What is Career Coaching?
Â
Career coaching is a professional service that helps you to clarify your goals, develop strategies to achieve them, and navigate the emotions that come up during professional transition. In my career coaching approach, you can expect:
- Intentional Conversation: Focused questions and discussion to help you identify your career blind spots, strengths, and challenges. 🗣️
- Application (aka homework): Action steps to practice what you learned in the real world. 🌎
- Practical Resources: Examples, templates, guides, lists... everything you need to *do* the job search! 📑
 My custom job searching framework has helped my private clients and graduate students find the roles they’re looking for, without all the stress and agony of hitting “Easy Apply” 100 times and seeing rejection emails pile up in your inbox. Ugh! No one wants that experience, which is why I love doing this work.
Career coaching is not about quick fixes, job search “hacks”, or putting a Band-Aid on the problems you’ve experienced in your career. I’m here alongside you as you learn the important skill of navigating a job search!
Here are example career coaching topics I can help you with:
