I would recommend Chris to People on the Autism Spectrum in Interviewing for a Job

I was having a lot of first and second job interviews, but no job offers. My interview prep coach, Chris Sier, helped me prepare succinct answers to commonly asked situational questions and share how I utilized my strengths and learned from my mistakes.  Using Skype, Chris taught me how to show confidence while interviewed by using my body language successfully. Shortly after, I got a job!

I would recommend Chris because of her empathetic understanding to people on the Autism Spectrum.  It was her concise but natural techniques that pulled me over the finish line.  She has a wide breadth of knowledge, and it showed in our coaching session.

Thank you, Chris!!!
