My Ken Kuznia Story ~ A Client Testimonial
I was telling a friend that I was interested in pursing another role at a different company, but I needed to get some opinions on cleaning up my resume. She suggested I contact her friend, Ken, who has a real knack for that kind of stuff. She put us in touch and I met with Ken at his office one afternoon. Luckily I brought a pen and paper because I walked out of there with 11 pages of hand written notes! Mostly we talked about resume building, but I also walked away a new way of thinking; a new approach to seeking a job. −

I re‐built my resume based on his tips and tricks and began applying for jobs. A few weeks later, I ran into Ken at Walgreen’s and we got to talking about interviews. Right there in the middle of Walgreen’s, I pulled a notebook off the shelf to start taking more notes. (I knew what he had done for my resume, so I was willing to buy a notebook I didn’t need in order to not miss out). I captured more of the energy, a tactical method for approaching the interview, and a few phrases that prove to be powerful, but don’t sound rehearsed.

I practiced what he preached and prepared a list of things I have accomplished; things I am good at. I made a list of what I wanted in a new job. Next, I skimmed it all down to a few sentences I could tell someone in an elevator ride, about who I am and what I can offer to help a company reach its goals. Then, I started telling everyone I met (discreetly and consciously, of course). One night, a friend was having a small group over to her house. I began chatting with a woman about what she did and she described a role and company that was ideal for me. I told her my story and had my foot in the door. I went through the hiring process, the interviews, and received an offer! A few weeks into that role, my new boss said to me: “Amy, I don’t know if we ever told you this, but when you left your interview, the three of us looked at each other blankly until someone finally said ‘She ran that interview’. You asked us questions about what we needed and showed us how you could help us. That’s all we needed to hear.” What an amazing compliment! I owe that opportunity largely to Ken. I’m an energetic, hard‐working person that brings a lot of value. It was Ken that showed me how to show other people that, get my foot in the door, and get the job I wanted.

Whenever Ken passes my contact information on to someone else that wants to get information about my field or my current company, I do not hesitate to help. It’s the least I can do to ‘pay it forward’ after the way Ken has helped energize me for a job search. Thanks, Ken!

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful seminar. Your words really resonated with me and I am proud to say that I now have a full-time job.

Just a brief note to let you know that your advice and MP3 on interviewing came in just-in-time.  The technical interview started with them bombarding me with technical questions, which I answered to their satisfaction.  However, based on your advice, I went back to find out the key and core issues, which was promptly revealed, I provided a modular solution and even before I could close they proposed the next step which was to provide 2 to 3 references so that we can begin discussing how to work together. Thanks for the advice.

"Ken literally changed my life. He helped me realize what I wanted out of life, and how to go after it. And he made it all seem so simple. I have witnessed him do the same things with others. He brings about that "Aha" moment."
~ Rebecca Pate – Austin, TX

"Working with Ken is like hiring your own personal cheerleader. He not only shares great information, but his enthusiasm adds so much energy to the conversation you can’t help but be excited about what’s next in your career. He has a way of saying exactly what you need to hear when you need to hear it. I’ve always believed that there was something else I should be doing in this world, but I just couldn’t imagine what that was and had no idea how to get started… now I’m finally on the road to discovering my true calling and it all began with a list he encouraged me to make. Through this process I’ve learned that it’s not our job to go through this transformation alone. Ken’s encouragement has led to some amazing personal discoveries – I am thankful to have him as my running partner!"

"You have but to spend 5 min. with Ken to know he is indeed an authentic catalyst. He's brimming with sound logic, insightful ideas, kind sarcasm, and off-the-charts exuberance. Ken speaks and shares from the genuineness of his big heart.

He’s having the time of his life pursuing his passion, tapping-into his special gifts, and doing what he loves. He'll compassionately inspire, prompt, and practically prod you to do the same. Like me, you’ll be eternally grateful to him for doing so. "
