After my interview session, I was offered a full-time job! Thank you Sabrina for all of your support, advice, and tips! The panel interviewers mentioned that they really appreciated my detailed answers. The manager said to me that when I was interviewed, they knew that I was the right fit! I’m so happy to be in this healthy workplace and so relieved to be in a positive direction again and to be valued for my work. Thank you!
Alison, Ace the Interview Client
I had just quit a job I hated, and felt lost and unsure of my future. I'd heard about Sabrina's success stories and decided to book a first session. That decision was a game-changer. Sabrina took the time to get to know me, where I was at in my life, my past jobs, and where I wanted to move forward. I didn't know my career direction. Sabrina offered a variety of resources I'd have otherwise never had access to - labour market information, prospects for certain career paths in Ontario, and a couple of career aptitude tests. We went through the information, talked about what I was looking for in a job and in my life, and Sabrina helped to give me a better sense of what was out there and what I could achieve. Her specific knowledge of many industries gave me insights I would've never known. I gave it all more thought, with Sabrina's advice and perspective, and worked out a career plan that would require going back to school, but first getting a job in the mental health field. Sabrina gave me invaluable insight on strengthening my resume and cover letters. She gave me great coaching for job interviews, and the confidence I needed to succeed. And after receiving a number of interviews in my dream field, I received two job offers, one of which was my first choice! I'm now working in the role I wanted the most. I have Sabrina to thank for this, 100%. If you're wondering about your path, or whether or not another job might be right for you, book your first session with Sabrina and make your future happen. I can't recommend her services enough.
Scott, Career Coaching Client
I am so unbelievably grateful for the time Sabrina gave me when I was searching for a new career. As a Mom searching for my new passion and career, I was anxious and concerned to say the least. Sabrina helped organize my thoughts, direct me to new job avenues I never considered, worked within my daycare hours, and most importantly helped me find my confidence again. Finding a new career is challenging and daunting but Sabrina broke up the entire process into manageable sections. She has helped me develop new skills, helped perfect my resume and cover letter, and eased all my worries. She is kind, empathetic, and extremely knowledgeable. Working with Sabrina is like working with a best friend who will tell you the hard truths but only because she wants you to succeed and become your best self. If you are even just considering reaching out to Sand to Pearl Coaching, just do it. Even just a chat with Sabrina will brighten your day. Thank you for everything you do!

My experience with Sand to Pearl Coaching was nothing short of wonderful.

Mikayla, Ace the Interview Client
I have contracted Sabrina several times to facilitate self-care workshops for our Women's Entrepreneurship Hub (WE-Hub). She is very easy to work with and tailors the workshops based on the needs of our program participants. Sabrina has also facilitated food handling training for our WE-Hub and Newcomer Entrepreneurship Hub (NEH) participants and the overall success rate is consistently very high. I look forward to bringing her back for our future cohorts!
Manal, Ryerson University - Diversity Institute (Workshop Client)
It had been a long time since my last interview and Sabrina helped me navigate the new art of interviewing. I am grateful for Sabrina’s expertise as I now have a fabulous job in a respectful workplace.
Denise, Ace the Interview Client
This is the best news I have received all week!! [upon finding out that she passed her food handling test]
Seriously ... I could not have achieved this without the wonderful Sabrina who was absolutely amazing! I learned so much from her. A lot of what she taught during the session has remained with me to the point where it has impacted me on a daily basis: how I shop for food and prepare meals!
It just goes to show you that working in the food industry is not an easy task. It is a huge responsibility.
Angela, Food Safety Training Participant
My time working with Sabrina has been incredible! She truly cares about people and genuinely wants to see them succeed. She took the time to get to know me and my goals in order to help me in a way that was personal and professional. She is extremely knowledgeable, funny, and easy to talk to. I have never been more comfortable in writing resumes and cover letters and I am now able to confidently walk into an interview knowing exactly what I bring to the table.
I would recommend Sabrina to anyone needing help. You will not regret it!
Olivia, Career Coaching Client
We've had the pleasure of having Sabrina join our entrepreneurship programs on multiple occasions to teach topics of self-care and food safety. Her professional experience, educational background, and cheerful personality always make her sessions a highlight of the course. Our participants are always excited to have Sabrina come back to teach more.
Nora, Scadding Court Community Centre (Workshop Client)
I’ve had a terrific experience with Sand to Pearl Coaching. Sabrina helped me touch up and improve my LinkedIn, making it more professional and appealing to employers. She demonstrated to me what the proper structure and content of a cover letter was that communicated the most important information to employers effectively and concisely, and helped me construct a resume that immediately highlights my qualifications and skills. Sand to Pearl also prepared me for my interviews, providing great feedback so I could answer the interviewer’s questions confidently and provide the information they’re looking for. As a direct result, I was able to get a phone interview, a second interview, and a full-time permanent offer of employment for the first position I applied to! It was all the better that the position is in a field that I just finished studying for and is otherwise new to me. My only problem now is declining interviews from employers responding to my later applications. Thank you for helping me start my new career as a Paralegal!
Kirk, All-Star Bundle & Ace the Interview Client
My experience with Sabrina has been great. She provided great support right from the beginning. I can say that with her tools and feedback, I felt confident for the first time ever in writing a cover letter. She did really well with breaking things down and explaining what employers look at on resumes.
Brittany, Career Coaching Client
It was the best experience ever. I found out for the first time about applicant tracking systems: how a computer can scan for key words. I learned what is important in a resume and cover letter according to your career and that you can create different resumes and cover letters for different jobs you apply for. Sabrina, you are very approachable, relaxed, easy to talk to, and you have an understanding nature. You gave me your full attention, you didn't rush at all, you built a rapport with me, and you really were devoted and gave that personal touch that made me feel special and important. I felt so blessed. May God always shower you with his love and blessings.
Mithu, Application Transformation Client
I was thoroughly impressed with my experience using Sand to Pearl Coaching's services. Sabrina helped me present my resume and create cover letters in a unique way that targeted the company's needs. This led to multiple job interviews for my Co-op experience and I was accepted for a well paying position in the automotive sector which provided lots of opportunities for my career growth. I would not have been able to get such a desired position without her services.
Tyler, Application Transformation Client
Sabrina has given me hope and encouraged me to see the best in myself. She demonstrated to me the importance of following my own path which led me to complete college, get a job, and launch my career.

I met Sabrina through work where she took the time patiently to train me while taking on a new position. Her passion, patience and knowledge shines through when she talks to you. She listens and pays attention while also offering the support you need to achieve your goals. She is the best of the best and I highly recommend her. Even if it’s just a resume consult you will see the difference. Take the time to connect with her if you need to reach your goal. Thank you for all you did and I will always be grateful.

One of Sabrina's greatest qualities is giving you the confidence to believe in yourself. She is personable, knowledgeable and has her pulse on today's business environment. Sabrina was invaluable in helping me update my resume and her mock interview coaching will help reduce your stress and thoroughly prepare your meeting.
Peter, Application Transformation & Ace the Interview Client
Sabrina helped me update my LinkedIn profile by sitting down with me and reviewing each component step-by-step. I appreciated her patience and willingness to advise me on the do's and don't's of what a strong LinkedIn profile should look like; I didn't realize how much information I could have added until she helped me.
I absolutely loved working alongside Sabrina and I look forward to the next opportunity of strengthening my skills and job search abilities with her support.
