Sometimes, it’s time to pivot
I know how overwhelming it is to be transitioning out of a career path that you’ve spent so many years dedicating yourself to.
I also know there are LOTS of career coaches out there. This isn’t where you’re going to find months-long programs or courses priced in the multi-thousands.
My m/o is concrete, actionable steps that you can implement immediately and see results now, for a reasonable price. If you want quick, easy, actionable, effective feedback, I’ve got you. I know time and money are both scarce, and I want to make this process as easy and affordable for you as possible.
What you’ll get
I will not give you wishy-washy advice that ignores the reality of what it is to be an academic or a job applicant right now. The market’s tough and things are hard. This is a fact.
However, there are also concrete steps you can take to give yourself an advantage.
What you’ll get from me is:
- Multiple years of experience supporting people like you: academics transitioning into industry
- Clear, actionable advice on document revision
- Knowledge, so you can go forward with your next application without booking an appointment
A lot of us have had no experience applying for work outside the world of academia, or we were never trained in how applying for work actually works. We apply for industry positions we know we can do in our sleep, but hear crickets.
You’re not hearing nothing because you’re not qualified. It’s because you don’t know how to speak the language.
Remember what it was like learning the academic lingo? The difference between an assistant and associate professor? Industry job applications are the same. In order to demonstrate what we can do, we need to be legible to hiring managers. So that means no niche vocabulary, and no long-winded qualifications, and definitely no resumes over one page. That’s where I can help.
