California Career Services

Susan W. Miller - Founder of
California Career Services

At California Career Services, we provide information and support for action on career-related issues. To support our clients, we employ full-time staff that conducts local labor market research that is available to you when you meet with a counselor. Our database includes research on hundreds of jobs, including salary data, employment outlook, and local training and educational options.

In addition, clients can access California Career Services' Linked-in and Facebook networks, primarily to connect with individuals in their fields of interest in order to conduct informational interviews. Occasionally these connections result in job placement. With regard to job search, we write resumes with clients, prepare clients for job interviews and make referrals to appropriate placement agencies. Our resources and connections in the community enable us to counsel clients on creative job search strategies, local resources, and marketing tools.

“Your work has had a fantastic impact on me. I’m out of the movie business and into fundraising. Your strategies and coaching were the catalysts that empowered me to do it. I am so grateful. Your depth of knowledge, skill, sensitivity and creativity delivers results that far exceed the formulaic approach of others in your field. You understood the complexity of my work and my life. You showed me how to transition to a field that would better integrate that complexity into a life that works for me. Thank you.”

"Thank you for the great interview tips. They really helped me. This was the first interview I've had where I really felt prepared. It went well and looks like I may get the job. Thanks again for your time."

"My job is great. I have traveled all around the country. The hours are long and the compensation is not what it could be, but I have felt useful, important, and growing. However, you may hear from me again soon."

"I am writing to thank you for your part in helping me make a decision that put me on a path to higher education. It was important to me with a decision of such magnitude that I seek out only the wisest of counsel. Thank you for providing that."

"Your expertise far exceeded my expectations. You immediately identified and offered solutions to my key career issues. The resources you provided me with will be invaluable."

"Thank you for helping me craft a job-search strategy. It was the kick in the butt I needed. I have completed 5 of the 10 homework assignments you gave me."

“I really needed the clarity, the support, and the walking through that you did for me and I am extremely grateful.”

"My new improved resume has made a huge difference. I sent out my resume to about 10 more jobs and went on 7 more interviews."

“Thanks for all your help - I don't plan to see you professionally any more, I am hoping this is my ‘last’ job.”

We are very proud of our efforts and look forward to serving you.
