Career transitions are challenging
Managing career transitions can feel like giant waves are crashing on you. No matter how hard you paddle, you get stuck in the same place.
Do you feel stuck in a job that no longer gives you a sense of purpose? You are probably experiencing burnout. Taking that first step toward change is intimidating. You want to make sure that the next job offers fulfillment and high compensation. I can guide you through the self-exploration process to help you find careers, people and work environments that are a great fit.
Are your job applications getting rejected? If you have a career goal and need a job, the process of combing through job search web sites and deciding what to put on a resume is overwhelming. I will help you develop your personal brand. You will develop the language to tell your career story so that hiring managers will understand that you are the perfect person for the job.
