TESTIMONIALS (** Under Construction ** - Coming soon)
Jaret was incredibly helpful for me in finding my first industry position. I jumped into job searching but wasn't very successful and then based on a friend’s recommendation, I contacted Jaret asking if he could mentor me in building a path to an entry-level position. Jaret was quick to respond and very willing to help. I didn’t have much experience to show, so having a strong mindset and direction to follow was key. Jaret helped me with this and also provided the mental guidance I needed to stay on track for my goals. Based on Jaret’s advice I spent the optimal time each day applying for jobs, practicing for interviews and optimizing my profile (Resume, cover letter, LinkedIn and Github). This all helped immensely since a week after I began following this advice with my new profile, I got a great offer! I would most definitely recommend Jaret for anyone who is unfamiliar with how to enter the workforce with no relevant experience.

I recently moved to Canada from India to pursue a post-graduation in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. Even though I had 7 years of IT experience, I was struggling to break into the data science field. I met Jaret at one of the conferences and connected with him through LinkedIn. I requested him to mentor me to get Canadian experience in Data Science. He helped me to organize my goals, provided tips for my interviews, advised me how to get meaningful connections, reviewed my resume & Cover letter, and worked with me on a natural language processing project under his guidance. Under his mentorship, I was able to apply for openings not just by job posting but also by reaching out to people, which helped me land a data science freelancing job, a 2022 data engineer internship and a 2023 full-time position at Deloitte. For someone who is new to the job search, guidance is required. Almost everyone is equally capable, but we do not know where to concentrate our energy to get better outcomes. I achieved this under Jaret's guidance.

I joined DataShip when I needed clarification about transitioning to become a Data Scientist. I recently finished a boot camp, but I was still lost and had ZERO confidence about this transition. I have found Jaret to be patient, thoughtful, and kind during this process. His methods focus on not just building the career but also having a healthy mindset and perspective-I have learned so much in a short time. I'm impressed with how organized he is, the level of detail, and the number of resources provided through his program. I highly recommend this mentorship program to anyone looking to grow within the industry. I'm very thankful for this process.
5 out of 5 stars
I needed help developing a confident mindset and concrete action steps for my post-graduation job search. Jaret's insights, guidance, and unwavering encouragement helped me develop the mindset and game plan I was looking for. Today, I feel much more confident in self-promoting my skills, abilities, and experience. I also have a concrete habit and general development roadmap to get me to my new position. I would recommend Jaret to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable mentor and a steadfast advocate.
