Pearlman Career Counseling

Highly recommend working with Lauren! As a recent college graduate, I felt that searching for the right job was challenging and filled with many unknowns. However, Lauren made the challenges and unknowns seem less daunting. Lauren helped me to understand my own strengths, interests, and passions better. She gave me the tools that I lacked to find a job that I am excited about! Resume and interview prep was incredibly helpful, especially for a recent grad like myself! After working with Lauren for only 2 months, I was able to secure a role in my dream field! I do not believe that I would have found this role without the knowledge, expertise, and support from Lauren! She is a great person and great to work with at any stage in your career! Thank you Lauren for all of your advice and support!

Lauren was a tremendous asset in my job search. Her expertise and guidance were instrumental in refining my resume, highlighting key achievements, and tailoring it to the jobs I was pursuing. Additionally, Lauren's interview preparation was exceptional, providing me with valuable tips and strategies to present myself confidently. She not only helped me anticipate common legal interview questions but also coached me on articulating my experiences effectively. I highly recommend Lauren as a legal job coach to anyone seeking tailored guidance, insightful feedback, and a dedicated partner in their professional development.

Lauren patiently worked with me to identify my strengths when I was in the process of transitioning out of Financial Services (FinTech) to Legal Services (Practice Management). Lauren took copious notes, asked relevant questions and translated my work experiences into a resume that amplified my transferable skills. Lauren's resume services were exactly what I needed at the time that I was referred to her. ******

Lauren is wonderful to work with! I walked into her office with an outdated resume, and very little focus. Within hours she helped me formulate an efficient plan for tackling a complicated job search, and within days had revised my resume to support an approach for marketing myself in the best possible light. When the time came to prepare for interviews, Lauren helped me organize my thoughts and "sales pitch." She really made an unpleasant process so much less stressful. Thanks to Lauren, I was offered (and accepted) a new job in a matter of months!

Lauren's work is outstanding. She's an incredible resource for a very wide range of issues and questions.  One of the things I appreciated most about her advice is that she provides concrete answers.  When there was an issue that raised competing concerns, instead of just talking through those competing concerns and leaving me with an "it depends", Lauren was armed with data, experience, and other intangibles and could chart the best way forward, which was comforting and helped reduce the stress of the job search process.  Lauren is extremely diligent and went far above and beyond what other career coaches offer: instead of waiting for me to raise a concern, she proactively identified issues that I had not considered, and thought through and presented options and proposals on how to deal with those issues.  Her knowledge, efficiency and thorough approach gave me great confidence in her work and advice.  A consummate professional, I could not recommend Lauren more highly.

Lauren's meticulous, thoughtful, and immensely resourceful approach to career counseling is simply incredible. From resume writing and review, to networking/outreach strategy, Lauren helped me re-think my approach to the job search and my career path at large. I sought out Lauren's help during a period of post law school/ bar uncertainty and stagnation, and I can safely say that her guidance was pivotal in finally securing employment. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone!

I highly recommend Pearlman Career Counseling for anyone going through the OCI process. Working with Lauren was awesome. She's incredibly intelligent, patient, and has extensive knowledge of the law firm recruiting world. Lauren gave my resume a complete makeover, making it sound much more professional and appealing to law firms. She also crafted an impressive cover letter from scratch. The interview prep session was a game-changer as it literally helped me land my dream job. Lauren taught me how to present myself effectively during interviews by focusing on the most valuable aspects of my resume. I attend a T30 law school and my grades are decent (nothing to ride home about), and I can honestly say that thanks to Lauren's guidance during this process, I was able to compensate for that. Lauren is also an expert in the logistical aspects of law firm applications. She knows which firms to target and how to navigate the pre-OCI process, which has become increasingly popular in recent years. For anyone in law school looking to secure a big-law job, I highly recommend using Pearlman Career Counseling. It is worth every penny, and Lauren is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Lauren does an excellent job. She is very responsive and works hard for her clients. She comes prepared for her meetings, ready to present and discuss the important aspects of the career choices that her clients are facing, while considering their short and long-term goals. Lauren is not afraid to provide constructive criticism, and she is always truthful and objective. She was a great resource in helping me secure a federal clerkship. I highly recommend her services.

Lauren brings a wealth of experience acquired from her time as an attorney and recruiter at some of the most prestigious law firms in the world. This is made evident through her insights into the hiring process, her meticulousness in reviewing resumes, and her clear strategic guidance. Prior to meeting Lauren, my job search was a disorganized morass with uncertain objectives. Lauren crafted a strategy for reaching out to organizations that were consistent with my interests and career goals. She coached me through the interview process, down to the most minute details. Even after I secured an incredible opportunity, she had no shortage of advice on how to navigate my way through the job. Lauren was truly instrumental in providing clarity to an otherwise opaque process and she is a pleasure to work with.

Lauren’s assistance is invaluable. She is an expert who helps you tailor your approach to the job hunt in the most effective and organized way possible. Lauren came to every meeting prepared with a detailed plan on how to approach every interview, meeting, or phone call. She helped me organize my existing professional contacts, as well as helped me search for ways in which to extend my reach and expand my network. I was able to approach interviews with confidence as Lauren had already researched the position, helped me practice, and think about the kinds of questions I might be asked based on the type of interview, as well as who would be conducting the interview. I cannot recommend her services enough, especially during this difficult time. I am grateful for all of her help, enthusiasm, and advice.
