Note from the founders

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined."
- Henry David Thoreau

In an ideal world, we would know the direction of our dreams and take that direction to the life we imagined.  But chances are, we need a little help figuring out the direction we need to go in.  At Washington Career Services, we start with self-assessment.  What do you like to do?  Where would you like to do it?  These are just two of the questions we ask in a series of formal and informal assessments we offer.  In working together we help you start to explore your possibilities and imagine your future!

We look forward to working with you.
Best of luck,
Melissa and Susanne

What our clients say

“Susanne Maurer, presenter of Washington Career Service's Road Back to Work workshop, visited our preschool. She was friendly, open, and very informative. The group of stay-at-home mothers who attended really benefited from the discussion; they left the workshop with direction and great ideas on where to begin the preparation for re-entering the business world.”
-Sarah Z., Fitness Industry

“Meeting with Melissa Fireman helped me develop my networking skills and sharpen my resume. Among many topics, we discussed the best way to answer difficult interview questions. Through conversations with Ms. Fireman, I felt prepared, comfortable, and on-point for my interview.”  
-Alec B., Federal Government
