Karen had worked with two coaches before me and had nothing to show for it. Once she started putting my advice into practice, things changed quickly: she began securing interviews and received two job offers.
Job search coaching from a former recruiter.
People who are good at their jobs rarely have to look for a new one. So when it's time to move, the job search itself feels unfamiliar.
Job search coaching gives you the skills and a proven system, so you spend far less time searching.
The same methods I used as a recruiter to help people land jobs.

Who job search coaching is for.
Anyone who wants to change jobs or change careers. Career level doesn't matter: I work with people early in their careers, mid-career professionals and senior leaders.
Many of my clients are executives who have held leadership roles for years and simply haven't had to job search in a long time. Working with a coach saves them months of trial and error, or of waiting on recruiters. For director, VP and C-suite moves, see my executive career coaching.
The biggest mistake: following the wrong advice.
The most common mistake I see is chasing quick hacks. A creator on LinkedIn, YouTube or Instagram promises a trick that will land you loads of interviews. But they're not a coach. It might work once or twice, but it isn't consistent, and you lose time you can't get back.
There's so much job search advice out there that it's hard to know who is credible. My methods are the ones I used as a recruiter to help people land jobs.
Why I don't tell you to "beat the ATS".
Most advice says to optimize your resume for applicant tracking systems. I disagree. The best way to beat the ATS is to avoid it.
Even a well-formatted resume sent through an online portal sits in a pile of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of others. Instead, learn to find the people who can actually hire you: not recruiters, but the directors, VPs and C-level executives who have the budget and authority. Then position yourself with them using your resume, your LinkedIn and your outreach together.
Results from clients who changed their approach.
Colm had been searching for months with only one or two interviews. We worked on his executive positioning and outreach, and he secured a role. Because he kept up the visibility he'd built, recruiters then approached him with an opportunity that came with a 20% pay rise and a step up in level. He called it an opportunity he simply couldn't pass up.
Two ways to work with me.
Both use the same system: the proven, straightforward methods I used as a recruiter. Now I teach them to you, so you can use them as leverage for a higher salary.

Job search coaching FAQs.
What does a job search coach do?
A job search coach teaches you the skills of job searching: your resume, LinkedIn, reaching hiring managers, interviewing and negotiation. Together they form one system, so you spend less time searching.
Is a job search coach worth it if I haven't looked for a job in years?
Yes. That's who I work with most. People who are good at their jobs rarely need to job search, so the skills get rusty. A coach saves you months of trial and error.
Should I optimize my resume for the ATS?
I'd rather you avoided the ATS altogether. A resume sent through an online portal joins a pile of hundreds of others. Reaching the hiring manager directly works far better.
What's the difference between Job Search Unlocked and the Career Growth Accelerator?
The system is the same. Job Search Unlocked is self-paced, with Lucy AI for feedback. The Career Growth Accelerator adds 2 live group coaching calls a week with me, which is why clients there tend to see results faster.
Do you only work with executives?
No. Career level doesn't matter. I work with anyone who wants to change jobs or careers, from early-career professionals to senior leaders.
