"Seth is a great coach.
He helped me not only focus my search efforts but also refine my
communication skills. Seth's style of coaching is the "how and why"
style which I believe is the most effective (no sense knowing how to use
a tool if you don't understand why you're using it).
Seth's sessions are one on one, never under any time constraints, and
very personable and thorough. I would highly recommend Seth to any
career seeker who's lost their direction, drive, or simply need to hone
their skills." - Tim Bukowski
“I never really liked having to "sell" myself when networking or interviewing. Seth helped me to uncover my unique value proposition and how to communicate it in a convincing way. What I learned in the process went far beyond getting to the next step in my career, Seth' insights have forever changed how I communicate and present myself and my ideas.” - Stefan Ahrensdorf
“Looking for a new job in the biotech industry while at the same time considering a possible career change, I called Seth on recommendation by a friend and former client of Seth’s. The first phone conversation with Seth immediately convinced me that I wanted to hire him as a career coach. Over the course of the following two sessions, Seth not only provided effective coaching in up-to-date job search strategies, he also helped me take a fresh look at my core strengths and professional goals. I have left the sessions with a better understanding of where I am and where I want to go, and with an arsenal of tools that I could already put to use in first interviews. In addition to the high quality of his service, it was Seth’s spirit that made the sessions with him a true delight. In his own words, Seth is doing what he “was meant to do”, and after working with him I can fully support this statement. He does not just want to sell you his service; Seth wants you to succeed. True to this spirit, Seth has made himself available for follow-up advice whenever needed. I strongly recommend Seth’s services to anybody looking for a new job in these tough times!”

“Seth helped me focus on developing my brand to market myself when searching for a job. He guides you in refocusing your efforts in networking to research industries and hiring managers via tools like Linkedin, and networking events. That way you can reach out directly to the hiring managers versus getting blocked by gatekeepers who are systematically reviewing resumes. Seth is a pleasure to work with. He not only provided guidance, he is a support as well when going through the challenge of searching for career opportunities. He is readily accessible and has vast experience to tap into when searching for positions or researching industries and even negotiating with employers, all of which helped me land the current job I wanted”
- Tony Habiger
“Seth was exactly the person I needed to be talking to during my job search and interview process. Making the transition from the service industry was a daunting task in itself, but Seth was extremely skillful in enlightening me on the process and helping build a solid foundation of confidence and a clear way forward. I'm happy to say that over three years on, I'm still with the same company and continuing to expand my role and experience. What's more, I made use of his strategies in reverse when it came time for me to conduct interviews - now that's value added!”
- Michael Bender
“I highly endorse Seth to partner with you to meet your career goals. Seth's business acumen teamed up with his unique methodology and personal touch are a winning combination. He is a wonderful motivator/coach and will help you stay focused.”
- Gayna Scott
“I highly recommend Seth for any kind of career coaching, or even life/goal mentoring. After being laid off from my position of over 10 years as a Senior Traffic/Transportation Engineer, he first helped me identify my new career goals. Seth then provided me with insights into having a proper attitude, effective networking and productive job searching. Using his techniques I was able to obtain several interviews. His guidance and wisdom then helped me focus and hone my interview skills in order to land the [my] ideal job I have now. You can't get a better mentor or career coach than Seth!”
- Mikhail Ekshtut
“Seth really brings the job seeker to a whole new level of development for job seeking and resume writing that allows you to be competitive in 2009. Seth has amazing insights on what employers are looking for and what will catch their eye on the resume. I am excited as I embark on my new adventure into seeking employment. Through Seth’s coaching and assessment teachings, I was able to define my strengths, and interests. “I cannot recommend Seth highly enough. The PAR’s Self-Assessment provided a wealth of valuable data for me, but Seth took it to an elevated level of interpretation and translated it into practical application. With his ability to understand and convey the broad concepts as well as nuances of the data, I came away with new insights and a clear understanding of not only my brand but also the demographic for which my skills and abilities are well suited.” - Michael Nitso
“Seth is an amazing life & career coach! Seth has inspired and guided me in career and life decisions for the past decade, helping me pave a clear path to create my own success. Seth is a natural when it comes to offering advice and techniques to help accomplish career and life goals, which is why I have continued to work with him over the years. I especially have been grateful in his interviewing techniques that have helped me over the years in various career fields. I highly recommend working with Seth to anyone who is looking for a guiding light in their career or life path search AND for easy to learn techniques that work!” - Ruah Bhay
“Seth is truly an expert in coaching job seekers on how to position themselves to be found from companies who need their expertise. There is a psychology and technique I was not aware of in the job search market. I was quite amazed at how I can better elaborate and demonstrate my strengths and value to an employer. Seth is able to guide a job seeker to look at the current job search market and better understand what employers are seeking. Seth is AWESOME! Anyone who seeks to have an advantage in either their hiring or job search methods would benefit from Seth Basker!”
