So you’re ready for a courageous career transition but haven’t applied for something new (or updated your résumé!) in years. It’s possible you were recently laid off and are back on the job hunt unexpectedly. Maybe your heart is telling you it’s time to get back in the game, or a new adventure is calling your name, but you’re stumped on how to communicate your experiences to show your stellar and applicable qualifications fully.
I’ve been there, and I’m here to help.
Let’s ensure your résumé
by
making it…
-
The most important thing to show off to recruiters on a résumé is the how behind your work, not just what you did or, (gasp) include a list of responsibilities from your most recent job description.
Hiring managers want to see results! And most recruiters take less than 10 seconds to review a résumé when it comes across their desk.
Your bullets will be written in a “thoughtfully concise” way to show off your data-driven impact and how you will positively accelerate teams while getting straight to the point.
-
Due to the sheer number of people looking for new gigs, computer software called Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are gatekeeping most roles and keeping viable applicants out. This means a human may not be the first to review your résumé!
Get around the firewall with a résumé designed and optimized to speak the same language as the positions you’re looking to land. Sailing past these robots will get you more face time with the real people making the decisions, and nope, ChatGPT content is not included.
-
Your résumé is your ultimate marketing piece and should highlight your accomplishments clearly so recruiters and hiring managers can easily follow your career story.
We’ll say buh-bye to the Microsoft Word template you nabbed from your college career center and swap it for a tight, fresh executive template that will sell you at first glance.
-
LinkedIn is where it all begins for most recruiters — we’re talking 87% of ‘em! Ensuring your profile content is complete, well-written, and includes industry-specific keywords is essential to optimizing your profile for search.
When it comes to LinkedIn’s design, however, this is not the only piece of the puzzle. You’ll receive an in-depth, personalized report on how your profile is performing within LinkedIn’s algorithm, including the most important ways to interact with the platform and get noticed.
"Nicole’s strong understanding of developing a résumé that hits all of the intended targets is astounding.
I wouldn’t have even know where to start. My new résumé 100% allowed me to get face time with a recruiter which then gave me the opportunity to go through the interview process. I’m thrilled to say I was offered an incredible new position. I would recommend Nicole 1000x over."

Together, we will enhance your clarity, focus, and confidence.
Clarity Coaching
Get crystal clear on what kind of role you want to target next through a series of clarifying conversations. Being clear on your target role, industry, and goals will ensure your résumé is as effective as possible and you’re set up for job search success. We’ll also discuss your current career situation, obstacles you’re encountering in landing a new job (or just figuring out what “next” actually looks like), and how we can overcome those opportunities together.
Interview Coaching
Interview Coaching will prepare you for conversations with recruiters and hiring managers by equipping you with engaging stories to address questions specifically and succinctly. You’ll receive in-the-moment feedback to build your confidence and experience your growth in real-time so you can go into any interview knowing your value proposition and exactly what you bring to the table.
LinkedIn Strategy Coaching
Want to get discovered by more recruiters and hiring managers while you sleep? That’s the beauty and value of having a strategically optimized and complete LinkedIn profile. As your virtual professional storefront, a well-thought-out LinkedIn profile works behind the scenes to boost the likelihood you’ll appear in search results and get you noticed by the right recruiters and hiring managers.

What Others Are Saying
“I'm an executive trying to move over to a new capability and Nicole had the experience to know this was a very good bet and the clarity and discipline to review my already jam-packed résumé. What came back? A total head-turner. I was downright shocked at how much it nailed the mark. Nicole's savvy about what shapes a compelling story in various career categories is crystal clear. Thanks!”
— Cheryl, Head of People
"Nicole is a true professional. In our first discovery session, she was patient and worked hard to thoroughly understand my background and career needs. Nicole completely improved how I present myself professionally. I’m extremely pleased with the final product, and my résumé looks like a work of art. I highly recommend her to anyone needing an update to their résumé or direction in career transitions."
— Zokwezo, Safety and Security Program Specialist
"I wanted to share with you what has never happened to me before when using LinkedIn. The minute you sent me back my résumé I did what you said... That very same week I had 2 companies reach out and interview me and one of them looks like it may be a great fit. I was averaging around 12-15 views on LinkedIn and now it's up to 292! This is insane!! Thank you for your help!"
