Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! It’s a totally free 15 minute video call. I’m happy to talk and help you figure out if my services are a good fit for your needs.

  • I’m happy to work with anyone who wants to build a career that is balanced, values-driven, and supports both their personal and professional goals.

    I specialize in working with young adults ages 18-25 looking to land entry level positions, but if you are not in that age range or are more experienced than that, you’re still welcome to reach out!

  • Ultimately, I want you to get whatever help is best suited to your needs. If that’s not me, that’s ok! I don’t claim to be a senior HR professional or recruiter with 20 years of experience. Those people are GREAT at what they do.

    But here’s the thing - sometimes, people who are used to being An Adult in the workforce forget what it’s like to be at the very beginning of that journey.

    If you’re a young person trying to navigate your career, you need someone who understands what you are going through now, in today’s market.

    I’ve gained a lot of experience since I started working in 2017, but the beginning of my career was recent enough that I still remember all those initial struggles, and I know what the job market is like for young people today - not 20 years ago.

    I know how disheartening it feels, applying to job after job with a fully customized resume and cover letter, only to get ghosted by a potential employer or find out the job isn’t even open anymore.

    I know how time-consuming and intimidating job interviews can be, especially when they’ve got a million rounds and homework tasks and you’re not sure if you’re doing well or being sucked into a job scam.

    I know you’re probably overwhelmed and stressed, you’re already working so hard, and you’re tired of hearing the same outdated tips that don’t take into account your actual situation.

    You deserve career support that acknowledges all the barriers you’re facing and is designed to support you as a whole person, not just a worker.

    Together, I can help you create a career strategy that is sustainable, balanced, and aligned with your goals.

    If that sounds like a good fit - or if you’re not sure, and you just want to chat - let’s talk!

  • Listen, if you have access to free career services and have found someone you really click with, that’s fantastic! Send your career counselor an email telling them how much you appreciate them. As someone who has worked in education and knows how tough it can be, I know they would appreciate a compliment from a happy client.

    But here’s the thing.

    Maybe you aren’t in college and don't have access to career services.

    Maybe you do have access to those services, but their availability doesn't work for your schedule.

    Or maybe you just don't vibe with the specific people or offerings they have.

    All of those are totally valid reasons to seek other options.

    And that's where I come in! I'm here to fill in the gaps.

    If you still aren't sure if we'd be a good fit, just reach out!

    Worst case, I'll do what I can to help you find a resource that works for you.

  • Not yet! I'd like to in the future, but for now, my offerings are focused on individual services. There are tons of great resources out there that you can check out if you want to DIY your career skills. I recommend you watch some videos by these lovely people on YouTube:

    Recommended video: Write a Cover Letter in SECONDS with Chat GPT

    This video is a great quick tutorial on using ChatGPT to START a cover letter. But please know that you should NEVER just use ChatGPT and leave its output as is. You HAVE to edit the output to sound more human. Some employers are really sensitive to AI-sounding language and may reject you outright if they think you used AI to write your cover letter. So PLEASE only use this is a starting point and make lots of edits to make it sound human!

  • An informational interview is where you ask me any questions you have about my experiences in work or life.

    I do these for free! They’re 15 minutes long and via video call. I can share what has worked for me and any lessons or advice I have.

    You can do more than one call if you don’t get all your questions answered the first time or you think of more.

    If you want individually tailored support for your own career, like resume help or career goal setting, I encourage you to check out my paid services.

  • I like to think so. I was born in 1998, so you might consider me a Zillennial. And that’s ok.

    I do rock a side part and the occasional skinny jeans. I absolutely had my 2010s emo era. I am not hip with all the lingo these days.

    But I know what we’re dealing with right now as the youngest generation in the workforce. I’ve been the baby in the office. I’ve seen how different work culture can look between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers. I know what we’re up against.

    Whether you consider me Gen Z or not, I understand your unique struggles, and I’m here to support you through them.
