Career Success Stories

“I did 3 career coaching sessions with Brilliant Person Career Coaching and during this time, Yules was extremely professional, kind, attentive, and provided excellent advice on career paths and finding a job here in Calgary. Yules helped me to acknowledge my values and strengths that I can bring to a company and improved my resume to help me stand out more to potential employers. Yules was always available outside of career session times and also messaged me regularly with roles that would be a good fit for me, which I greatly appreciated. Because of Yules, I secured a role which suits my strengths in a great industry here in Calgary. I would highly recommend Yules to anyone looking for guidance with their career path and goals."

"I had the pleasure of working with Yules with great success! Yules is very good at job coaching and he really listens to you and asks important questions to understand what you want your employment goal to be and he also helps you understand what you bring to the table. Highly highly recommend."

“Yules has been extremely helpful with my career development, and has helped me reach my professional goals and set new ones. With his guidance, I was able to get 3 internships and a full-time job offer for once I graduate from the University of Calgary. He is passionate about his work, and it is evident through the results.”

"Before working with Yules, I had no strong vision for my career path. However, after each meeting he sent me multiple resources relating to issues we had touched on, which helped me gain a clear view of the options available to me. Due to Yules' guidance, I have set my eyes on a career path which is no longer shrouded in uncertainly. I recommend Yules' Discovery Package for people who want to learn more about themselves and help them find their ideal career path."

“I worked with Brilliant Person Career Coaching to help me write a resume for a paid internship opportunity. Yules was very flexible when it came to my busy university schedule and our sessions went well both in person and remotely. I gained many valuable skills and tips with how to create my resume, especially when it came to formatting and refining the structure and wording. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a one-on-one, individualized approach to starting your resume!”

"After working at my job for many years, I've been looking for a career transition that would suit me best. The coaching I received really helped me with preparing for my interviews, boosting my self esteem and confidence. I'm really grateful and thankful to have received such great advice/tips to help towards my future. Thank you very much."

“While working with a career coach; Yules, I was open to accept suggestions, resources, and options that ties together with my values and personality. I discovered the skills that I possessed and how I can broaden it to what I am interested in learning or how I can apply it to work. I like that Yules is very personable and is willing to work side by side with me to evaluate the assessments that were provided for me.”

I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity of working with Yules during a transformative time in my career. Our conversations were very educational and his coaching was great. Since starting sessions with Yules I’ve been able to approach every opportunity, conversation, and interview with confidence. I wouldn't have been able to make such a move in my career without his guidance, and will continue to recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-tier career counsellor and coach.

Yules is a kind-hearted, supportive, and knowledgeable individual. He maintains professionalism, while also striving to build genuine connections with the people he works with. He helps people recognize their value, and identify their personal and professional goals with a consistently compassionate approach. I would recommend Yules to anyone looking for career guidance!

Amazing service! I found myself in a tough situation when my program went on indefinite pause, and Yules Chan was immensely accommodating. He'll give you the resources to find a career that harmonizes with your situation, values, and skills.
To anyone looking for career guidance, I would highly recommend Yules Chan.

I am beyond thrilled with the resume that Yules, the brilliant mind behind Brilliant Person Career Coaching, created for me as I pursue a role as a family pastor. Yules’s expertise and dedication truly shine through in the exceptional resume he crafted. What really set this experience apart was how seamless the process was. Yules provided me with a concise and straightforward questionnaire that made it incredibly easy to convey my career goals, experiences, and aspirations. This thoughtful approach ensured that every detail was captured accurately and effectively.

Brilliant Person Career Coaching is a game-changer. Yules Chan provided personalized guidance that helped me gain clarity on my career path and build a strong strategy for advancement. The resume optimization and interview coaching is top notch. What truly sets this service apart is the holistic approach focusing not just on job searches but on long term career growth and personal fulfillment.

A few weeks after my first review, I'm even more grateful for Yules' coaching. The assessments and conversations gave me real clarity about my strengths and talents beyond just job titles, something I hadn't fully seen before. I now have a much better sense of what kinds of roles will actually suit me, and I'm applying with more confidence and self-awareness. Before, I sometimes chased positions that weren't in my best interest; now I'm more intentional and at peace with the direction I'm heading.
The work we did together has stayed with me and continues to guide my decisions. If you're feeling stuck or unclear about your next step, I can't recommend Yules and his book The Brilliant Move highly enough. Thank you again, Yules, your insight and kindness made (and are still making) a real difference.

From my very first email to Yules, when I shared my situation and asked for his time, he immediately understood what would be most helpful and offered three focused sessions without any up-selling or pressure. That kind of perceptiveness and generosity set the tone for the entire experience.

When we first met, I felt completely lost about my next steps, but working with Yules helped me gain much deeper insight into who I am, my strengths, and the gifts I can bring to the right role. In these challenging economic times, he offered practical ideas and clear direction to help me move toward my goals with confidence.

I also had the pleasure of reading his book, The Brilliant Move, which he kindly lent me. It’s thoughtfully written, easy to read, and genuinely helpful, guiding myself and other readers, to assess themselves honestly and create a meaningful path forward. I highly recommend both Yules and his book to anyone feeling stuck or seeking clarity in their career.

Warmest of thanks, Yules! your insight, kindness, and belief in me made a real difference, and I look forward to staying in touch. I promise I won’t hesitate to refer you to potential job seekers.

Over the past few months I have had the pleasure of working with Yules as part of my career transition process. I had been working toward advancing in my previous field of work but eventually discovered my plan no longer aligned with the outcomes I was striving for. After spending some time researching new ideas and hearing perspectives from others, I found myself feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what career path I should be investing in.

Yules delivered all of the things I was seeking from a career coach plus a few things I hadn't realized I would benefit from. He is very friendly and easy to speak with and took the time to fully understand my situation and the goals that I have. The detailed and thorough information I received about the occupations I was considering along with the actionable steps in my career transition process have been highly valuable. I was also provided with materials that allowed me to develop a better understanding of my strengths, characteristics and what type of roles I would be most likely to succeed in.

What I appreciate most is the level of professionalism and interest Yules takes in his clients. He went above and beyond to answer all of my questions, provide feedback and help me stay encouraged in moving forward.

Working with Yules has been a truly worthwhile experience that has helped me find clarity and better equipped me to seize my next opportunity. For those choosing a career path or making a career shift, I can't recommend Yules enough.

Fantastic service for MOG interview preparation! Yules provided tailored guidance, practical mock interviews, and honest feedback that boosted my confidence and sharpened my responses. Highly recommend for anyone pursuing a leadership role!

Every session is very meaningful, you discover yourself and leap forward in your career. Highly recommended!

Yules gave me very helpful feedback on my resume, and after making those changes I started receiving good interview opportunities. Thank you so much Yules!

Yules is a great guy and his methods are very refreshing compared to the traditional career counselling methods.

Yules is a solid guy and a great coach. His training is super structured, but never rigid, and he actually listens instead of just talking at you. The advice he gives is practical and easy to use right away. I’m way more confident now than when I started. If you’re on the fence, just book a session—you’ll get it.

I had a great experience working with Yules from Brilliant Person Career Coaching. He helped me build my confidence and better prepare for job interviews. His advice was clear, practical, and very encouraging.

Thanks to his guidance, I feel more confident and better prepared for my job search.

I truly appreciate his support and would recommend his coaching to anyone who wants to improve their confidence and succeed in interviews.

Writing a resume can be so daunting and overwhelming. In addition to making the process a breeze, he was very respectful and professional. He even helped me to discover the best career path as he helped me to discover my strengths and weaknesses. I was going to school to become a health care provider/nurse and as you can imagine, my boss received a mountain of resumes. She said that my resume was very concise and easy to read and was looking forward to how I could apply the strengths that Yules helped me discover to improve her business. I didn't expect to get a job with my resume, for I knew that there's more to consider as well. For example, having integrity is a key component to success. Speaking of integrity, I really respect the fact that Yules has integrity, honest, and fair with his prices and approach. I asked for help for resume writing and left with so much more. Anyway, I'm so glad that I overcame my fears and took a chance. 

Yules was an incredible resource for our daughter, who is in Grade 10 and was looking for guidance on choosing high school courses that would support her future university options, without yet knowing exactly what career she wanted to pursue.

From our first meeting, it was clear Yules was a great fit. After three sessions, my daughter said it was one of the best investments of time and money she has made. Not only did she come away with a clearer idea of which courses to take and a potential path to explore, but she also gained a stronger sense of self and greater confidence.

Even as a parent listening in, I found the sessions insightful. I gained perspective on my own strengths and limitations (and how to reframe them) and the types of environments where I do my best work.

Yules is thoughtful, insightful, faithful and genuinely cares about the people he works with. I only wish I had found him when I was in high school! I highly recommend him and will definitely seek him out again when my other children reach this stage.
