Career Development Partners does an outstanding job preparing their clients for what is ahead when transitioning to a new job or new career path. The training was spot on for preparing for creation and/or updating my resume. They provided insight into marketing yourself and understanding how to recognize your strengths and weaknesses.Excellent preparation for interviews and how to negotiate an offer. I highly recommend Career Development Partners.

Career Development Partners was very supportive in my very long journey to find a job. They would even set up private sessions to have mock interviews. When I did get hired on at a permanent employment they were just as excited as me and my family that I found a new position and sent me a congratulations card with a message that was signed with everyone who helped me.

My experience with CDP has been only positive and helpful. I was not certain how much they could help me when I got laid off earlier this year, but their value was shown throughout their program. They are very nice people who truly want to see you blossom in your career. A few months after taking the courses with CDP, I landed my dream job.

Career Development Partners provides a warm, caring, and supportive environment to help people transition successfully in their career. They really invest in the job seeker not only with tools, but also with connection, motivation, and a personalized approach. I really enjoyed the group sessions as opportunities to learn from one another and, of course, from the career experts at CDP. I was grateful that my previous employer provided this service after a company merger. Once I started a new job, they continued to cheer, encourage, and celebrate with me. Thank you CDP team!

Finding myself in a position of having to change career paths was not what I thought would be happening at this time in my life but it turned out to be a true blessing. The ENTIRE team at Career Development Partners was awesome. They were kind and understanding but more importantly they were knowledgeable professionals that stood behind me until I was offered a great opportunity with a great company. The support and guidance that helped me identify what I wanted from my career, taught me how to write the best possible resume, provided interviewing tips, (and the list goes on), was never wavering and gave me the confidence to move forward. I highly recommend that you check into this company and their multitude of services and resources. Special thanks to Travis, Joshua, and Elizabeth.

I highly recommend Career Development Partners. They provide excellent coaching and resources in assisting individuals with career transitions. In addition, not only do they help in providing the tools needed in getting a new position but they truly care about each individual.

The folks at CDP were helpful and friendly and genuine. I’m thankful for the assistance they provided as I looked for employment.

CDP was a great and very personalized experience. I appreciated that they would reach out to me often and help me get in touch with a variety of folks. The CDP group made the WPX merger announcement much less stressful. I did not know anything like this existed and am beyond grateful.

From the employer side of things, having Career Development Partners to lean on for employee career transitioning services brings much comfort to a stressful situation. Their coaching and job transition services are second to none! I recommend Travis and his team to anyone dealing with a reduction in workforce. They are also a top leadership training company for anyone wanting to accelerate their leadership track.

After being laid-off from my job of 14 years in late October, November was probably the lowest point of my life. Working for 48 years straight I was lucky to have never been laid off.I appreciate all I learned through Career Development Partners. Travis, Debra, and Richard were great coaches. They each shared their own story of being let go of a job the really liked. Each knew exactly what we ere going through. They were helpful and very resourceful on the information they shared with our group.When told that networking was one of the important ways of obtaining a position, I was doubtful. I didnt think I would be able to do it. I did exactly what Debra has suggested and I had a new position within two weeks.

CDP are the best! After I was laid off I was given the opportunity to attend classes with Career Development Partners. They provided the foundation to go through the Amazon hiring process. The whole staff are there for you, encouraging you. Im so thankful for CDP. TGE Monday morning coffee chats are the best.

After working with WPX Energy for almost 9 years, I was so grateful and blessed to have the opportunity to work with the entire Career Development Partners (CDP) team and especially Debra Arntsen. Debra provided job search expertise with a personal, genuinely caring hands-on approach which I am so grateful. Debras quick response to my emails to provide feedback and answer questions was very helpful. I highly recommend Career Development Partners coaches and Debra when you find yourself in career transition. Lana Hamilton

Travis Jones and his team provide a personal touch in career transition assistance. They provided one on one, local assistance rather than a purely webinar type of impersonal solution. Their compassionate approach also minimized stress! We will definitely use him again if the opportunity arises.

Im so happy the company I worked for set us up to do this program. The coaches dont pull punches and they tell you exactly what you need to get back out there looking for a job. I received an AMAZING resume from Debra. I went in to my interviews with confidence. Everyone I worked with here was perfect. I cant say enough good things about this program.

After being laid off, I had the pleasure of engaging with CDP and would strongly recommend them for anyone in transition. Having been through a layoff previously, I thought I had a pretty good handle on how to job hunt, but they had some insights that I hadnt considered and helped me perfect my intro pitch as well as networking techniques.

CDP was an incredible experience for me. I had no idea the level of detail and effort a company could pour into a person to help them find the next opportunity. Charlotte and Joshua were key people in coaching me. From just dealing with change, all the way to tying the bow on an offer acceptance, the CDP team was there for me. They are skilled professionals with valuable nuggets of knowlege that will help you land that next job. I give them my highest recommendation.

The fine folks at Career Development Partners treated me like family. Ian’s Travis worked with me through the prep and responses to the interview s until I revived and eventually accepted an offer. I highly recommend Career Development Partners to any in a transition. It was well worthy time.. was so impressed that they took the time to get to know me and my situation. The program at Career Development Partners took me step-by-step through the process of identifying my strengths and weaknesses, and what I enjoyed most about and least about my many varied career experiences. Then I was able to narrow my search, and target my ideal next career move.

We have had a very positive experience with Career Development Partners over the last 12 years. They have provided three great employees for our company. I would highly recommend their services if you are in the need of well qualified applicants!

Career Development Partners is unmatched at supporting people in transition. Their service quality and care is apparent upon stepping through their door. They have the knowledge and experience to equip people with resources to move forward and upward in their careers. If you want the best, hire Career Development Partners.

Career Development Partners really takes the time to get to know you and your individual needs. It is much more than just a webinar; it provides a personalized touch much needed in this far too technical world.

Great and professional staff who will get you where you want and deserve to be.Win-win associates all over the US.!!

They did it again! CDP helped me a second time a decade later to land at a great place! The training and information they give really do help you make the best decisions for your career and life. They help you to evaluate what you bring to the table and not sell yourself short if an opportunity comes along offering you an amount lower than what youd set. They give you the skills and language to advocate for yourself in situations where it may be hard to say no, but you know you have to do it to honor yourself. Rick, thank you for wisdom and expertise! It really helped and paid off! Thank you for working your magic a second time around! CDP is the best outplacement service in Tulsa! Hands down!

Career Development Partners is a first class organization powered by a first class staff of professionals throughout. From the time you step in the door you know you’re in good hands. My past four years of success began with Career Development Partners. I will always appreciate the mission of this group in Tulsa, OK. To the staff members, I say keep doing the deep, great work you do to position others for ultimate success. What you do matters.

This is my first time in the job market in 20 years and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Rick and Travis. My dusty old resume looks better than ever and my LinkedIn profile is getting lots of attention. Im using all the tools at my disposal to find the right fit for me and thanks to them I have a lot of options. Elizabeth was very kind and took good care of our class. I highly recommend their program!

CDP was a fantastic resource for me when I was seeking new employment. Everyone that was a part of their out placement team was highly knowledgeable about current job searching, interviewing, and hiring practices and were able to convey their knowledge effectively. Most importantly, everyone at CDP was very friendly, open, and genuinely wished to help those that took part in their career sessions.

After a layoff, I worked with CDP to sharpen my job search skills and hone my resume. I thought Id get a new resume template, but they exceeded my expectations tenfold. They have phenomenal resources and coaching for every step of the job hunt process from online searching to negotiating the offer. Id highly recommend them for both job seekers and employers that find themselves in a position to be eliminating staff.

This team displays professionalism, is well connected and understands the market - while also being empathetic. Their staff is attentive and from top to bottom were caring and made sure everything you needed was complete. At the same time they were realistic in thinking through solutions with a good measure of accountability to ensure follow through. Overall a great help and a tremendous resource.

Career Development Partners was so valuable to me in navigating the job market recently. The sessions are well thought out, their coaches are always available, and everyone at CDP truly wants you to succeed. They give honest feedback and push you to be and achieve your best. Dr. Bill Young was such a great help to me, personally. He had a direct pulse on the job market and put me in touch with his network, which is the key to finding a job. I am so thankful for everyone at CDPs support. They helped me stay positive, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking or being forced to make a change.

After a short phone call about my goals, wants, and needs, Career Development Partners gave me the tips, guidance and help I needed to finally receive job offers after months of applying. I truly appreciate all of your help!

Career Development Partners will help bring out the best in yourself . They will show you, that you do have what it takes to move to the next level in your career . People at CDP care about your success . Each class aids in the moving forward process . Take full advantage if your given the chance to attend . God bless and stay well.

I cannot say THANK YOU enough for the people at CDP. They provide a wonderful service to not only help you where you are, they provide countless resources, training and guidance to help you with where youre going. Their teaching definitely equips you with whats needed for your career - theyre also very thorough and personable. My special thanks to the people who personally helped me: Charlotte Edmundson, Travis Jones, Rick Christensen and Elizabeth Dexheimer. Thanks! You are truly an answer to prayer!

I lost my job in April 2020 due to COVID-19. Thankfully my employer had partnered with Career Development Partners to help with transitioning. From the very start the staff of CDP was engaged, supportive, and positive. Their program is very interactive and effective. I am positive that their help with updating my resume got me noticed by my current employer. I was hired on only after two months after being let go. I cannot speak highly enough about CDP!

Our company was recently acquired and many of our employees are losing their jobs as a result. I was reluctant to attend CDP based on an assumption that it would be an impersonal outplacement service offering minimal value. What so many of us at our company found, including myself, was just the opposite. Their coach-led program provides valuable insights and practical steps to help you not only with your immediate job search but also with your career planning going forward. The entire staff is engaging, knowledgeable, and very helpful.

My experience with Career Development Partners was outstanding. I found the program to be well thought out and organized. The sessions were designed to guide me through the entire job search process and everything from identifying my career goals and personal skills to negotiating an offer was covered.My career counselor had an extensive background in Human Resources and was able to assist in resume writing, networking, leveraging social media and interviewing but the real differentiator was their commitment to work with me until I found the right job.CDP was interested in more than just giving me an updated resume or a booklet of potential interview questions, instead they wanted to help me find the right job that would match my skills, interests and career goals. I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone who is looking for their next opportunity.

Travis Jones and the CDP are fantastic to work with! Years ago when I was in a job transition, Travis helped me navigate the complexity of finding a new position and to find ways to develop the growth areas personally and professionally. I am forever grateful for his service and the impact in my life that CDP has made.

Career Development Partners provided exceptional guidance to me while I navigated the acquisition of my former employer. They provided meaningful face-to-face interaction and were always responsive to my questions. CDP was there every step of the way and Ill be able to apply the knowledge that they shared not only in my next job, but throughout my career.

The staff at Career Development Partners is top notch. I have worked in Human Resources for several years but learned a lot from the classes. You are taught everything from how to write the best resume, how to compose your exit statement, your 30 second commercial, how to write a networking profile and how to interview. You also learn about how to use social media to assist in your job hunting. This is all practical advice that a person can use to land a job. Career Partners also has networking opportunities to connect with employers. Highly recommend.

These people will work hard for you. Debra was easy to work with and took the time to understand my situation. Great company.

Career Development Partners was a huge blessing to me as I searched for a new position as a result of a layoff. I found their personal coaching and other resources invaluable, especially when writing my resume. I would highly recommend them!

Amazing team of professionals with immense compassion and empathy for those individuals who have been impacted by a RIF. In no way, could I place a dollar amount on the level of support I received in this program, from both the incredible team and the resources they offer. My experience was invaluable, and I highly recommend their services, should you find yourself in a situation to need career transition services for your employees or yourself.

Wonderful company. They stay with you from start to finish. Everyone is compassionate and truly care about you as a person and your career. They helped me with every part of preparing for, finding and obtaining a job. Not just any job but the best job for me.

Great people. They care about you and what you have gone through. They have all experienced job loss, so they understand how you feel. They help you get back out there and search for your dream job.

Transitioning to a new career has to rank in the top 5 most stressful events in a persons life. Career Development Partners makes the process so much easier with their compassionate career consulting. What a great group of professionals.

As a seasoned professional, I felt I had a very solid and proven process. However, I would recommend Career Development Partners to anyone going through a Career Transition. They adjust to all levels of needs. Their resources and people are awesome.

CDP provides an incredibly helpful service for anyone looking for a job. From resume building, networking, interviewing, and negotiating, they stick with you the whole way. The staff is extremely supportive and they really care. Highly recommended for anyone in the middle of a career transition.Thank you for all of your help, Debra!!!

The staff at CDP is very impressive. They are extremely connected in Tulsa and the surrounding area. I was introduced to numerous hiring managers and other professionals that have been through the program. CDP provided great advice and in an easy to follow program. My personal coach was Bill Young. Bill made himself available at any time to talk and provide guidance through this journey. I am thankful I met Bill, Travis, and the rest of the CDP team and I highly recommend others to participate in their program.

Career Development Partners is a joy to work with. They are supportive, helpful and truly care about your needs during your transition. They go above and beyond all expectations to help you with your search.

The staff at CDP are the best! They helped me regain my confidence and self-esteem (being laid off after 38 years with the same company is a gut-punch!). I will always be grateful for CDP - I highly recommend anyone to take advantage of their program.

Our company was recently purchased and we were offered the services of CDP as part of our severance package. Not knowing what to expect, folks were unsure what exactly CDP would do them and whether it would amount to much. It didn’t take long for the first few folks to attend the orientation for the value of CDP’s program to start to spread throughout the company. While very knowledgeable about the employment process from resume review through networking and interviewing I believe what is shown more at CDP is that they really care about the people they work with. It is clearly a cornerstone of their company. Highly recommend connecting with the folks at Career Development Partners to further your career.

This is a tremendous program!The staff is very resourceful and very helpful and wayyy better than a private career coach.I definitely recommend you connect with Career Development Partners today!

Im so thankful for the professionalism of CDP staff. They are very accommodating during my career transition.Thank you CDP Tulsa!

Very professional group consistently doing their best for others.

Great experience.. A refresher for job interviews and just to upgrade your presentation..

Highly recommended! Very helpful with job transitioning.

Great team! Great experience!

An outstanding group of professionals that look out for the best interest of the companies they serve, and the job seekers they serve, as well. Connect with them today!

Travis is an amazing Manager and person I respect in this Industry. I always recommend his company.
