a great summer internship. Thank you Heather!”

“Gainfully really helped my son with the process of applying for his first job after college. His confidence grew and he immediately began to receive offers for interviews – two months later started his first job! Heather really made a big difference and I thoroughly recommend her.”
Nicky W.

“Heather was amazing and without any doubt my son got his first job because of all the advice and support he received from his Gainfully Grad Package. I highly recommend Heather to help guide any recent grad through this difficult period.”

GAINFULLY LEADERSHIP
As a Senior Talent Acquisition Leader for more than 20 years, Heather has advised hiring managers and HR departments at Fortune 500 companies on how to identify, attract and hire the best talent. With experience working across multiple industries, she is well-versed in the methodologies and tools recruiters actually use. Throughout her career she has seen too many recent college graduates come up short in their job searches. Based on feedback from countless hiring managers and search committees, she knows firsthand who gets hired and who doesn’t.
An open water swimmer and former competitive triathlete, Heather is not afraid of a difficult challenge. After college, she travelled alone throughout Southeast Asia for almost a year. She then settled in New York City to pursue a career in acting, attending a two-year program at Classic Stage Company, an award winning Off-Broadway theater. Heather’s approach in Gainfully draws upon these experiences: preparing for a job search is not unlike preparing for a role in a play or an athletic event. Research, focus, and practice are required to perform your best.
“I started Gainfully to combine my expertise in recruitment with my passion for helping young people launch their careers.”
