I struggled with coming up with an actionable game plan to proceed with the next steps in my professional development. But talking to Corey helped me to narrow down on specific tasks I needed to do to help me achieve my goals. Corey was incredibly supportive and friendly, and our interaction went really smoothly! Magnifi's coaching service was amazing, and I hope that others will get a chance to talk with Corey :)

Before working with Magnifi, I struggled with making my resume stand out, finding the right job boards, and having a clear career vision. Working with Corey has been a game-changer. He gave me practical tips that really made my resume shine, and sent me links to the best job boards, saving me so much time. Corey’s advice was tailored just for me, unlike the generic advice I’ve received from other coaches. He really understands the job market and cares about my success. Thanks to him I feel much more confident about my career path. I highly recommend Magnifi's coaching services because Corey’s expertise and personalized approach have made a huge difference for me and can help others reach their career goals too.

I had just transitioned out of full-time ministry—a field I deeply loved and had dedicated years to. Stepping away from that and trying to re-enter the job market was overwhelming. I struggled to find the confidence to identify a new career direction and often felt lost, applying to jobs without a clear sense of purpose. My job search had been filled with rejections, leaving me feeling stuck and unsure of what I truly wanted to pursue. 


Honestly, working with Corey felt like having a therapist, friend, and career coach all in one. He brought out a confidence in me that I hadn’t felt in a while, helping me see my own potential and providing solid guidance on how to move forward. Corey was relatable and empathetic, meeting me where I was while being real and inspirational. He shared practical tools and gave me direct, personalized feedback, walking me step-by-step through what I needed to do. By the end of the session, I felt hopeful and capable of pursuing a career that excites me—not just a job to pay the bills. 


I specifically looked for a coach of color because that representation is hard to find in professional settings, so that was a major plus! Corey has a unique balance of leader and friend, which I think is crucial in coaching. He has a natural sensitivity to where you’re at emotionally—he knew I was in a vulnerable place but stayed focused on building my confidence. Instead of being judgmental or giving quick-fix answers, he listened, accepted, and offered thoughtful guidance, showing me practical steps to reach my goals. In terms of showing up as a friend, he held space for my emotions, gave affirmations, and never made me feel rushed. Corey genuinely invested in me as a person. He's the type of coach who probably would continue to check in on his client's progress. 


It’s given me the confidence, direction, and support I needed. Rather than feeling defeated, I’m excited to tackle the challenges ahead. I’m confident that the next job I land will be due, in large part, to the coaching I’ve received here. Before, I doubted I could find anything outside of ministry that would genuinely excite me, but now I can envision a career path I’m thrilled about, allowing me to fully embrace this new chapter. 


I hadn’t realized just how invaluable having a career coach would be. Sometimes, you really don’t know what you don’t know, and having someone to guide you and streamline your efforts can save a tremendous amount of time and energy. Talking things through with someone who can not only direct you but also help you uncover personal insights is incredibly empowering.

My biggest challenge before working with Magnifi was engaging and creating content on LinkedIn. Corey was able to ease my nerves about starting this new journey of LinkedIn content creation. Compared to other coaches, you can tell Corey actually cares. He is an excellent listener - and got to know me as a person and my specific situation before suggesting any course of action. Before our LinkedIn optimization meeting, I started to apply some of his lessons from our initial phone call into practice and I saw actual results - scoring my first two interviews from directly applying his techniques. I cannot wait to see how my career is further impacted by Corey's teachings. Because of the amazing experience I had working with Corey, I would highly recommend Magnifi's coaching services for anyone ready to level up their career.

My biggest challenge before working with Magnifi was showcasing my talents on LinkedIn to gain attention of hiring managers.  

My experience has been excellent while being coached by Corey. He is always here for support and goes above and beyond to make sure I will see progress in my journey. 

Corey is very detailed-oriented and actually takes time to learn his client unlike other coaches.

Magnifi has had a great impact on me, I'm now able to read job postings and reflect my skills in a manner to make myself the ideal choice for employers.

I would recommend Magnifi's services because Corey will literally walk you through every step and make sure you're able to position yourself in a manner that will grab the attention of recruiters or hiring managers.

When I found Magnifi on LinkedIn, I was at a turning point for my career. Corey's insightful coaching met me where I needed support and helped me reconnect with my professional purpose in a competitive tech market. His holistic approach built my confidence and clarified my 'why.' We built a comprehensive Career Roadmap that clarified my job search with specific goals that aligned with what was most important for my life and career. In one of our resume workshop sessions, Corey drew from his 10+ years as a Technical Recruiter, and transformed my approach, from formatting to sentence structure. I crafted a robust resume that secured me a same-day interview and as a result of our work together, I ultimately landed my dream job!

Before working with Magnifi, I did not know how to communicate my value on my resume, i didn't understand the power of lesser-known companies, i have a lot of great relationships and knew the value of them but not necessarily all of the ways i could better utilize them. My experience has been a breath of fresh air. I didn't expect this approach and at the beginning I was definitely skeptical because i didn't understand how the first few sessions were going to lead to me becoming a stronger candidate. Corey is super personable and motivational which are two very important qualities to possess in a relationship like this I've worked with a coach previously and I'd say that Corey takes a more holistic approach and gets to know you as a person before delving into the "job hunting" of it all. That's very helpful when you learn that they're all connected While I haven't secured a new role yet, I am way better equipped to communicate my value to another company Yes, because I see the impact and clarity that it's brought to me over the past two months

The worst advice I received during my job search last year was “fake it till you make it.” I heard it repeatedly from different people. That approach just isn’t me. The thought of misalignment and potentially having to start over didn’t sit well. Instead, I hired a career coach to guide me in improving my LinkedIn profile, resume, and networking strategies—skills I didn’t fully develop after years of loyalty to one company. This new approach is helping me identify companies that align with my management style, creating the foundation for a mutually beneficial relationship—no faking required. I’m fortunate to have received a package and have the savings to take the time to find the right next step. To those currently searching, I hope you can stay true to yourself and find a role that feels like a great fit. If you need guidance, support, or just want to chat, feel free to connect. And if the job search process feels overwhelming, I highly recommend reaching out to Corey Collins (getmagnified.org). Wishing everyone success on their journey and that 2025 has good things ahead!

When we met at AfroTech, you shared one piece of advice that stuck with me: communicate my value proposition with confidence during interviews. That simple yet powerful tip transformed my conversations with recruiters and ultimately led to a job offer. Thank you for your guidance!

I resigned from my previous role in October 2023, with no backup plan. It was becoming more difficult to get past a phone screen so I reached out to Corey to help me navigate in this new job market and how to get my foot in the door. I was not only seeking an opportunity that would advance my career but also an organization that was well aligned with my core values. My biggest hurdle was interviewing and how to secure an offer. My nerves would sometimes cause me to stumble over my words and overanalyze my answers. Going through Corey’s interview prep and best practices really helped me to walk into interviews more confidently and build trust with hiring managers. After months in the job search, I got an offer in my dream role and I was able to increase my income by 20% with this career move. If you’re finding difficulty with interviewing and securing a role that fits your values and capabilities, I would 100% recommend having a clarity conversation with Corey. He truly cares about his client’s success and is great at creating an actionable plan.

After working together, I started sending out my resume to companies. It’s like night and day.. e-mail is off the hook, LinkedIn is off the hook, people talking to me about roles that are significantly higher scope with way more money than what I was getting before. Cannot thank you enough!! Whoever is reading this, Corey is a Career Magician!!! Book with him today, even if you like your current role. I was completely underselling myself, biffing interviews, had zero confidence. I was ashamed of my career journey because I didn’t think I had done anything of value. In one hour, Corey unblocked all of that and helped me craft a fresh new narrative. I’ve never been so proud of myself or impressed with my own accomplishments. It’s totally flipped a switch for me

Before working with Magnifi, my biggest challenges were navigating the complexities of technical interviews and effectively showcasing my skills and experiences to potential employers. I often found myself struggling with how to present my qualifications best and felt unprepared for the rigorous interview processes.
My experience being coached by Corey has been incredibly positive. I was thoroughly prepared based on the interview prep guide and the feedback from the mock interview sessions. Corey’s insights and guidance were instrumental in helping me understand what employers are looking for and how to communicate my strengths effectively. 
Corey stands out as a coach, especially when compared to other coaches I've worked with. His background as a recruiter who filled technical roles gives him a unique perspective on the hiring process. This experience translates into actionable advice and targeted coaching that directly addresses the key areas where candidates need to improve. Corey’s approach is both strategic and empathetic, making him an exceptional coach.
The impact of Magnifi's coaching on my career journey has been substantial. I received an offer from one of the roles I applied to and have an interview set for another role the following business day. Additionally, I have a second role offer pending. This success is a direct result of the tailored coaching and preparation I received, which significantly enhanced my confidence and performance during interviews. 

I would highly recommend Magnifi's coaching services to others. The detailed interview prep guide, the constructive feedback from mock interviews, and the unique insights provided by Corey, especially given his background as a recruiter for technical roles, all contributed to my success in securing job offers. The coaching not only prepared me for specific interviews but also equipped me with skills and strategies that will benefit my long-term career development

Before working with Magnifi, my resume lacked a clear, cohesive narrative that effectively highlighted my experience and impact. When it came to interviews, I struggled with confidence and had difficulty articulating my value in a compelling way. Although I followed the recommended STAR and FAANG frameworks, my responses were often too long-winded and scattered, which left interviewers confused about my key takeaways and contributions. 


Corey is truly exceptional. His energy and confidence are contagious, and working with him felt like collaborating with a trusted friend who genuinely wants you to win. He brought fresh perspective and strategic clarity to my career path in a way I hadn't considered before. What truly sets Corey apart is how approachable and personable he is—it created a safe space for reflection, growth, and honest conversation about where I wanted to go. 

 

Working with Corey gave me the confidence and clarity I needed to show up strong in interviews and on paper. He helped me reshape my resume and refine my interview approach, but more importantly, he helped me see my own value and define a clear direction for my career. The impact has been transformative. 


Everyone I’ve referred to Corey has had a similarly impactful experience and many have landed roles shortly after working with him. The results speak for themselves.
