Ryan Dickerson

Choosing to work with Ryan was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my career. Ryan is easy to talk to, knowledgeable on every aspect of the job market, and he is very efficient. He answered every question I had and made the time to coach me when I needed it. Thanks to Ryan, I started hearing back from companies within the day when I had previously not heard back at all. The resume that Ryan created tells my story in a much clearer way, but it still feels like me. 

I would (and already have) highly recommend Ryan for anyone that just needs some help navigating today’s job market – he knows what they’re looking for, and how to bridge the gap between what they are looking for and what you’re looking for.

When it was time for me to pursue a new opportunity I was looking for a true partner that would help guide me through the entire process. I found that and more with Ryan. His approach to developing a full strategy to help me find the best opportunity was both personal and complete. Ryan listens to understand what you have accomplished but also what you want out of your next opportunity and he provides candid feedback to help guide you though your journey. After my experience with Ryan, I am a client for life and would, without a doubt, recommend Ryan to anyone looking for their next opportunity.

Incredible work. Ryan is direct, professional, efficient, and thorough. His knowledge of the executive search and interview process is top notch. He worked with me over the course of a couple weeks and the result was a flood of high quality job offers. I was able to pick the job I liked the best and was hired within a week. Even if you’re skilled at the interview process, I would still recommend hiring him to polish your profile. I’m a very satisfied customer.

I’ve told Ryan this a few times, but I think of him as the ‘air traffic controller’ of career consulting – he possesses the same calm, collected demeanor that makes you instantly know you’re in the right hands. I was apprehensive about a recent job change and very unsure of how to proceed; Ryan instantly helped me put those fears aside and helped me to begin thinking more concretely about what I wanted, and what I needed to do to get there. 

His resume-writing skills are phenomenal, and the end product was clearly superior to anything I would have produced on my own. I’m sure he was responsible for the large spike in interest I received after refreshing my resume. 

Ryan also has an uncanny ability to drill down deeply into your goals and really help you understand what you’re looking for, what your dream job truly is. He truly cares for his clients and follows up regularly to make sure things are going well – he is not the kind of consultant who ghosts once he gets paid. Once you’ve got Ryan on your team, he’s on your team for good. 

Trust me, Ryan is basically the All State Insurance of career consulting: you’re in good hands.

 Ryan helped me find my confidence again by asking questions to remind me of what I have done throughout my career and believe in myself again. Ryan worked with me to enhance my resume and LinkedIn profile, and to improve my interview and negotiating skills. Ryan knows how to ask the right questions that challenge you to think differently about yourself and your accomplishments without you even realizing that he’s doing it. In every conversation I felt like I was the only person Ryan was working with – his thoughtful patience, probing questions, and experience as a recruiter make him an amazing coach. I recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking to stand out in the recruiting process and who needs help figuring out what the next step is and how best to get there.

Ryan was a tremendous resource as I considered alternative career paths and looked for ways to develop professionally. While I can think of numerous ways in which Ryan helped me evaluate myself and new opportunities to consider, what I valued the most was his consistency and fact-based approach to a process that can be very emotionally driven. I look back on some of the guiding principles Ryan helped me bring to the surface, that were important to me, and feel very thankful that I had an opportunity to work with him. I consider Ryan and mentor, expert in his field, and friend.

 Ryan has and innate ability to empower you forward and has been a powerful professional guide, helping me understand how I wanted to shape the next phase of my career. From our first meeting, he worked with me to fully understand exactly what I hoped to achieve with an executive coach, what questions I would need to answer to understand my next career moves, and what to focus on to achieve those goals by eliminating the “noise” of decision-making. We worked together over the course of the last year to lay out a comprehensive plan and navigated very specific professional scenarios. The most valuable thing he did for me was to teach me not to just be intelligent, but to be distinctive and to bring intention into all of my actions. I continue to work with him and highly recommend him to anyone who is ready to seriously take charge of their professional growth and career.

A search for a “resume writer” to update my LinkedIn profile led me to Ryan – who is so much more than a writer. Using his experience in executive recruiting, he provides advice and counsel that far exceeds standard career coaching. He took the time to get to know me, understand my career experiences and future goals. From there we tailored my resume and optimized my LinkedIn page. I saw an increase in recruiter views almost immediately! I highly recommend Ryan and would definitely work with him again.
