Bio
Amy Berenson, MBA, PCC, CPCC
Wolfgang knows his stuff--I attended his workshops on upgrading my LinkedIn profile and now share his tips with many of my clients. He has a great strategy for branding and I recommend him often to clients who are looking to change jobs and/or careers.

Wolfgang's contribution to my professional life, through his classes at the Salem Career Center, was the positive feedback and great advice he taught and modeled for me - this was the most significant reason I succeeded in getting a job in 2012, after looking for fulltime work for 3 years. Wolfgang helped bring structure to my job-seeking life, with his good attitude, professional appearance, humor and yet, straight talk about the realities of the current business world, and finding my place in it. Because of his guidance and recommendations (like encouraging his students to attend the local Jobseeker’s group), I pulled myself together to produce an excellent resume and improved interview skills, and that in turn lifted my self-esteem to the point where I had the best interview with my current employer that I ever had with anyone. I cannot thank Wolfgang enough. I know that everyone that he teaches and supports in the future will benefit from his experience and guidance, and they are lucky, as I was, to meet and know him. He is the kind of person that makes a difference in the world - I hope he continues to bring unemployed people out of their depression and misery to help them create a better version of themselves. Any employer that hires this man will be significantly enhanced by his work and presence. My wish for Wolfgang is that he achieves his most significant professional goals, just as he has coached others do the same.
