Client testimonial

“When circumstances forced me to change careers in my mid-50s, I didn’t know where to begin. How could I redefine what I’d been doing for 30+ years?  Did I have skills that would be relevant in another line of work?


I asked family and friends for help. Several recommended Career Counseling, but only if that Counseling involved one person – Christopher Sutzko.


Christopher Sutzko of IDEA Career Consulting steered me through exercises which helped me define the inspiration behind the work and personal activities I’d chosen over the years. He gave me the tools to identify potential employers whose mission matched my skills and my passions. Then he guided me through the creation of a functional resume which encapsulated all I have to offer those employers.


With Christopher’s help, I’ve been able to redefine myself and present a polished package of skills to potential employers. I can now confidently share my resume because I know I’m relevant to the job market.”
