Hernando VegaDebbie is a role model for me as she embodies all the qualities a career professional should demonstrate, including: care, passion, attentiveness, problem solving, and creativity. I have experienced Debbie’s professional and engaging character in both one-on-one and group settings, and have seen the trust and hope she engenders in clients and colleagues. I feel privileged to know and work with her.
Eric PyeDebbie Mastel is amazing. When I was in search mode, a consultant suggested I call her up for coffee… I was hesitant, as she has a steady stream of job seekers tapping her for information on careers. I can say, I am glad I did follow up, she was sincerely engaging, considerate of me in my job search, she has a vast network, and is very well known in the labour market in Calgary. If you haven’t reached out to her, I recommend you do so.
