I partner with an expert resume and LinkedIn profile writer to serve my clients’ unique needs, which can be especially valuable when you are seeking to make a career switch from one industry, sector, issue area, or role to another.

If you don’t already know what type of role you’re interested in, coaching can help you figure it out. If you do already know, working with a professional resume writer and LinkedIn writer can help you get more job interviews, and speed up your search.

Clients regularly report that having a resume and LinkedIn profile they feel good about, which effectively showcase the skills they want to use, is a huge confidence booster.

I work with clients all over the world, using phone calls, video calls, and online materials. The largest concentration of clients is located in the US.

I am based in Boston, MA. In some cases, in-person sessions may be arranged.

Our “Clarify My Direction” course could be just what you need.

In most cases, you don’t need to start over in an entry-level job.

Most people aren’t fully aware of their transferable skills – skills like managing projects, leading teams, building relationships, conducting research, writing, etc. Building this awareness is foundational for improving your focus regarding potential roles and organizations.

Through our work together, expect to increase your awareness of your skills and which ones you most want to use moving forward.

We may also identify some particular areas in which you’d like to grow, based on your interests and what is in demand for your target roles and/or industries.

Many of my clients are pleasantly surprised to discover that it’s not necessary to take a pay cut to do the work they want.

In fact, most of my clients achieve a substantial salary increase as part of their new overall compensation package. It is not uncommon for my clients to land pay increases of 20-30% and beyond, along with strong benefit packages.

Going back to school is a big investment. Working together can help you zoom out and increase your understanding of how this decision fits into the big picture of your career and life. Together, we also zoom in to focus on the details so you can develop a plan to help you make informed decisions and take intentional action.

Working with a coach can help you make decisions about how to use your time so you create the most value from your academic experience.
