Who I Work With

Why this matters: Graduating into today's job market is brutal. A strong GPA or one internship isn't enough anymore. You need a professional story that makes sense, a digital presence that doesn't scream "I made this LinkedIn because someone told me to," and an actual strategy for landing your first role. Not just mass-applying and hoping.

Most career centers help you format a résumé. Few teach you how to think, communicate, and present yourself like an emerging professional who knows what they're doing.

Here's what we build together:

• A professional story that's clear, confident, and doesn't sound rehearsed

• A résumé and LinkedIn that stand out instead of blending into the pile

• A smart plan for internships, networking, and early job searches that isn't just "apply to 100 jobs and pray"

• The ability to talk about your strengths in interviews without sounding like a robot or like you're making it up

• A 30–90 day roadmap to build real momentum before you graduate

Why this matters: You've done internships, joined clubs, maintained your GPA. But now you're staring at job postings that all require "2-3 years of experience" and you're wondering how to stand out when you're competing against hundreds of other new grads with similar résumés.

The truth? Getting hired isn't about being the most qualified. It's about knowing how to position yourself.

Here's what we work on:

• Translating your internships, coursework, and side projects into a story that hiring managers actually care about

• Writing a résumé and cover letter that get you past the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and into an actual human's inbox

• Preparing for behavioral interviews so you don't blank when they ask "tell me about a time when..."

• Building a targeted job search strategy: which companies to apply to, how to find referrals, and how to follow up without being annoying

• Practicing your pitch so you sound confident, not desperate

What you get: The tools and confidence to apply, interview, and land offers. Not just send your résumé into the void and hope.

Why this matters: You've been told to "follow your passion" but no one taught you how to translate "I like writing" or "I'm good with people" into an actual career path. If you're a liberal arts major, you've probably heard "what are you going to do with that?" more times than you can count.

Without clarity, you freeze. You fear making the "wrong" choice more than making no choice at all. So you end up stuck, overwhelmed, or applying to random jobs that don't excite you because you don't know what else to do.

Here's what we figure out together:

• Your actual strengths, interests, values, and how you naturally like to work (not what you think you "should" want)

• Industries and roles that align with who you are. Not who your parents think you should be or what sounds impressive.

• 2–3 viable directions with clear reasoning, real job titles, and next steps you can actually take

• How to test a path without committing to it forever (spoiler: your first job is not a life sentence)

• How to replace anxiety and analysis paralysis with clarity and confidence

What you get: Permission to explore. A roadmap. And the confidence to take a step without feeling like you're gambling your entire future.

Why this matters: Leaving college feels like losing all structure. Suddenly no one is telling you what to do, and the advice you get is useless: "just network" or "apply to more jobs." But you don't know what to apply to, how to stand out, or who to network with.

Maybe you took a job because you needed one, and now you hate it. Maybe you've been applying for months with no results. Maybe you graduated a year ago and still feel like you're treading water.

Feeling directionless isn't lack of ambition. It's lack of guidance.

Here's what we work on:

• Defining a career direction grounded in your actual strengths, interests, and market reality (not fantasy or what sounds good on paper)

• Building a professional story that makes sense of your experiences so far, even if they feel random or "not impressive enough"

• Creating a tailored job search strategy that feels manageable, not like screaming into the void

• Developing the communication and interview skills that actually open doors (because "just be yourself" is terrible advice)

• Establishing weekly structure and accountability so you build momentum instead of spiraling

What you get: A plan. Traction. And the confidence to move forward instead of staying stuck.

Why this matters: You've been working for 1–3 years and realized: this isn't it. Maybe the industry is soul-crushing. Maybe the role doesn't use your strengths. Maybe you're good at your job but miserable doing it.

But you have no idea how to pivot without "starting over," taking a pay cut, or explaining to everyone (including yourself) why you're "giving up" on what you studied or trained for.

Here's the truth: pivoting isn't starting over. It's redirecting.

Here's what we figure out:

• What you actually want to move toward, not just what you want to escape

• Which of your current skills, experiences, and strengths are transferable (more than you think)

• How to position a pivot in a way that makes sense to hiring managers (because "I hated my last job" is not a good interview answer)

• How to explore new industries or roles while still employed, without burning bridges or tanking your income

• How to build a new professional narrative that connects the dots between where you've been and where you're going

What you get: A strategy to pivot with intention, not desperation. And the confidence to make a move that aligns with who you actually are.
