“TLDR: Secured a new position as Sales Engineer II @Huntress !!! Been holding this one close to the chest for a while now. . . Like most other individuals facing layoffs, I experienced a period of feeling lost in what were next steps and facing real uncertainty in the future of my career. It took some time, even leveraging the help of a rockstar team of career coaches, but I am happy to announce that I have accepted an offer and just finished my first week at Huntress. I need to take a moment to call out Mattie Stremic for being my champion during my job search process, she has such a phenomenal program for assisting SEs and AEs actively seeking roles. The program truly helps you effectively strategize your job search journey and it personally helped me regain confidence in myself as an SE. To add some closing remarks, for any of my colleagues facing layoffs currently and facing the fear that is encompassed in that experience, don't stop pushing forward. Don't stop learning and working on career development initiatives. Stay persistent in your search and utilize your network! Utilize your network! That "right fit" will come and if its not at month 5 it will be at month 9 or beyond, just believe in the process and the "right" time.”

“I joined because I had strong experience, but I wanted to be more strategic in how I positioned it for my next move. After taking a sabbatical, I wanted to be intentional with my search and make sure I was telling my career story in a way that aligned with the roles I was pursuing. Mattie was great to work with. She was personable, professional, and helped guide me through what could have been a very stressful process. The program helped me turn a broad, cross-functional background into a clear and compelling career narrative. The positioning work, resume support, and interview prep helped me sharpen how I communicated my experience and made me feel much more prepared throughout the process. The outcome was everything I could have asked for. Within two months of actively applying and interviewing, I landed a role I was genuinely excited about with a career path that aligned with what I wanted next. I would recommend it, especially if your background is broad, nonlinear, or you have been out of the interview process for a while. The program helps you communicate your value clearly, prepare with intention, and show up with confidence.”

“I have had the WONDERFUL opportunity to work with Mattie in the past as well as for my current role. Obviously looking for a new job and preparing to apply can be quite cumbersome. Mattie truly makes the process so seamless and easy to navigate. I ended up getting my new role with a 35k increase from my previous role! Mattie is the best the teammate and cheerleader I could imagine. I think she has more than 24 hours in her day because she is truly always helping someone or available with advice and help. I will always recommend Mattie. 5 stars & 10/10 recommend!”

“In less than 4 months I signed an offer which has been absolutely life changing, both in terms of increased earnings and trajectory in the space. I could not have done this alone without Mattie's coaching and guidance throughout the entire process. Before starting the program I was spraying and praying LinkedIn applications and hearing back from nothing. I interviewed with 25% of applications I submitted and suddenly had my options of which company to choose from. The difference was truly night and day. I'd recommend both career changer and seasoned vet alike to make the decision to be coached by people who know this business inside and out, and how to nail your dream job tactically in this day and age where the market is oversaturated with applicants. This has by far been my greatest return on investment in years and excited for what the future will bring now!”

“I've had the chance to work directly with Mattie Stremic through her one-on-one coaching over the last few years in different areas, and her connection to the wider PreSales network is unmatched. She brings a genuinely white-glove experience to every interaction, taking the time to understand where you actually want to go before she ever gives advice. What sets her apart is that none of it is transactional. It comes from a real passion for helping others build careers in, or break into, the Sales and PreSales space. If you're navigating a transition in this field, Mattie is exactly who you want in your corner.”

“From the very beginning, Mattie helped me refine my approach. Everything from optimizing my resume with keywords and highlighting my strengths in a data-driven way, to strategically engaging with hiring managers and recruiters. She provided a structured, targeted strategy that helped me make meaningful connections and really stand out in a crowded field. Working with Mattie ultimately led to a life-changing opportunity. The total cash compensation package that I accepted was 170% of what my current role was paying me. An outcome that I definitely couldn't have achieved on my own and was more than I had initially imagined going into the process. I know that I'm a great sales engineer, but I am not a great job searcher. Mattie's expert-level understanding of the process and ability to translate that knowledge into a strategy allowed me to really highlight my strengths and secure the best possible offer.”

“Mattie gave me a structured, end-to-end framework for SE interviews. She helped me translate my experience into a strategic narrative around revenue impact and ownership, then gave me a repeatable playbook-demo structure, value-driven slides, and executive presence. It didn't just help me land the role; it permanently changed how I approach every interview since.”

“We rewrote my resume and LinkedIn in week one, then got strategic about which companies to target and how to differentiate. By week two I had interviews on the calendar, including with companies that had rejected me two months earlier. Hiring managers explicitly told me they could see my initiative. I just accepted an Account Executive offer at ClearGov with a significant pay increase.”

“Mattie and her team have a seamless program that breaks down the entire interview process from start to finish. Before joining, I struggled to even get screening calls. The structured tools and reps at every stage made all the difference-I landed a role with a 35% pay increase doing work I'm far more passionate about.”
