My Approach
I combine coaching and advising to offer comprehensive support.
For example, in addition to helping you with your job search strategy, I can help you clarify what you’re looking for, feel more confident in your goals and decisions, and submit higher-quality applications.
I also help you address any concerns, frustrations, or obstacles you encounter along the way.
This hybrid approach allows me to help with all aspects of your job search in a holistic and effective way.
Let’s Find a Good Fit
Below I describe three steps that will guide my work with you, customized depending on your particular needs.
This is followed by a description of my coaching package and two quicker options for getting started.
Identify Preferences & Goals
We'll look at your work history and life circumstances to better understand your past and current situations and how they can lead you in the direction of your preferences
You’ll come up with a “career vision” describing your ideal job that will help you clarify your goals and what motivates you, and will serve as your compass
You’ll look at your strengths and values with the option to learn even more about yourself with a career assessment.
By prioritizing this step, we can help ensure that during the rest of the process you will be looking for jobs that align with what you want, will be good at, and will enjoy
Research & Connect
You’ll articulate your story: the way you frame and describe your experience, strengths, unique qualities, interests, motivations, the value and contribution you bring to employers. This will help you connect during networking, job applications, and job interviews
You’ll investigate possible jobs or career paths and organizations through:
online research
connecting with people for advice and relationship building
when possible, testing your ideas by doing or observing parts of the jobs you’re interested in to see if you really like them.
This will make sure that the jobs that seem to match what you want really do, and that you can effectively communicate what you bring to the table.
Prepare Materials & Apply
We’ll refine your application materials to make sure you’re ready to present yourself in your best light.
You’ll begin applying to opportunities — both posted jobs and more proactive outreach.
We’ll prepare for interviewing and make sure you’re ready to negotiate an offer.
These steps will make you a stronger candidate, and by consistently comparing job possibilities to your strenghts, values and career vision, you’ll be ready to accept a job that is meaningful for you.
