Testimonials
My passion is to help you be successful in mapping your career following teaching, developing and enhancing your technology networking, creating a resume that will highlight your unique skills, and interview preparation for success.
Working with Austin for the past 6 months has been the exact guidance that I needed. Austin provided me with direction, professional advice, strategies for the job search, and overall accountability. Searching for a job prior to working with Lane Switch was daunting and often devastating. Once I had Austin in my corner, it was much easier to keep my spirits high and my sight focused on the next actionable step.

I was an educator for 8 years when I made the decision to take a job in the corporate world. I wasn’t sure how things worked or what to expect. I was fortunate to be introduced to Austin who had made the same career jump from education. He helped me navigate the uncertainties and obstacles of a corporate career. Austin showed me ways I could utilize skills I used as a teacher to make the transition easier for me. Under the tutelage of Austin I was given the tools to minimize the learning curve and anxiety that comes with a new career.

Teacher, Carlisle High School
After being in the education field for over 5 years, I had decided to make the tough decision to move on from my teaching career, and see what else was out there. Without knowing where to start, I knew an updated LinkedIn profile would be my best bet. After linking with friends and acquaintances, I had remembered that Austin, a good friend, had left education himself to pursue something new. Connecting with Austin was one of the best things I could have done for myself! Austin’s knowledge and insight helped me understand that the skills I had obtained as a teacher, will transfer over to other positions in the “real world”. With Austin walking me through my skills and experiences as a teacher, and how they connected to the business world, it made me more confident in my abilities to go out and tackle the job market!

I got connected to Austin through a mutual friend. What I love about his work is that he approaches his job as a coach. One on one meetings with him every week were extremely helpful because he would help me break down my resume, go through my LinkedIn, etc. What I appreciated most about him was the way he cared to get to know me personally so that he could connect me to jobs and opportunities that best fit me. Looking for a job can be stressful, frustrating, and intimidating at times, but having Austin as consistent accountability was very beneficial for me throughout the entire process. He made sure to check in with me regularly and was very supportive. His positive outlook and ability to connect made it a great experience for me.

I found Austin through LinkedIn while I was job searching and scrolling through my feed. I decided to reach out and get more information. It was such a great decision. Austin helped me shift my perspective on the job search, LinkedIn, my resume, and most of all, myself. He helped me realize that I am not just a teacher and I have so many transferable skills into whatever career path I choose. He definitely puts an effort on being your support and promoting self advocacy. Austin is extremely supportive, even after you finish the program, and he will be one of your biggest cheerleaders. I have recommended him to teachers in transition, and will continue to do so because of how much he has helped me. 10000000/10 recommend.
