Michaela Kettner Reviews 12

I can strongly recommend this coaching to anyone who needs sparring in job applications and CVs and interviews. With the help from Michaela I modernized my CV, got an invitation to an interview and got plenty of valuable tips for the process. Michaela is very supportive and has helped me a lot. Thank you!

Ich habe Michaela kontaktiert um mich auf zwei konkrete Bewerbungsgespräche vorzubereiten. Dazu haben wir ein simuliertes Bewerbungsgespräch geführt und anschließend ein Feeedbackgespräch dazu mit konkreter Ausrichtung auf die anstehenden Gespräche.
Michaela hat im Vorfeld Informationen zu mir und den anstehenden Bewerbungen eingefordert und war dann sehr gut vorbereitet.
Nach der Feedbackrunde hatte ich gute Anhaltspunkte zur Optimierung meines Pitche, eine klare Struktur und Checkliste für die Informationen die ich rüberbringen wollte, und hilfreiche Formulierungshilfen für die sensibleren Punkte meines Lebenslaufs.
Das hat mir geholfen die Gespräche aus einer entspannten, positiven Grundhaltung heraus zu führen und mich so im bestmöglichen Licht darszustellen. Ergebnis bisher: ich bin eine Runde weiter.
Ich kannte Michaela vorher schon aus ihrem Job Application Bootcamp, und auch das kann ich sehr empfehlen.

Ich habe im Juni 2025 mit Michaela Kettner an meinem Lebenslauf gearbeitet. Zumindest dachte ich das.

Statt reiner „Kosmetik“ hat sie sehr schnell den eigentlichen Kern angesprochen: die Frage, welches Problem ich wirklich löse. Das war im ersten Moment unbequem, aber genau das, was ich gebraucht habe.

Michaela arbeitet klar, direkt und mit spürbarer Erfahrung. Keine Umwege, kein Blabla – dafür Substanz.

Für mich war das eine sehr wertvolle Zusammenarbeit mit nachhaltiger Wirkung. Ich würde jederzeit wieder mit ihr arbeiten.

Mikaela recently joined our event as a guest speaker to discuss a crucial topic: how mental well-being impacts the job search process and how to maintain stability during this transition.

The session was held online, and Mikaela’s delivery was exceptional. Her presentation was professional and insightful, but what truly stood out was the live coaching segment. Mikaela helped a participant navigate a personal situation in real-time, demonstrating incredible empathy and practical expertise. We concluded the meeting with an interactive Q&A session that provided further clarity for our audience.

The results speak for themselves:
- High Satisfaction: Participants rated the session 4.9 out of 5.
- Strong Engagement: I noticed that the vast majority of attendees stayed until the very end, which is a clear indicator of how relevant and engaging her content was.

I highly recommend Mikaela as a speaker for any organization looking to support their community’s mental health and career development. Her ability to combine professional advice with a human touch is truly impressive.

On December 2025 I had a 1:1 one hour session. While one hour is a short time, the session was focused and concise, and got great tips out of it to improve my CV and cover letter. For me, it was a great value for my money. I would definitely consider Michaela services again.

The consultation helped me see my skills and strengths from a completely new perspective. It gave me clarity on how to present my value in my CV — something I hadn’t been able to see on my own.

Michaela's LinkedIn masterclass provided great value for the money. She had top-level insights backed up by research, data and personal experience. Participants not only had a chance to absorb information, but also actively participate and engage with other participants. I highly recommend the class to anyone who wants to step up with the content creation on LinkedIn but hesitates and needs ideas how to do it naturally and effectively.

I had a 1:1 call with Michaela, we went through my CV and she gave me some tips, which I implemented. I've gotten more interviews since then.

She also gave me some tips regarding LinkedIn post, that I've been doing, but haven't seen much improvements there.

Hi Michaela,
Thank you again for the session. I want to share honest feedback so it can be helpful for future clients. Unfortunately, I did not feel I gained meaningful insights from the 1‑hour coaching, especially considering the €60 fee. I had shared my CV, background, and career situation in advance, but the session still felt unprepared, and at times it seemed unclear how to guide me as a client.
When I raised this during the call, you mentioned that one hour is not enough for coaching. My concern is that if one hour is not sufficient, it becomes unclear why this 1:1 one‑hour format is advertised so prominently. As a client, I expected a structured, confident, and value‑driven session within the time I paid for.
Overall, I felt the coach was not prepared ahead of time on how to coach my specific situation, despite having all the information beforehand. Kindly do not take this personally — my intention is simply to provide feedback that may help improve future sessions. I hope this feedback is useful, as preparation and clarity are essential for a positive coaching experience.
Thank you.

She's a good listener and this characterized my whole experience. Understanding the context of my whole situation was a must have.

At the same time, she kept challenging me and my beliefs / approaches, which helped a lot in becoming more adaptive in the hunt for jobs at a tight market as these days.

I really liked the opportunity to reach out to her in case any questions even outside of the sessions I had.

Ich habe im letzten Jahr ein Burnout erlitten und bei Michaela Hilfe gesucht, um mich beruflich neu zu orientieren and entsprechend zu bewerben. Michaelas Coaching hat alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Sie hat mir empathisch dabei geholfen, Vergangenes loszulassen, ohne meine Gefühle zu unterdrücken. In zielgerichteten Übungen haben wir zusammen meine Stärken und Ziele herausgearbeitet. Heute geht es mir wieder prima. Ich habe dank Michaela Kraft und Selbstbewusstsein geschöpft. Vollgepackt mit Michaelas mega Tips, hat die erste Bewerbung, die wir zusammen erarbeitet haben, direkt zu einer Einladung zum Gespräch geführt. Wahnsinn. DANKE, Michaela!

I had several coaching sessions with Michaela, mainly focused on improving my CV and LinkedIn profile. Her advice was practical, clear, and directly applicable.
She helped me better structure my professional experience, highlight my strengths, and communicate my value more effectively. After applying her recommendations, I noticed a clear improvement in how my profile presents my background.
What I especially appreciated was her structured approach and honest feedback. She doesn’t give generic advice, but takes time to understand your situation and gives concrete suggestions you can immediately implement.
I would definitely recommend her to professionals who want to strengthen their personal branding and career positioning.
