“Lindsey Pollak is the best Gen Y speaker I’ve ever heard.”
– Sheila Curran, Former Executive Director, Duke University Career Center
“Truthfully, in all my 15 years at the college, where we had run the gamut of creative programming, I have never seen our students so engaged and receptive to good, sound career advice.”
– Carole Bieber, Former Associate Director of Career Counseling, Sarah Lawrence College
“Lindsey presents the right amount of career advice, peppered with humorous anecdotes and examples, that kept the students attentive (and taking notes!) for more than an hour after the end of a day of classes. I don’t know many professionals who could claim that achievement. Lindsey received rave reviews from all of the students who attended, as well as our Vice President, who wrote an email saying it was one of the best student events she attends.”
– Susan Eisman, Career Counselor, Manhattanville College
“Lindsey was a big hit with Bradley University students. She has a very engaging speaking style and manages to keep the full attention of the audience. Lindsey is able to convey job search tips in a way that appeals to today’s students and motivates them to take action immediately. Her presentation was so well received by students and career center staff that we booked her for a return visit to kick-off the fall 2009 semester.”
– Jane Linnenburger, Executive Director, Smith Career Center, Bradley University
“Though I was confident from my first interaction with Lindsey that she would be a dynamic, energetic and knowledgeable speaker, I could never have imagined how positively our students would respond to her presentation. Her vast knowledge about the professional world, use of pertinent (and often amusing) real-world examples, inclusion of stories from her many interactions with recruiters in a variety of industries, and excellent understanding of this generation of students made her tips and suggestions seem relevant and do-able to all of our students!”
– Rachel Greenberg, Assistant Director, Freshman/Alumni Summer Internship Program, MIT

– Ingrid Tineo, Assistant Director, Career Development Center, Baruch College
“Not only did Lindsey reinforce what we tell our students, but it was apparent from watching the whole room scribble notes furiously that hearing it from Lindsey made it ‘real.’ It also didn’t hurt that she told them all to make sure they come and see us! Thank you, Lindsey, for making our job a little easier.”
– Rick DelVecchio, Director of Career Placement, Sacred Heart University
