Testimonials
The consultant was very attentive in listening to my questions and we had a very productive
brainstorming session which was my goal for the first session. After the session, they
sent me a list of important topics we had discussed and priorities. This session definitely helped
me to understand the short-term tasks that I need to address to change gears in my
career in Scientific Communications.

At the end of my PhD, I was stuck on how to figure out where I wanted and could go in my future career after my dissertation. Chaperone
helped me to raise my gaze and
broaden my horizons, and gave me
tools helping me to figure out what I
wanted to do and strategies on how to
move in that direction. Now I have
been offered a postdoc position and I have made new contacts in new research fields,
valuable for future collaborations.

I had two sessions with Chaperone.
Talking to the consultant gave me the
hope and self-assurance about my
skills that I really needed during my job
search. Apart from empathizing with my
situation, she suggested tangible tasks I
could do to move forward. She also
showed experienced discretion about
what aspects to focus on during our calls.
This was slightly unsettling initially - only
later did I realize the wisdom in the aspects she
chose to focus on!
