Hear from Those who Found Their Future

"Nancy is a seasoned professional who understands high tech and what executive recruiters are looking for. I hadn't actively searched for jobs in years and my resume didn't do a good job of capturing my strengths and core competencies. It was a painstaking process to go through the last 10 years of my career and to really dig deep into what I brought to each role and then to express that in a way that could be understood by others. It took diligence and perseverance on both of our parts, but it was worth it!"
Margaret L.
Senior Executive, Intel Corp.
“I am a recent college graduate just beginning my job search in a focused field of study; oceanography. To say the least, job opportunities available in oceanography are limited and there is plenty of competition. I knew I would need to do more than apply on job boards to find the kind of job I wanted in my field and wasn’t sure how to get started.

That’s when Nancy came on board. To begin with, Nancy helped me pull together an amazing resume that would help me stand out above other applicants. Then, she taught me how to research companies, opportunities, and identify hiring managers in my field. With plenty of coaching and guidance, I was able to identify, contact and schedule interviews with potential hiring managers. Before any interviews, Nancy and I spent many hours practicing informational and job interviewing techniques until I felt comfortable and ready.

Here’s the part that really matters – I’m employed! With lots of informational interviews under my belt, I had 3 job interviews that resulted in two offers! Overall, because of Nancy, I am confident in describing my experience and the value I think I can bring to a position and she made the process fun!!”

“….the FutureStreet Program really works! In a short period of time, Maddy built a powerful professional network AND received two job offers!

With the help of FutureStreet, Maddy will leave behind her job as a barista and begin her career in exactly the position she had hoped for using her degree in oceanography as a shipboard educator.

Maddy is thrilled and so are we!”
Paula Savage (Maddy's Mom)
Technology and Business Acceleration Strategist
"As a father, watching my daughters navigate their careers has been both exciting and at times overwhelming. Maddy and Sammy, though twins, have completely different personalities, interests, and career paths. Maddy pursued a degree in oceanography, drawn to the world of marine science, while Sammy took a more structured route in accounting and finance. Despite their unique aspirations, Nancy was able to support both of them in a way that was tailored, strategic, and incredibly effective.

Nancy worked with Maddy right out of college, helping her define her career path, build confidence, and navigate the competitive job market in her niche field. With her guidance, Maddy landed a role that aligned with her passion!
Sammy, on the other hand, connected with Nancy later in her journey when she found herself unfulfilled at a small CPA firm. Nancy helped her articulate what she truly wanted in her career, refine a targeted resume, and activate her network. She also coached Sammy through some tough panel interviews, helping her stand out and own her value. The result? An offer from the public accounting firm she had set her sights on.

Nancy doesn’t just help people find jobs—she helps them take control of their careers with clarity and confidence. Her ability to listen, strategize, and provide the right tools at the right time is invaluable. I’m incredibly grateful for the impact she’s had on both of my daughters, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone at a career crossroads."

“When I retired from running my own construction company, I knew I wanted to return to healthcare, where my career began. I was excited about the idea of working in design and construction for a hospital system, but making that pivot after years of being self-employed felt daunting. That’s when I reached out for guidance.

From the start, the process was transformative. We began by gaining clarity on my career direction, which helped me focus on my goal of combining my construction expertise with my passion for healthcare. My resume was tailored to highlight my unique skill set, making me a strong candidate for the roles I was targeting.

We didn’t stop there. I received invaluable support in activating and amplifying my professional network, which opened doors I hadn’t considered. When the interviews started rolling in, the preparation and encouragement I received made all the difference. Each interview felt like a win, and I walked into them with confidence and purpose.

Today, I’m thrilled to be a Design and Construction Leader for a premier hospital system in Oregon—a role that perfectly blends my experience and passion. I couldn’t have achieved this without the clarity, strategy, and support I received throughout this process.

If you’re looking for a partner to help you navigate a career pivot, I wholeheartedly recommend this service. It was a game-changer for me, and I’m so grateful for the guidance that helped me land exactly where I wanted to be.”

“I am so grateful to FutureStreet and Nancy Alexander for her coaching and guidance which led me to the career position that I am in today.

Beginning my career search after I graduated was very daunting and I had no idea what to do with my degree or which jobs I should pursue. After working with Nancy, I was able to articulate my career direction and was incredibly confident about the positions I applied for — I was able to actually enjoy the process!

Nancy helped me with the entire job search process from defining my skills and experience, to designing a competitive resume, to rehearsing with me the night before interviews. I credit FutureStreet for my success in finding the right career path and the perfect position to launch it. Thank you so much, Nancy!”

When Allie went for her first interviews, she was ready. She was sure of herself and aimed in the right direction. Not only did FutureStreet help her succeed in landing a job beyond her expectations, but most important, Allie’s career arc truly suits her talents.

"Nancy came highly recommended as someone with vast experience who could guide our son through the job search process. It turns out she did much more! She gave him incredible tools that helped him set his compass in the right direction and then encouraged, motivated, and coached him until he landed a great job! Her caring and direct style was so appreciated. She was there for him (and us) every step of the way. Nancy is capable of working with individuals at any stage of their careers, offering guidance that’s not only insightful but also tailored to each unique situation. She went way above and beyond what would be considered excellent service. I can’t recommend her highly enough and I will certainly do so in the future!"

"When I decided to leave a small accounting firm for a larger public accounting firm, I knew exactly where I wanted to go—but I also knew the competition would be tough. I needed to be fully prepared to stand out, and that’s where Nancy came in.

She didn’t just help me prepare—she transformed my approach to interviewing. Before every round, we went through extensive prep sessions, refining my responses, anticipating tough questions, and making sure I walked into each interview confident and ready. I never felt unprepared or caught off guard, and that made all the difference.

The result? I landed the job at the firm I had my heart set on! I couldn’t have done it without Nancy’s expert guidance, strategic insights, and unwavering support. If you’re looking for real, effective career coaching that gets results, I can’t recommend FutureStreet enough!"
Samantha Savage, CPA
Audit Manager at KPMG
"Nancy is the best! She was recommended by someone I highly respect to help me navigate the next phase (post retirement) of my career. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, yet Nancy was personable and we connected quickly. She challenges you in a very supportive way by asking tough but fair questions that force you to be honest with yourself in pursuit of what you will find meaningful and fulfilling. She causes you to be introspective and consider options at a level that you might not envision on your own. She expands your possibilities and prepares you to pursue them. My post retirement work is more focused and purposeful because of Nancy.

And Nancy's contributions did not stop there. I recommended her to several close friends and family, and they have all had very positive experiences with Nancy. As I said, she is the best!"

When I started working with Nancy, I was in my last couple of months of college. I knew I needed a job—but wasn’t completely clear on how to actually get one. I had a degree, a basic resume, and a LinkedIn profile, but that’s pretty much it. With Nancy’s help, I was able to completely change my approach.

We tackled everything—figuring out what I actually wanted to do, making my resume stand out, and transforming my LinkedIn into something that actually got attention. But the biggest shift for me was networking. Nancy taught me how to reach out to people in a way that felt natural and productive. I went from feeling awkward about it to building real connections that led to opportunities.

Then came the interview prep. I won’t sugarcoat it—Nancy is tough. But that’s exactly why I felt so prepared when it counted. We went through every possible scenario—live interviews, informational interviews, the hard questions. By the time I was in front of hiring managers, I wasn’t just answering—I was steering the conversation with confidence.

And in the end? It worked. I landed a job for a large medical device company that I genuinely enjoy. If you’re feeling stuck in your job search, don’t try to figure it out alone—Nancy knows exactly how to get you from lost to landing offers

"My experience with FutureStreet was exactly what I needed—sharp, actionable insights that I could immediately apply to growing within my current organization.

Nancy has an incredible way of making career development engaging, funny, and incredibly useful. She takes topics that could be dry and turns them into something you actually want to pay attention to—complete with stories that stick and strategies that work.

Whether you’re looking to level up in your current role or sharpen your professional edge, FutureStreet is a game-changer. Highly recommend!"

"When I first came to FutureStreet, I felt completely lost. I knew I wanted to make a career shift, but I had no idea how to get there—or even what I wanted to do. There were just too many options, and I felt stuck. Nancy helped me slow down and think through that process in a clear, strategic way.

Career Direction:

The Opportunity Evaluation Filter™ was a game-changer. It helped me break down what I actually value in a job—my personal “north star”—and turn that into a structured, actionable plan. Nancy asked the right questions to help me uncover the kind of work that would be meaningful and sustainable for me. I finally felt like I had a clear direction.

Building a Strong Resume:.

Everyone seems to have their own opinion on what makes a “good” resume, and mine just wasn’t getting responses. Nancy helped me design a resume that actually worked—one that got past the ATS and started generating real interest. She showed me how to customize my resume for every single job I applied to, which completely unlocked opportunities I hadn’t been seeing before. Making my resume truly impactful was a huge breakthrough.


Interview Prep & Compensation Negotiations:

The best part of working with Nancy was how she made everything feel simple, strategic, and totally doable. Interviewing had always felt high-stakes and overwhelming to me, but Nancy helped me craft a clear, compelling story and deliver it with confidence. We refined my one-minute pitch, practiced responses tailored for hiring managers, and worked through how to bring my background to life in a way that made sense for each opportunity. She wasn’t just a coach—she was a true thought partner who sharpened my thinking and helped me show up powerfully. I walked into every interview feeling prepared, confident, and clear on my message.

When it came to compensation negotiations, Nancy’s guidance was nothing short of transformative. She helped me think strategically about my value, structure my ask, and confidently advocate for myself. We talked through different scenarios and approaches so that I could go into conversations with a plan—not just a number. Nancy gave me the language, mindset, and presence to lead those discussions with clarity and conviction. What used to feel awkward or uncomfortable became an empowering conversation. I walked away with a compensation package I was proud of—and the confidence that I had owned the negotiation from start to finish."

"At a time of wrestling with life's bigger questions in the middle of a professional crossroads, turning to Nancy was a critical decision that ultimately led me to clarity and success. Nancy's energy and infectious passion for what she does made what could have been a stressful process genuinely enjoyable, and I walked away with so much more than I expected.

Working with Nancy exceeded the expectations I had of what career coaching would be. She helped me identify what I truly valued in a job, which became the foundation for a focused and intentional strategy. As we evaluated opportunities together, I secured interviews at some of my dream companies. Most importantly, I found a role that exceeded my expectations, one I hadn't anticipated at the start of the process, but that turned out to be an exceptional fit.

Nancy brings decades of insight to the table, and her hands-on résumé work and interview prep were easily the most helpful I’ve ever received. I have gained several skills, in working with Nancy, that I know will serve me throughout my professional career including networking, interview preparation & job searching.

If you are questioning your career path or feel like you’ve hit a wall, if you are looking to stand out in today's competitive job market, I highly recommend Nancy's expert-level guidance and the FutureStreet process. Many thanks Nancy!"
