Career Partners International, Twin Cities

I was introduced to CPI in 2015 as an IT executive in transition. I spent most of my time with Tamara, but also worked with others on the team. They really understood how to help me prepare for the transition. It weas clear to me that these folks were NOT simply following a playbook, but really got to know me and understand what I needed to be successful in this transition. I recently retired and as I reflected back on my experience with CPI, it was clear to me that the work we did together back in 2015 had a real positive impact on the rest of my career.

They are professional, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have a very talented team to walk through each step in the process. I was so thankful to have them coach me through my career change.

As an HR professional, building relationships with ethical, client-focused firms is imperative to providing services for employees. While I had partnered with CPI from one side of the desk for years, I found myself in the opposite seat during a company reshuffle last year. The CPI team has been invaluable for my personal and professional development through the vast array of assessment, coaching, and development programs. If you are seeking a true partner for personal growth or for your organization when the difficult decision has to be made to impact your employees, CPI must be on your short list to call. Let Maureen, Claire, Tamara and the other coaches guide you to personal and organizational success!

I greatly appreciated the speed of CPI reaching out to me shortly after learning I was displaced. The President and CEO of CPI, Maureen O'Malley Rehfuss, immediately connected me with Tamara Tasche who sprung into action. We quickly updated my resume, personal commercial, networking pitch, and Linked-In profile with the expert assistance of Anne Pryor who is outstanding. We then turned our attention to job applications and cover letters. Tamara helped immensely with interview preparation and helping me find my balance between enthusiasm and how I can specifically help my next employer. I became much for comfortable telling my story and articulating the value I could bring to a future role. Her advice along the way was spot-on. Tamara even helped me negotiate my new salary. Finally, Tamara sent me the book, The New Leader's 100 Day Action Plan, to help me get off to a quick start in my new job. I am eternally grateful to Tamara Tasche and the entire CPI Team. I highly recommend them.

How do I summarize the importance of an organization that was and continues to play a critical role in my career? CPI Twin Cities was there for me after I lost my job. They gave me the tools to begin the job search process and offered incredible programs to learn more about the process and about myself too. I also met some great people at these programs who I have continued to stay in contact with after my job search was over. CPI isnt there only at the beginning, like the parent of a child learning to ride a bicycle. They dont just give you a good shove and yell Good luck! as you start down the street trying to stay upright. They continue to offer their incredible programs and check on your job search progress and your situation, be it mental health, motivation, etc. They provide support that sometimes you dont even realize you need. Losing your job is never easy. It is difficult knowing what to do and how best to do it. It is extremely helpful to have a knowledgeable and supportive resource like CPI to help you. I cant imagine going through this process without them!
