I FOUND MY DREAM JOB
and it's all thanks to Driven.
TESTIMONIALS
“I was a Junior at Cal State University, Dominguez Hills working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing and a minor in Communications. I knew that I wanted a career in the Advertising & Entertainment industry, but I had no clue what steps to take to ensure that I would be a strong candidate when the time came to apply for an opportunity other than ensuring I had a high GPA and one or two internships.
I was thrilled to attend the Advertising & Entertainment company trip that was put together by the Career Center. I met Susie Perez at the first networking session hosted by RPA. Susie was the fourth person I met, but the FIRST person who I felt actually wanted to help. We quickly clicked over our similar education paths. When our 15 minutes were up, she gave me her business card and told me to reach out if I had any more questions about how to prepare myself for a career in Advertising. Later that evening, I sent Susie a Thank You message and connection request on LinkedIn. Susie accepted my connection request within a few minutes and we met up for lunch a couple months later.
It was during this lunch that I realized that I had finally found a mentor. Susie helped revise my resume and connected me with professionals from different segments in advertising, which ultimately lead me to find my career in Media Planning. My first position out of college was as an Assisted Media Planner at Garage Team Mazda. A few months later, I was offered an amazing opportunity in Advertising Sales at The Walt Disney Company. Through every career decision I made, I can always count on Susie to be there. I truly believe it is important to find a mentor and I feel blessed to have found Susie!“

“Susie is amazing!! I came to her feeling totally adrift in the middle of a big career transition. I didn't know what to do first, and I was super overwhelmed. Thankfully, a friend connected me with Susie. Working with her helped me in so many different ways. Susie helped me think through my expertise and passions to clarify what kind of job I wanted, as well as create a kick-ass resume and cover letter to attract those jobs. Susie also held me accountable and was such a powerful cheering squad as I moved into the application phase!! I found my dream job doing what I love and it's all thanks to Susie's amazing coaching and support. Definitely do not hesitate to work with her!”

“I met Susie through ThinkLA and was so impressed with her passion and dedication to helping others with their careers. She has an incredible gift for organizing the process of discovery that can help people find not just a job but the right career direction for their passions and strengths. I am so excited to see Susie start her company DRIVEN and formalize a much needed service to help people achieve their career goals. I hope to have Susie share her expertise on Atheneum Collective to empower as many people as possible with her Driven career navigation system.”
