My approach
Having gone through and supported others through multiple job hunts, I focus on three pillars that yield results:
Systems
Track progress and stay motivated
There are so many job boards, job listings, potential roles and people to talk to - how do you keep track of it all and how do you know if you're making progress?
I help jobhunters set up effective systems: from sourcing jobs, tracking progress, planning outreach and designing career experiments - so they can focus on the conversations that really matter.
Conversations
Build network and update your plan
Talk to people working in your target roles, companies and industries. Not only does this open doors, you may also change your mind about what you're really looking for.
I help jobhunters find the right people and ask the right questions, using multiple channels: from LinkedIn outreach, podcasts and industry slack groups, to mentorship programs and professional volunteering.
Experiments
Test job ideas before taking the leap
You think you know what jobs you want, but you've never actually done them. How might you do quick, cheap tests and get certainty about which's actually a good fit?
I help jobhunters brainstorm and design experiments to test their career hypotheses, using informational interviews, job shadowing, "returnships", fellowships and gigs.
Success Stories
I've helped some great people connect with impactful jobs and launch exciting new careers.
