I Have Arrived "You have arrived." These were the words that affirmed my transition as I made the decision to take the Google Project Management Course. I appreciate the well-rounded support of the entire team at The Mom Project and Career Circle. There are many who say they are serving the community ... there is a difference when the services provided actually come from those who BELIEVE in those who they are helping.

My first mentor was a bust which was… My first mentor was a bust which was really sad because, on our initial call, I was very excited to work with her. Nonetheless, my current mentor has been absolutely phenomenal. I feel like I have a plan and a direction.

The Mom Project is fabulous The Mom Project is fabulous, I am so happy at Deloitte and hugely thankful for everything TMP does. Going back to work in the US after a 15 year stint in Paris has been daunting, but TMP has not only helped me with getting the work, but also to do so under my most important role of being a mother. I’m so very proud to tell my colleagues that I found my role thanks to TMP, especially because the question almost always gets followed up with “So, you must be a mom, then?” And I get to say yes. I couldn’t be happier because TMP lets me identify as a mom first 😊

Too difficult to read resumes The formatting of the resumes was so awful I couldn’t read half of them. Their software would cause huge misspellings (like accounting and bookkeeper) and the formatting would place columns on top of each other making the resume not legible. When I asked about it I was told it was a known issue and I could email my rep and ask for a better copy each time. I passed on many great looking candidates because I’m not taking the extra time for that. I did not feel like TMP was concerned about how they were presenting their talent to employers or that it was something they were urgently trying to fix. It was very unprofessional and I will not be using TMP for additional job searches.

Great concept, hard to secure placements I had one successful placement but very little traction on any other roles I have applied for. Kitty the redeployment person is lovely, but even her efforts don’t seem to help. I would still recommend Mom Project with the feedback that I can be difficult to hear back on anything.
