Career Coaching Services
Are you ready for the next step in your career? Career coaching can help.
I help clients imagine new career possibilities and create plans to take action. Skills, values, interests and personality all can be a factor. I use time-tested assessments like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Strong Interest Inventory, as well as Skillscan card sorts to help clients with self-exploration.
I listen closely and offer support when you’re under stress and provide an unbiased space for you to talk about your career options. Most importantly, I can provide you context for your problems. I’ve been doing this work for nearly 10 years, and I can help you find perspective when you’re stuck.
I’m located at St. John’s Station, 3355 St. John’s Lane, Ellicott City, Maryland.

- Between-session email support, for those times when you’re panicked and need some help ASAP.

Job Hunting Help
Mock Interviews
Need help preparing for an important interview? Has it been a while since you did one, and you’re feeling rusty? Not sure about the best way to answer certain questions? Set up a 50-minute appointment to run through an interview simulation tailored to your job target, and get feedback and tips you can use right away.
Cost: $150/50 minute session, $200 for last-minute mock interviews.
Resume Updating
Does your resume still look like it did 15 years ago? Is it getting you the interviews you want? It may need to be modernized. If it has an objective on top, or if you mostly talk about job duties and don’t explain your accomplishments, we should have a talk. Together we create a document that makes the most of your work history.
Cost: Starting at $200. Please contact me for a quote on your particular document needs.
LinkedIn Basics
There’s no better tool for staying in touch with your network, or for getting noticed by recruiters in many professions. Simply put, if you’re not on there, you probably should be. Let me help you get up and running. I can help you get a profile up so you can take advantage of all LinkedIn has to offer. If you already have a profile, we can discuss ways to use it for networking and research. I especially love teaching clients ways to mine it for new companies to target in your job hunt.
Cost: $120 per 50 minute session.
