Description

Gain clarity before you start your search. One of the biggest mistakes job seekers make is rushing into a search before they have a clear strategy. They update their résumé, begin submitting applications, and hope the right opportunity appears. Unfortunately, that approach often leads to frustration, wasted effort, and missed opportunities. The Career Compass package is designed for professionals who want to take a thoughtful, strategic approach before launching—or relaunching—their job search. Whether you're considering a career change, recovering from a layoff, returning to the workforce, pursuing a promotion, or simply unsure what your next move should be, we'll work together to build a roadmap tailored to your experience, strengths, and long-term goals. During our coaching sessions, we'll explore topics such as: Clarifying your career goals and defining what success looks like Identifying your strengths, transferable skills, and unique value proposition Evaluating potential career paths, industries, and target roles Developing a focused job search strategy rather than relying on mass applications Building a targeted networking approach that creates meaningful professional connections Identifying potential skill gaps and discussing practical ways to strengthen your marketability Creating a personalized action plan with clear next steps and accountability By the conclusion of this package, you'll have more than a list of jobs to pursue—you'll have a clear strategy for pursuing the right opportunities with confidence and purpose.

Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

My coaching combines two things: deep recruiting experience and a highly intuitive, people-first approach. After interviewing and evaluating thousands of candidates across industries and levels, I bring a clear understanding of how hiring decisions are actually made—and what helps strong candidates stand out. Just as importantly, I help clients get clarity on themselves. Through structured questioning, active listening, and honest feedback, I help surface strengths, motivations, and patterns that are often hard to self-identify. From there, I translate that clarity into practical, real-world guidance grounded in how hiring actually works. At its core, my coaching is about turning insight into action and helping you present the strongest, most authentic version of yourself.

Expert Recruiter & TA Leader with insights from the other side of the desk

Over the past twenty years, I've helped organizations hire thousands of professionals across virtually every corporate function—from recent graduates to senior executives. As a Talent Acquisition leader for global professional services organizations, I've spent my career evaluating candidates, advising hiring managers, leading recruiting teams, and making hiring decisions that shape organizations. That experience gives me a perspective most career coaches simply can't offer. I understand how hiring decisions are really made, what recruiters and hiring managers are looking for, why strong candidates sometimes fall short, and how to position yourself effectively in an increasingly competitive market. My coaching is practical, personalized, and rooted in real-world recruiting experience—not generic career advice. My goal isn't to help you become someone else—it's to help you discover, articulate, and communicate the best version of yourself. Whether you're pursuing your first professional opportunity, navigating a layoff, seeking a promotion, or making a major career pivot, I bring both the recruiter's perspective and the candidate's experience to every coaching conversation. Together, we'll build a strategy that helps you stand out for the right reasons and position yourself for long-term career success.
