“Valentina Imhoff is an exceptional Catholic Career Coach who provides not only practical guidance but also spiritual encouragement to her clients. Her ability to prepare individuals thoroughly for interviews is evident in the success stories, including my own, where I received an offer just one week after my [practice] interview [with her]. Valentina's coaching truly inspires confidence and aligns career aspirations with faith-based values, making her a standout mentor in any career journey.”

“For months, I had been racking my brain trying to update my resume with the work I had done over the past eight years, which was in a completely different field than my previous 15 years of experience. I eventually realized that I needed a professional career coach and resume writer to help me move forward.

Before finding Valentina, I met with two other career coaches. They were both experienced and professional, and each described themselves as “faith-based.” However, I felt that I needed a Spirit-filled career coach—someone who could understand where I was coming from by the power of the Holy Spirit—especially because I wasn’t even clear on what I was trying to do with my resume or what kind of work I was planning to pursue. All I knew was that I needed to make a change—and I had this idea that I wanted to work for St. Joseph just like St. Brother Andre Bessette did!

Valentina was absolutely the person I had been praying to find. In the process of working with her on my resume, I felt that I was also being guided by the Holy Spirit through her. In fact, the very next day after Valentina and I finalized the resume, my regular spiritual director—who had heard me talking about the “dreaded resume” for months—asked me to share it with him. He said he had a friend in the industry that I was targeting and offered to pass it along.

Just a few days later, I already had an interview scheduled with two Senior Vice Presidents of a large insurance brokerage! It truly felt like God had been waiting for me to finish that resume so that He could get on with moving me forward!

I am so thankful for Valentina! Through her, updating that “dreaded” resume became a cause for great joy and immense gratitude for how God has been with me throughout my life, blessing me and providing for me through all of the different stages! And, the support I received from Valentina did not end on the day she sent me the final draft of my resume. She continued to walk with me—prayerfully—through my subsequent interviews and all the way to the offer! I believe that her prayers were actually even more powerful than the words she helped me put on the page! All glory and praise to God! ”

“Valentina was wonderful to work with for career counseling and resume revitalization! Valentina's approach to career counseling from a place of faith and confidence in God's providence was so encouraging and helped me root this job application process in greater trust in God.  She was thorough and responsive as we worked together and had great attention to detail to craft my resume for each of the jobs I was applying for. I'm thankful I found her services!”

/ Leanne J. /

“I knew I desperately needed a career change, but I also had to admit to myself that I needed help getting there. I was a bit skeptical about secular coaching services, so I simply googled “Catholic Career Coaches” and discovered Fiat Career Coaching. I booked Valentina for a Coaching Session, and to say it helped jump-start my career pivot would be an understatement. Valentina took time to pray with me through certain blockages and uncertainties and helped me to more clearly hear where the Lord was calling me. While praying together, I experienced a distinct healing breakthrough, which helped to clear the way for the next steps.

Valentina then helped me to set career goals on the next steps to take and which types of roles to apply to, while also encouraging me to remain prayerful, peaceful, and trustful in God’s providence throughout the process. I walked away with a sense of deep trust in the Lord’s call for my career, but also with a sense of confidence and determination. Working with her was truly a joy, and I would absolutely recommend her to any Catholic in need of a career coach.”

“Valentina was extremely helpful and made navigating the world of cover letters and resumes easy and stress free.

“Working with Valentina gave me so much peace! She prayed with me, helped me dream big and process through different thoughts and concerns I was having, and assisted me step-by-step in tailoring my LinkedIn profile to reflect my gifts and experience. She is full of great insights and it was very comforting to receive feedback from her knowing her work is rooted in prayer. What a gift it was to have her assistance!”

/ Christine C. /

“I’ve been thinking about getting a career coach for many years now. I work in a creative industry and I wondered about working with someone who is not connected to my industry just to have a different perspective. I met Valentina through Catholic Women in Business and was impressed with a presentation she gave, and I’ve been listening to her podcast ever since.

I knew that I needed help with my LinkedIn profile, which I have totally ignored for many years, and thought that maybe this could be my first step into exploring career coaching in general and specifically with Valentina. I am so glad I took this step. Valentina has transformed my LinkedIn page and helped me reframe my thinking about sharing my work and accomplishments. Specifically, she reminded me that these are all God given and anytime I share about my work it's really like my own Magnificat that points to God’s glory.

Valentina was very thorough and did a lot of research about my industry in order to provide the best changes to my LinkedIn profile. She helped rework every section and get my LinkedIn current in a way that is very detailed but easy to read – she had great recommendations and did the hard work of making those changes for me. She certainly put in more time and effort than she was paid for. Valentina is also very encouraging and insightful which makes her a delight to work with. I highly recommend her!!”

“After spending many years raising a family, I had the privilege of working with Valentina to help prepare my resume for the job market.  What seemed like a formidable project at first, became so much easier as Valentina strove to understand my situation and background and worked to produce a resume that reflected who I am and what I have to offer.  She has a very skilled and thoughtful approach in helping her clients.”

“Valentina received me and my concerns with such warmth and generosity. She saw things in a new light, and her solutions were creative and utterly workable. I carry both her ideas and encouragement with me. I trust her completely.”

“Looking for a new job was very overwhelming, but after talking through options with Valentina, and then taking her class on interviews, I was able to walk confidently into several interviews. The class helped me know going into the interviews what to expect, what employers were looking for, and how to answer common questions well. It was such a huge help and reduced the stress around preparing for interviews so much! I’m so grateful!”

“I had the pleasure of using Valentina's resume revitalization service. Valentina has the innate ability to listen with empathy and can intuitively ask pivotal questions to bring one's experiences and skills to life.

Valentina's guided questions allowed me to visualize a more well-rounded picture of the work I had done in my current/previous roles and positioned my resume competitively amongst the other candidates.

Valentina is professional, friendly, accurate, and most importantly, her knowledge as a career coach truly uplifts and impacts her clients. She has positively influenced my career transition goals by revitalizing my resume and connecting me with individuals I can network with within my industry of choice.

I highly recommend Valentina for all your career consulting needs!”

“Valentina helped guide me with her deep insight in the Catholic faith. By the end of our session, I felt peace and clarity regarding the career and spiritual questions I had in my life.

Going forward, I know that she is a trusted source of guidance I can turn to for further help regarding the many questions life brings.”

/ Faith B. /

“I've known Valentina for years, and was lucky enough to use her Interview Practice service for an upcoming interview. Valentina has always been one of the most empathic people I know, and I truly believe it's her empathy that allows her to be successful as a career coach.

During our consultation, she listened to what I wanted to get out of our session, thoroughly reading through my resume and the job description, even going as far as researching the company itself. During our coaching session, she gave advice on how to approach the interview process and used personalized questions that fit the company and job description for our practice interview.

She not only has the skills and range of experiences to back up her coaching services, but she also has the depth, sensitivity, and genuine love of her job to walk with you in your journey."

“Around the same time I was going to move and begin my job search, I stumbled upon Valentina's 4-part series through Fiat Career Coaching. It was a Godsend at the time. She started at the foundation - our identity in the Lord - and then moved into the practicals, such as resume building and creating a LinkedIn profile. Using what I learned from these classes, I felt more confident applying to jobs, and eventually I found a job fit for me.

Valentina herself is also a gift, and she gives her heart through Fiat Career Coaching. She's relatable - having gone through the struggle of job searching, striving to find something that resonates from deep within. And in a beautiful way, she shares her wisdom and experience.”

“I had been feeling stuck in my career for some time when an unexpected opportunity presented itself. While deciding whether to pursue what would be a significant change, I reached out to Valentina. She helped me quiet the noise that was drowning out the parts of myself I should have been listening to.

Speaking and praying with her brought truth back to the forefront and encouraged me to bring my whole self to the career discernment, not just my work self.

I felt at peace about applying for the new job and committing to the leap. Her recommendations helped me maintain that peace through the interview process. I am grateful for Valentina’s guidance and insight, and couldn’t be more excited to start this next chapter in my life!”
