Individual Testimonials
"Head Global's Taking Back Control of Your Career Series is an incredibly helpful way to make a career action plan in light of the abrupt and monumental changes in American foreign aid policy. The facilitators were highly knowledgeable, approachable and empathetic. Each one offered concrete tools, tips and strategies to move our job hunt forward and make us more effective. The small cohort allowed us to get to know and support one another. I highly recommend it."
