I cannot recommend Larry Miller enough for career coaching. I found myself in a dead-end situation in one of the Biotech companies in Boston, with my company heading towards bankruptcy and layoffs already happening. I knew I needed to act fast.
That’s when I turned to Larry. From the moment we connected, he sprang into action.
Larry not only worked with me to craft an outstanding resume, but also developed a strategic plan with actionable steps, including impact statements from my previous employment that highlighted my strengths in ways I had never considered.
Larry’s coaching transformed a moment of panic into an incredible opportunity. If you’re looking for a career coach who delivers results and truly cares about you and your needs, Larry is the expert you need.
Robert H. (Senior Science Communications Leader)
I spent years on my PhD and Post Doc, but I realized relatively early that lab work wasn’t for me, leading to growing frustration. Eventually, I accepted the need for a change but had no idea where to start. I was unaware of other life science careers mostly because my graduate school was very academically focused and provided no training on alternate career paths.
A friend recommended Larry for career coaching, and working with him was transformative. He quickly identified my skills and interests, guiding me toward a more fulfilling career in the biotechnology industry. Larry introduced me to roles I didn’t know existed and coached me to network much more effectively. His support with my resume and job application strategies was exactly what I had been missing.
I’m now very happily employed as a Product Application Scientist at one of the Biotech companies in San Diego, where I use my scientific expertise to help our customers solve complex research challenges.
I hated my life while working at the lab, so moving into a job where I could enjoy using my scientific expertise to help fellow scientists was the best feeling in the world.
Annette B. (PhD Level Molecular Biologist)
I contacted Larry because I felt stuck in my current job with no hope for advancement. I’d been working as a biologist in one of the large pharmaceutical companies in New Jersey for about five years, but received only one promotion early on.
I tried talking with my supervisor, but he always shot back, “it’s not time for you yet.” I was working hard and, I thought, doing great work, but had no path to rise up.
I contacted Larry for career coaching. The first thing I noticed is that he listened carefully to my concerns. With that insight, he helped me diagnose what was getting in my way at work. He coached me on ways to secure more meaningful discussions with my boss and colleagues. We brainstormed ways to catapult me into gaining more responsibilities.
This helped me change my current relationship with my supervisor. As he began to see me differently, I started to contribute to high-profile projects, which provided more visibility and allies across the company. After around 5 months, my supervisor agreed to put me forward for the promotion I’d been wanting all along.
Qiang Z. (Early Career Pharmaceutical Life Scientist)
I secured a new job within 30 days after my new career search materials were completed—something I never thought possible, especially in such a competitive environment. Larry would want me to say these results aren't typical, but I was thrilled to land a job so quickly.
Most importantly, Larry actively listened to me, making sure he understood my needs and desires. Amongst other things, I wanted a job by the ocean. I’m now happily employed, living exactly where I wanted to be. Larry is a career coach who works hand-in-hand with you and cares deeply about you and your needs. I highly recommend him.
S. Holm (Senior Scientific PR Professional)
I had been out of work for almost a year and was starting to freak out. I applied to literally hundreds of jobs online — picking up 10 interviews, but not a single offer. I found Larry through a former colleague and reached out to him for help and career coaching. I did the 30 min free consultation. As we went over my background on the call, I noticed how carefully he listened and asked key questions.
We used the Impact Navigator process to bring out all the positive impacts and outcomes I had during my career. Using this, he helped me completely revise my resume into something that would show employers the value I could bring to their companies.
Later, STAR Log became a crucial tool in coaching me about how to take on the toughest interview questions. I now have answers “at the ready” — responses that will serve me for the rest of my career.
My first big offer from one of the Biotech companies in San Francisco Bay area came 3 months and 2 days after we completed my new resume, cover letter, and STAR Log. I will never forget the “feeling” of finally jumping up and into something so great! And still today, I feel better about myself and what I can offer.
Stephen O. (Mid-Career Biotech Life Scientist)
I recommend Larry for help with career advancement. I was interning at a boutique Biotech scientific communications agency while earning credits for my university degree. I worked on a few PR campaigns but wasn’t sure what I wanted to do or where I wanted to be.
Larry helped guide me into possible life science careers, where I learned that I was passionate about media relations. Trouble was, I had very little experience outside of my university training and internship.
Larry worked tirelessly with me to restructure my resume into something highly professional, which focused on the impacts I had in the past. This led to obtaining more interviews. We also created an impact-focused interviewing and networking guide, which I am confident helped me secure a new role as Media Relations Strategist at a major Biotech agency.
My salary nearly doubled, and I achieved the kind of role every first-year graduate dreams of, doing what I love at a highly successful firm and making the kind of money I never dreamed possible.
