-Lisell Perez-Rogers (2023)

“I was gifted a session with Krystal to help with a mid-career transition and figure out how to market myself more competitively. Our first session was so useful that I bought more immediately. During our sessions, I also received an interview request from a job I had applied to and she helped me prepare for the interview coaching me through potential questions and helping with my presentation. I ended up landing the job and I can't stress enough how much she helped with the preparation with a recruiter's mindset! I am forever grateful to the insights and advice she offered from her incredible experience. The job is a great fit for me and I am absolutely loving it! I definitely recommend Krystal to anyone desiring a job change, a career change, or preparation for an interview. She is an incredible coach and strategist was an invaluable resource in my own process.”

-Krista McGuire (2023)

“I hadn't applied for a new job in over 5 years. Obviously the entire job searching/applying process has changed so much since then. It was overwhelming and I didn't know what I didn't know. Luckily, Krystal's Jobhunting2.0 was the perfect solution for someone in my situation. She took the time to explain how to effectively navigate sites like Indeed and LinkedIn in a way that produced real results for me quickly. The processes and templates she provided helped me immensely, and within two weeks of our session I had three interviews and two job offers. If you've been out of the job-hunting game for a while you need to call Krystal.”

-Sam Pacheco (2023)

Krystal Hicks is now my "Go To" professional for everything career and job hunting! Thanks Krystal!”

-Mark Sanford (2023)

-Glenn Spargo, ClearChoiceMD (2023)

“Krystal was very helpful in updating my resume with me and giving me some different way to look at job hunting. Highly recommend her services!”

-Stacey Salinas, Mass General Hospital (2022)

“From the first time I talked with Krystal she was helpful, empathetic, efficient, professional and very talented at her work. The entire process of working with JOBTALK in digesting previous career experiences, building career goals, overhauling resumes and creating systems for cover letters and job searches was incredible. She helped me build confidence in my skills and approach my next career path with grace and helpful coaching. I directly link my success in the job search to working with JOBTALK. In addition I got great support with LinkedIn and job search tools. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I would refer anyone seeking career, resume, or job hunting advice to work with Krystal.”

-Jon Megas-Russell (2022)

“Krystal is absolutely fantastic to work with. She tailored her approach to my unique situation and she has incredible knowledge about the inner workings of the job market. I noticed immediate results after my sessions with her.”

-Dan O’Brien (2022)

“Krystal was a godsend when I started my job search. I was looking to advance my career in a new field and hoping for a swift transition but was not getting much traction. Krystal provided a clear roadmap on how to put my best foot forward and engage with companies so I could get noticed in the large applicant pool during the pandemic. She provided excellent guidance to completely revamp my resume and cover letter and showed me how I could better leverage LinkedIn to connect with hiring managers directly. Throughout the process she was incredibly encouraging and gave me the confidence I needed to pursue the opportunities I wanted. Krystal is incredibly well networked and gave me a great pulse on my industry, location and companies I was exploring and organizations I hadn’t considered yet. Within a month, I received 2 job offers of which I chose the better offer after employing the negotiating strategies she taught me. I could not have been as successful through this process without her. I highly recommend her to everyone I speak with that is looking for a new position, exploring new career paths, looking to revamp their LinkedIn profile or resume/cover letter, navigating challenging internal situations, or trying to negotiate the best possible offer. Her significant background in human resources and recruiting is immensely helpful. She is the go-to for any and all job-related discussions. I continue to utilize the skillsets she taught me for navigating the job market and consider myself fortunate to know her and will continue to utilize her expertise in future.”

-Danielle Harris, Bottomline Technologies (2022)

“I have my current position because of Krystal! I met with her to discuss how I could break into a new career field without having the traditional background for it. She connected me with someone who was in my ideal field and had a background similar to mine. That person ended up leaving their job about nine months later, and I reconnected with them to discuss their previous position, which I eventually ended up getting! Through the connection Krystal made, I was able to break into my dream field. I would not be in the place I am career-wise if it weren't for her services. She is totally worth all the time and investment if you have any career questions or need guidance!”

-Shaina Maciejewski, Second Nature (2022)

“The job search landscape has completely changed and Krystal is there to walk you through all of it in detail. She's excellent.”

-Paolo Maldari (2022)

“Krystal truly changed my life for the better. In early 2020, right before COVID hit the US, my position at a large university was cut due to reorganization and budget shifts. Right when I started to get interviews for new positions, COVID shut down most hiring. Krystal coached me through my job search process, from helping me prioritize what was most important to me to revamping my resume and LinkedIn profile. Her useful tips, combined with her incredible knowledge and positive attitude, kept me going through a VERY tough time to be job searching. I'm now in a dream role for a company that appreciates my contributions, better off than I was before my prior job was eliminated! I truly owe a debt of thanks to Krystal: my current employer found me through LinkedIn. There aren't enough glowing words for me to use to describe how truly amazing Krystal is. Hire her to coach you, whether you are currently job searching or not. Sign up for her bootcamps and webinars. You will learn invaluable information that will help you no matter where you are in your career journey. Krystal is smart, kind, action-oriented, down to earth, hard working and a true pleasure to speak to. Thank you, Krystal, for all of your guidance and encouragement when I needed it most!”

-Sara McKinstry, Argyle (2022)

“I’ve admired Krystal for her involvement mentoring students at UNH for many years. Having seen her engaging and supportive nature at events on campus, I coordinated a takeover on the alumni social media channels for Krystal to network with and support alumni. I’d also heard from friends how helpful she was in their job searches. Therefore, when I was looking for a career change myself, I reached out. It only took two short sessions for her to help me refine my goals, find a job board aligned with my priorities, and apply for - and land - a new position. This new job will advance my career, utilize more of my skills and help me make a greater impact on people and the environment. I am so grateful and can’t wait for this next chapter to begin next week, only a month and a half after our first meeting. Thank you, Krystal!”

-Kristine Bowden, Bow Seat (2022)

“Krystal is amazing! She helped me organize my thoughts and really determine what I want and need in a job. Using her advice I was able to narrow down my job search and landed a dream job just a few months later. Highly recommend JOBTALK to anyone thinking about a career change.”

-Mary Sheehy, NH Dept. of Education (2022)

“Krystal is absolutely an unbelievable resource and has a wealth of knowledge on how to navigate the maze of getting a job offer in your hands. I had been laid off during the pandemic and for months, I only had a handful of interviews and of the few I did I was either ghosted, or simply rejected despite seemingly making a good impression. I initially worked with her to tweak my resume and approach to looking for jobs (she does awesome sessions about LinkedIn!) . I saw she had a service for interview prep and I had one that was coming up last minute. Because she has past experience as a recruiter, I had sent her the job description ahead of time and we went through questions that an interview would usually ask, especially given the criteria.

What really helped me was tweaking some of my answers as well as make sure I was asking better questions. She gave me a lot of good feedback that I was able to view as a video later, and helped me stay level headed so that I wasn't overthinking the interview. I ended up getting an offer after a few more rounds.

As recovery from a crazy COVID world improves, I can't recommend Krystal enough if you are struggling in your journey for a career or wanting to find a way to stick out more. Her knowledge and positive energy will help you feel like a more confident candidate.”

-Bridget Corcoran, Lookout (2021)

“Krystal is absolutely amazing! The care and utmost respect Krystal provides is like no other. Especially times when job searching can be stressful. Every call I have with Krystal, I walk away from with excitement and passion towards my career and next steps in life! I would recommend Krystal over and over again to anyone! Thank you for all your time, hard work and dedication!”

-Sarah Quirk, Estée Lauder (2021)

“Krystal was the X-factor in my long-overdue career switch, and she was instrumental in demonstrating to me how badly I had undersold myself and my experiences over the years. Armed with the updated resume and guidance that I got from Krystal, I just landed an outstanding job in Boston at a company with a great team, outstanding reviews and a positive workplace culture! Invest in yourself by letting Krystal help you capture your full potential on paper and put your best foot forward in your job search. -Thank you Krystal for helping me succeed in these next steps in my career!”

-Anthony Dumas, Vertex Pharmaceuticals (2021)

“This past fall I began working at the third school of my six-year teaching career. I was desperate to give teaching one last chance, but I was tired, and I burned out even faster than years past. I worked at three amazing schools, but I wasn't enjoying my day-to-day tasks and found myself going through the motions. Leaving teaching felt impossible because it felt like a part of my identity. My undergrad was spent learning math and education, and I had never considered any other options. I didn't even know what else was out there. That's when I turned to JOBTALK. Krystal helped me see the ways in which my skills and knowledge could transfer into careers that I had never even heard of. After guiding me toward the right career options, she led me right out of my comfort zone… The tips and tricks she shared helped me stand out among the crowd, and before I knew it, I was offered an administrative job in higher education. I would not have had this level of success without Krystal. She uprooted and redesigned my job search process, all while remaining available and personable the whole way through. I could not have done this without her! I no longer feel stuck, but instead empowered to pursue my dreams.”

-David Sheehy, University of New Hampshire [employee] (2021)

“I first crossed paths with Krystal when she was Director of the UNH Career Center. I know it sounds schmaltzy, but I got the sense immediately that she was someone who would go above and beyond for people. It would have been 6 years ago now, but I remember the day so clearly because within 60 minutes of meeting her Krystal changed my whole outlook on my college experience, my career prospects, and the opportunities available to me. I left that meeting feeling more hopeful and motivated about my future than I had thought possible prior. Fast forward to years later when I am considering a big change in my career. I saw that Krystal had founded her own career consulting practice and -- remembering my experience with her-- immediately knew it would be worth it to book a session. I'm so glad I did! In our session Krystal helped me review my strategy for networking, applying for jobs, setting professional goals, crafting a narrative, and generally answering any and all questions I had about how to navigate the professional world after college. In the time since my session with Krystal, she has continued to be an advocate, resource, and support for me in all things related to realizing my professional dreams. Even after not talking to her for a while, she remembered nearly everything about our original conversation and kept me in mind when relevant opportunities came her way. Thanks to her, I just landed my absolute DREAM JOB and I could not be more grateful or appreciative of her unwavering and excellent support, coaching, guidance, experience, and advice. I heartily recommend Krystal Hicks if you are considering a professional move or looking to figure out the best way forward for yourself regardless of your current career status. She is someone you need in your corner! If you have any questions about what it's like to be a client of Krystal's please don't hesitate to reach out to me.”

-Andy DeMeo, Impax Asset Management (2021)

“Krystal was a joy to work with! Her positivity, professionalism, and innovated thinking made it easy revamping my resume. During the process she stayed engaged and curious, which ultimately helped her craft a document I am proud to share with recruiters. She also found a way to help me uncover parts of my work and school experience I didn't realize were valuable to companies. If you're looking to change industries, redo your resume, or start from scratch, call Krystal!”

-Sarah Thomas, Cvent, NYC (2021)

“Krystal helped me with my recent career search. She was able to shed light on the area that really needed more attention (my resume) and provide excellent advice on how to organize my job search to optimize the number of interviews I received. During my first round of submitting applications I secured interviews with 9 of the 10 companies I applied to. Before working with Krystal, I would have been lucky to even get 1 call back. In my new role, I am not only making 50% more than in my previous job, but I am finally in a position where I'm excited to go to work. Thank you Krystal for helping me get out of my own head. I finally feel like I'm in the role that I was made for!”

-Alyssa Nadeau, Payentry, Portland, ME (2021)

“There are not enough words to explain what working with Krystal did for me throughout my job hunt process. I first met her in college at UNH, where she was a counselor there. She taught me how to interview, to build a resume and to write a cover letter. It was because of Krystal that I got my first job out of school. When I rediscovered her business years later as I was looking to find a new position, she once again guided me through resume building, negotiating and networking - and once again she helped me into my dream role. When COVID struck and I found myself laid off - Krystal was the first person I looked to for support. From March until December, Krystal talked me down from countless ledges and endless tears - encouraging me, teaching me and giving me confidence in my abilities as an employee (something I struggled to maintain after months of rejections.) She connected me to any company or recruiter she could think of, constantly seeking out ways to get me back to work and going above and beyond. When I finally got an incredible position after 10 months of unemployment (again thanks to her assistance and connections,) she was the first person I wanted to call. My success was just as much her success and I would never be where I was without her. The best way I can explain it is that because she refused to give up on me, I refused to give up on myself. I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life.”

-Jaime Adams, Bottomline Technologies, Portsmouth, NH (2021)

“Krystal regularly over-delivers. Not only did she collaboratively show me how to clean up my resume but she empowered me to take the reins of my career. Krystal always has my best interest in mind. If you’re feeling stuck in your career, I highly recommend that you work with Krystal. When is the last time you spoke to a former recruiter? She knows what’s happening behind the scenes before and after you hit “Apply to Job.” She helped me figure out what I value in a career and now I feel fulfilled and excited to go to work every day. I can’t recommend working with her enough.”

-Christin dos Prazeres, ServiceNow, Boston, MA (2021)

“Krystal was amazingly helpful in my job hunt. After our session, I started getting more traction with my resume and LinkedIn account but, more importantly, I had more confidence. After getting nowhere with my search for several months, I was defeated. I felt like I had no desirable skills and was so nervous for the few interviews that I managed to get that I blew them. Krystal helped validate my professional achievements and that helped me interview better. Because of her coaching, I got a large raise and a job that I love.”

- Stephanie Joyce, NH (2020)

“It was a pleasure working with Krystal on helping reposition my resume! From the very first intro call, I knew that we would work well together. With the pandemic affecting the hospitality industry, I wanted to make a career transition to the technology industry which I am very passionate about. Krystal was able to convert my resume and explain how my skills translated. When she sent me the revisions I was amazed at how well it came out. This gave me the confidence to start my search and become successful in finding a position. I cannot thank her enough for her support and guidance.”

- Greg Tassinari, Salesforce, NYC (2020)

“I cannot thank Krystal enough for her expertise. If you are feeling stuck and weary about your prospects during a pandemic/recession (or anytime you are job searching), please view this as your sign to reach out to JOBTALK. Krystal has loads of recruiting experience, she has great connections and helps you methodically approach your job search. She listens well, asks well-thought questions, and really helps to build your confidence. I went from hardly any traction to receiving multiple offers and being able to choose a job that aligns with my career goals! I now have a resume I love and tools to help me better approach any future job searches. But honestly, should that be the case, I'll be reaching back out to Krystal. Having a sounding board that knows what they are doing, is huge. Thank you, Krystal!”

- Sarah O’Blenes, NH (2020)

“I came to Krystal at a very pivotal time in my early career. Having just graduated from college the year before, I was struggling to find what it was that I wanted to pursue for the rest of my time as a young professional. After talking with Krystal about my options, she was able to provide professional, experiential, and most of all - incredibly helpful feedback - that landed me the best case scenario. I owe it all to her and I am loving where this career path is taking me. Krystal is a great listener and made me feel extremely comfortable, as I trusted her instantly. She is insightful, curious, and genuine. I highly recommend her services for anyone who needs some professional/career guidance. Krystal, I really cannot thank you enough.”

- Christina Crosby, Wayfair, Boston, MA (2020)

“Krystal is that person that everybody needs in their life. Working with Krystal immediately gives you the confidence you need during your job search. She is so knowledgable about every phase and aspect of your career journey, and the best part is that she genuinely cares about her clients. I crossed paths with Krystal when I was a student at UNH, and when my job was recently impacted by COVID I thought of her instantly. I highly recommend her expertise, she is amazing!”

-Kelly Elwood, NYC (2020)

“I cannot say enough about Krystal! As a former freelance event consultant, I had made the decision to make the change to a full-time, corporate career path, but had A LOT of questions and anxiety around the job search process. During our 1:1 meeting, Krystal answered my many questions and gave me invaluable insights into job titles and companies that I never would have thought of or explored. As a result of these suggestions, I found my dream job at my dream company! Neither the job, or the company, would have been on my radar had it not been for Krystal, her insights, and her industry knowledge. I will never be able to thank her enough!”

-Sarah Daigle, International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), (2020)

“I cannot say enough about the LinkedIn 101 session Krystal provided me the other day. I have been using LinkedIn for more than 10 years and did not realize just how much I did not know about the site, and especially how powerful the standard free membership could be. I have already utilized many of the tips and suggestions she provided, and the recording she sent of the actual session makes it that much easier. I would recommend everyone take the opportunity to attend the session before they ever think of paying for the full membership. After the session, if someone still decides they need the full membership, they will certainly be more prepared to get the full benefit of LinkedIn with the information they learn from Krystal.”

-Michael Newman, HR Leadership - NH (2020)

“Krystal Hicks is someone you need in your corner, plain and simple. My experience working with her went far beyond my qualifications and resume and transcended into the deeper meaning of what I needed as a person in order to succeed. She has a natural gift for identifying the unseen hurdles and paints a clear picture of how to move past them towards your goals. Her focus on creating a safe space for people to be vulnerable lends to her success in encouraging true change, and I feel beyond fortunate to have met Krystal as she continues to add tremendous value to my life. I will forever vouch for her and her business because I truly believe that it is people like her that can change the lives of many, just as she did mine. If you feel stuck, lost, or are unhappy with your work, you can trust that Krystal will get you to where you need to be.”

-Katy Marshall - SoulCycle, Bay Area, CA (2019)

“Just received a fantastic job offer and I contribute a big part of this to Krystal! (THANK YOU Krystal!!!) Without her guidance and tips for navigating LinkedIn, I definitely would not have received an offer so quickly! Her coaching also gave me the confidence and tools that were invaluable in helping me find a new job and industry, especially after 11 plus years in the same career. Krystal has an in-depth knowledge of the current job market and fills a niche for those who are looking to make the next step in their career and are not sure where to start. I highly recommend reaching out to Krystal as a first step before diving into your job search.”

-Kirsten Engstrom, Serepta Pharmaceuticals, Cambridge, MA (2019)

“Krystal’s advice and guidance were invaluable to me when I needed help to prepare for an interview, and her flexibility with my schedule went above and beyond. Before JOBTALK, I felt blindsided by every new question and frustrated with the whole interviewing process. Krystal helped me to see the “why” of questions and what to highlight about myself. Krystal’s positivity and expertise helped me to change my mindset and learn what questions could make an interview valuable to me, not just my potential employer. It was the first interview in months that made me feel excited. After it, I was invited on-site and got the offer for my dream job in process engineering at Mars Wrigley Confectionery!”

-Megan Geldermann, B.S. Chemical Engineering ‘19 - University of Oklahoma (2019)

"Within a minute into my conversation with Krystal, I already felt she knew what she was talking about. Not only did she provide me with practical ways to develop my personal value proposition for my aspiring business, but she also provided me with a step by step approach on how to organically grow my network specific to my career aspirations. She also clearly articulated intuitive and cost-efficient ways that I can build my brand as well as connect with the right mentors using tools within reach in Linkedin. I would say this was the most productive career advice that I have ever had. I highly recommend Krystal as well as her services to any recent college graduates or young professionals who are trying to figure out their career path or who are just curious about what to do next in their future career."

- Jacob Fohtung, 2nd year MBA ‘19 student - Babson College (2019)

“Krystal helped give me the confidence to stop waiting for the job I had to change, and to instead look for position that suited me! Her advice helped me take my career in a whole new direction. Now I am so much happier and more invested in my work as a public librarian. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

-Laura Horwood-Benton, Portsmouth Public Library - Portsmouth, NH (2018)

“I met Krystal through multiple events hosted by the University of New Hampshire through the career services department. She is a successful, dedicated Alumnus who goes above and beyond and is great at keeping in touch. I saw her on campus right before I graduated, and although Krystal did not have a position I was qualified for at the time, she went above and beyond in helping me to edit my resume so that it would stand out across various industries. She wasted no time passing my resume along and connecting me to Rachael Bohac with Keller Williams Realty Metropolitan. Krystal had nothing but great things to say about Rachael. Rachael contacted me within a day to chat over the phone and set up an interview. Networking with Krystal was stress-free and provided me with great insight into the hiring process as to what stands out to recruiters as a qualified candidate. I would highly recommend working with Krystal. She is committed to helping you succeed through her exceptional network and will help you stand out in the hiring process.”

- Sarah Heath, Licensed Marketing Specialist with Rachael Bohac of Keller Williams Realty Metropolitan (2018)

"I made an appointment with Krystal because I needed help in getting through my career crisis. I was in a master's program for counseling, but as the semester went on, I began to realize that I was more passionate about pursuing a career path as an IT Recruiter. Throughout our conversation together, she made me feel like my decision about wanting to change my career choice was valid, providing me with the confidence I needed to finally take that jump outside of my psychology [major] bubble. Her honest, genuine and positive attitude, has a way of putting you at ease and enables you to clearly see the career path that was always meant for you. If I didn't set up a meeting with Krystal, I don't think that I would of had the confidence to push myself out of my comfort zone and to start working towards becoming the professional I have always aspired to be. I strongly recommend Krystal for anyone that needs assistance in finding their career path, because I am very glad I did."

- Paige McCarthy, MBA ‘18, Johnson & Whales University

Public speakinG & Corporate Events

“We invited Krystal to speak to our operational leadership team (about 15 folks) and she was amazing! I was the facilitator for the event, and Krystal was wonderful to work with. She communicated effectively leading up to the big day. I appreciated her ability to pivot and that she was willing to educate me on some best courses of action for the direction of her message. During the presentation, Krystal was engaging and demonstrated superior expertise in her subject area. She fielded questions thoughtfully and provoked meaningful conversation. Her public speaking skills enhanced the entire experience. During three different conversations after Krystal's presentation, managers shared, “I could have listened to her forever!” It can be difficult speaking to a group with so many competing priorities and she kept their interest for over two hours. Highly recommend JOBTALK!”

-Meghan Cotter, Eastern Propane (2024)

“Krystal facilitated a full day workshop on-site for our corporate Talent Acquisition Team. Leading up to the event, we spoke about the professional development and team building exercises that would be beneficial for the group. On the day of, everything landed wonderfully. The team was engaged, excited, and appreciative of the opportunity to learn from Krystal. I would recommend her without hesitation. She was responsive and great to work with. She's relatable and brings practical solutions to the table when it comes to recruiting (not to mention, a great sense of humor)!”

-Elita Nicholson, UniFirst Corp. (2024)

“JobTalk LLC is an amazing resource. I have worked with Krystal Hicks for over a decade. Her enthusiasm, talent and knowledge is outstanding is unmatched in our community.

-Amber Payne, Leddy Group Portsmouth (2022)

“Krystal brings her "A" game to The Confectionery Foundation's Next Generation programs. Once again [third year in a row], The Foundation is fortunate to have had Krystal as a guest speaker for our graduating college students and young professionals. Krystal delivers candid career advice, sharing tools and strategies needed for job seekers to stand out from the crowd. Thank you, Krystal, for your unwavering commitment to the success of our future leaders.” 

-Katherine Clark, The Confectionery Foundation (2020)

“Krystal vibrates at a high frequency -- her energy & enthusiasm are contagious. Working with Krystal immediately takes you out of 'paralysis mode' and gives you the confidence to take action, whether it be toward a specific goal or taking a more introspective look at the possibilities in front of you. This is exactly why I reached out to Krystal to host a webinar for undergrad student-athletes at Brown University. Krystal hosted a customized webinar, grounded in the context of the current job market, to empower undergrads with tools to get in the driver's seat when it comes to establishing a network and seeking out job & internship opportunities. Her candor and authenticity spiked engagement among the virtual group, and her methodical approach made taking action feel tangible. I could not more highly recommend Krystal & JOBTALK as your go-to resource for taking control of your career path, and in particular, engaging diverse audiences with her strength in communication and public speaking.”

-Toni Sayce, Dir. Product Management, Fidelity / (Brown University Alumna) (2020)

“Krystal delivered an outstanding training session to a group of 90 operations leaders at our annual Planet Fitness Operations Leadership Summit. The topic was "Recruiting and Hiring in a Changing Economy". She delivered a dynamic and engaging 90-minute session focused on an overview of the job market, recruiting smarter not harder, and interviewing and hiring best practices. The attendees were raving about her content and skilled delivery. I would invite Krystal back to our organization again in a heartbeat!”

- Katin Keirstead, Operations Systems Director, Planet Fitness World Headquarters (2019)

"Krystal recently did an outstanding presentation on LinkedIn for our first year MBA students. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious. While many people focus on the "how" when presenting LinkedIn, she effectively focused on the "why." Understanding how employers use LinkedIn and what catches their attention is invaluable perspective for our students. She was professional, helpful, open to questions and focused on making a difference for our students. Proud to have the opportunity to work with such an outstanding professional." 

- Lynne Sarikas, Director, Graduate Career Center at Northeastern University, D'Amore-McKim School of Business (2017)
