My experience with Chandra was excellent!! I decided to work with Chandra because she is inspirational and genuine in assisting clients with successfully identifying their career goals and options. Chandra has a unique style, skillset, and insight to help identify strengths, weaknesses, and hidden talents. She also provides an outside perspective on choosing fulfilling roles and avoiding roles that are counterproductive. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering career changes and options.

I came to Chandra’s Facebook group, Career Changers, at my sister’s recommendation. I am so glad I decided to join. In the short time, I have been with the group, Chandra and other members have helped me develop the courage to return to school to complete my Associate’s Degree after more than 30 years. I graduated in 2021! I now realize that the only way to make changes in my life is to create a plan and take actual steps. It has been a long time since I have been this excited about my life and the direction I am going. Thank you, Chandra and Career Changers.

My experience with Chandra was extremely enlightening and successful! I decided to work with Chandra, at first, because she and I were classmates in high school. Then she worked her magic - offering helpful suggestions for making my home-based business successful, teaching me the basics of accepting credit cards, as well as private conversations to encourage me. Chandra helped me stay focused and taught me how to create a vision board. Some of the items on my vision board have already manifested in my life! Working with Chandra is a blessing and a joy. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to make positive changes in their careers, building their own business, and even looking to change careers and find their passion. Thank you for all you have done for me, Chandra!

My experience with Chandra was beyond marvelous. She was very accommodating and extremely patient which helped me as a person with hearing loss. I came across Chandra’s Facebook page as I was contemplating getting out of a job that I absolutely deplored. I was miserable and unhappy. I felt stuck and did not know what to do. I needed coaching but didn’t really know in what capacity.
Chandra encouraged me to think about what I truly wanted and really needed and what I expected to get out of this process in its entirety. Once I managed to do that, she was able to guide and coach me into achieving those things. I shudder to think where I might be today if I had not given her a chance- but I’m glad to be where I am today because I accepted her assistance and coaching!
The most important thing that I learned through this journey with Chandra is that an employer will watch you deteriorate and replace you when you are burned out. It happened to me. You have to take charge over your own employment opportunities and make a choice to get up daily and go to a place that pays and actually feel fulfilled. Peace has no price tag- and as Chandra says, “You are not a coupon!”

Chandra and I worked together at Purdue University Calumet, and closely during our annual Working Smarter in Tough Times event. Chandra always gave a very insightful, informative, and interesting presentation on how to find what types of positions would be your best fit. I received all the survey forms after these events, and Chandra always got high marks and a lot of “thank you for opening my eyes to my real skills” type of comments.

Even since she left Purdue, we have kept in contact and since my own job loss has been extremely helpful and always gives the best advice.
— Karen H of Hammond, Indiana
It’s been 10 years since I had to interview for a job so searching for a job and interviewing was daunting. I found Chandra’s mock interview session invaluable. I listen to it before my interviews to get me focused on typical questions and also on how I can improve my responses. I found the private FB group has helped me emotionally. Having a career change can be stressful and it was nice to collaborate with others and know you are not alone. I would recommend Chandra’s services to anyone who needs to sort out what’s not working in their life and is on the brink of making that next career step.
— Genna of Arizona
My experience with Chandra was wonderful. I decided to trust Chandra when she understood what I was searching for. She helped me understand that there are other possibilities out there with my interest and job skills. Working with her help me understand that I can do about anything I want to do with guidance and support. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to find guidance in helping them find the right job for themselves.

Chandra and I worked and collaborated on youth development initiatives while she was Associate Director, Career Services at Purdue University Calumet. She could always be counted on when I needed expert information and resources on employment trends and job readiness services for our targeted population of first generation and low income students. Chandra is a professional in the truest sense and takes a very spirited approach to her duties.
— Melvyn H of Memphis, Tennessee
After spending tons of money for my MBA and then becoming an entrepreneur, I decided to work with Chandra to make sure I made a logical career choice. Chandra helped me confirm that working with others, building systems, and running a business is the “right” career choice for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is second-guessing their career choice or who needs guidance on where to start in choosing a career path. Chandra wholeheartedly wants you to succeed and has the background to do so.

I decided to work with Chandra because I read and heard from others about her career coaching experience. Working with Chandra was something I would definitely suggest to others.

— LD of Highland, Indiana
I reached out to Chandra to help me find a career that will be life long and something I love doing vs. settling for any job. I have been struggling with where I could best use my skills.
Chandra is very educated and took all the time I needed with her to discuss my situation. I never felt rushed talking to her.
She is a very positive, inspirational woman.
She suggested I take the Myer Briggs personality test. It was the best suggestion. I learned a lot about myself. She went through each section of the test with me and explained what all the results meant about myself.
I highly recommend Chandra and will definitely stay in touch with her and continue coaching as I need it.
Give her a try. You will not be disappointed.
— Susan P of Dundee, Michigan
Chandra was immediately helpful by asking thought-provoking questions and listening intently. I would highly recommend her if you are stuck on your career path, need clarification in your work life, or are just in need of a motivational coach.
— Jill V. MA, LMFT of Green Bay, Wisconsin
Ms. Chandra and I met through my late mother Lorraine. Over the years my mother used to share with me about her “close friend” Ms. Chandra Gary & how much of a pure delight it was to have her in her inner circle of friends. I also recalled my late mother telling me that Ms. Chandra was a career coach, so when I decided to look into hiring a career coach for myself, I reached out to Ms. Chandra for assistance/support.
I am so glad I did, she instantly made me feel comfortable like two old friends just having a conversation. Ms. Chandra was always friendly, professional, and polite but most of all “100% attentive” to my needs within my inquiry. I have full faith in Ms. Chandra that she will deliver on the services provided & is definitely a breath of fresh air.
— Darrell F of Des Plaines, Illinois
My experience with Chandra was great. I felt very comfortable talking to her, I think she asked all the right questions, and I felt seen. After talking to her, it gave me perspective and a better sense of direction of where to go next with my life. I really appreciated her thoughtful advice and didn’t feel pressured to buy anything. I’m definitely looking forward to working with her to help me achieve my career goals. I would highly recommend her to my friends!
— Michel of Orlando, Florida
I have worked with Chandra twice now when evaluating job opportunities. She asks some really thought-provoking questions that allow you to think about the situation from a different perspective. Her thoughtful advice is very much appreciated.
— KMC of Dyer, Indiana
Loved my phone conference experience with Chandra. She is full of wisdom & understanding. Her desire to help you find your path or plan your future steps is wonderful. It was a very helpful experience & would greatly recommend contacting her.
— Sarah B of Texas
I attended one of Chandra’s webinars, which enabled me to connect with her for a 30 min phone conversation about my professional plans. She provided me with practical next steps and easy-to-follow directions to resolve the issues at hand. She is interested in her clients and she listens. Her advice has and will continue to serve me well. I would recommend anyone to take part in any professional events or meetings that Chandra offers.
— Gaelle G of Massachusetts
Chandra has so much wisdom and gives over and above to help others succeed. Chandra has helped me overcome areas of setback due to fear and inexperience that caused me to not be able to move forward.
Her calm guidance and ability to teach really helped me face and conquer the things that were holding me back. Thank you, Chandra, for all you give to help others obtain their goals and pursue their purpose.
— Jill A of Michigan
No matter the level you are in your career, it’s always a good thing to talk to someone, who you can trust, when you’ve reached a challenge along your journey. I am a strong believer in the power of coaching...especially when you have an amazing coach! Chandra has helped me work through whether or not to accept a job offer. She coached me through my job search process when I had some conflicting factors to consider. I decided to work with Chandra because of her unwavering devotion to helping others find their happy place within their careers. I strongly recommend Solutions by Chandra, LLC to anyone seeking career guidance and satisfaction.
— Dr. O of Hammond, Indiana
My experience working with Chandra Gary was superb. It all started with a 30-minute phone call that led to a major change in my career… I felt confident in making the decision to try her free 30-minute session and hope you will do the same. I feel alive for the first time in years in my career quest. I continue to work with Ms. Gary because of her care, professionalism, and expertise in the field. I highly recommend Chandra Gary to family, friends, and anyone seeking answers that feel stagnated in their career.
