Thank you for the guidance and advice you have provided over the past year and a half. I believe this input has made me a better leader and a better person as well. It has also given me confidence to act in situations where before I might have been uncomfortable. Your services have become a vital part of working with the people in our business and therefore the business itself.

I started working with Dennis Stark during my first year of college. Confused on career choices, his testing and counseling helped guide me into the career that I currently have. Since graduating, I have stayed in contact with Dr. Stark and have worked with him to further understand my strengths and limitations, and how to best apply my strengths in my professional setting. Since graduating from college 15 years ago, my income has increased 1500% and my career has taken me to the position of Senior Vice President of a nationally known company. I credit a tremendous amount of my success to Dennis Stark & Associates.

It has been a pleasure meeting with you regarding my Career Development Assessment. The feedback I’ve received was invaluable. No question your testing shows incredible insight on the individual—a great experience for me. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to do this again—I’d like to see how quickly I improve.

Dr. Starks' Career Counseling Program has proven to be an invaluable experience as I seek to take the next step in my career path. The process itself and the resulting comprehensive report confirmed some hunches that I had, but it also gave me a few surprises about my skills and tendencies. Dr. Stark provided me with tangible results and clear recommendations on how I can improve myself to become an effective, even excellent, leader. I walk away from the program with renewed clarity as to my own strengths and limitations, as well as an increased confidence in my abilities. I am genuinely excited about applying these results to securing work that will reward and fulfill me both personally and professionally. Thank you so much!

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for your personal and professional approach to helping me find the career that’s best for me. You certainly gave me plenty to chew on and I have already been to the bookstore to start my library… Again, Dennis, I thoroughly enjoyed our work together and thank you for the time and energy you committed to my 'case'. If I ever find anyone in need of your type of services, you will receive my enthusiastic and unqualified endorsement.
--John E., Retired USMC Major
I can’t thank you enough for your exhaustive research and findings about my abilities, interests, values, personality and careers which match my personal profile. The results are more than just food for thought; they amount to a prescription for a better life for me and my family.

When the field I dedicated myself to for twenty years dramatically changed through mergers, acquisitions and consolidation I faced difficult choices and an uncertain future. It was your Career Development Assessment -- and the personal counseling that amplified the testing -- that kept me focused and opened my eyes to the possibilities before me. I greatly appreciate your help in giving me the confidence to apply my skills in a new and rewarding career. In fact, I felt that your services were so valuable to my career that I 've sent my son and daughter to you for career counseling. Thanks again for helping them.
--Tim S., Divisional Director, Service Wholesale, Inc.
I wanted to write to thank you for the time you took to go over the [career counseling] I did with you. I appreciate the time you took to answer all my questions. Other questions have arisen from further reflection and review of the material and I hope to contact you in the near future about these. I have looked further into the occupations suggested by the test results—in particular, the accounting field. Thank you again for your help. I should have gone to see you sooner!
--Joe S.
I recently went through your Career Counseling process. The insights it provided regarding my career interests, personality and leadership tendencies have helped me to zero in on the kind of career and job environment that is most conducive to my personal effectiveness and satisfaction. Your insight, wisdom, and professionalism are much appreciated. Thank you!
--Randall R.
I just wanted to say thank you for your work in regards to my career path. I sincerely appreciate the attention and care that went into my report. It's funny--several of the career choices that provided the best match for me had always been interests of mine. I was also truly amazed that one of the careers that best matched my personality, skills, and values was my current job path! I knew deep down inside that this is what I wanted to do throughout my career. Unfortunately, the last couple of chaotic years in the telecom industry took that confidence and clarity away from me. I am grateful that God directed me towards you and your assistance. I am truly fortunate that you have helped me regain confidence and clarity about my career. I would 100% recommend your services to anyone who needs the same help that I needed. I am very happy with the great detail that you have put into my report. I was amazed at how the tests and inventories exposed so much about me that I had not realized in the past. At the same time, a lot of the feedback reaffirmed many of the things I already knew about myself. Once again, I am sincerely grateful for your assistance. This was money very well spent and has been a wonderful investment that will reap great rewards for me in the future.

We have used Dr. Dennis Stark's Career Counseling Program for both our college-aged sons. As with many students, our sons were unsure of what courses of study and career directions might be 'right' for them. Dr. Stark's program provided them with detailed inventories of their strengths, limitations, and personality tendencies, along with a very comprehensive list of potential careers that were best-suited for their strengths and personalities. What our sons appreciated the most was the one-on-one three-hour intensive review session of this list of potential careers with Dr. Stark, which helped them to clarify a direction to take. We wish now that we had used Dr. Stark's program sooner, for we would have saved several thousand dollars in tuition costs (not to mention wasted time) had our sons been more focused earlier in their college careers.
--Lou and Pat R., parents of two sons who were career counselees
