Navigating the Job Search with Confidence: My HR Consulting Services, plus my own interview snafu!

Over the course of my 40+ year career, I've had the privilege of reviewing tens of thousands of resumes, sitting across from countless candidates, and making hiring decisions in both the public and private sectors. From HR professional to hiring manager to selecting official, I've seen every side of the hiring table, including being the candidate—and now, I use that experience to help my clients approach their job search with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

Job Interview

Whether you're a displaced government employee seeking your next mission-driven role, a mid-level executive transitioning into leadership, an accountant navigating the private sector, an attorney exploring new opportunities, or you're preparing for your very first interview, my HR consulting services are designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward.

Ideal Job Interview

What I Offer

Working with me is an interactive, hands-on process. I don’t believe in generic advice or one-size-fits-all coaching. Together, we dig deep into every step of the job search and interview process:

• Dream Job Clarity Tool One of the most powerful tools I created, is a guided process that helps you get crystal clear on what your ideal job really looks like. This session is often a turning point for my clients.

  Here’s what they’ve shared:

  • “I never really knew what I truly needed in a job.”

  • “This session changed my entire trajectory of what I am looking for in a career"

  • “For the first time, I feel I'm in the driver’s seat.”

• Resume vs. Job Announcement Analysis We compare your resume line-by-line against the job you're applying for, ensuring your skills and accomplishments align with the employer’s priorities and language.

• Company Research Strategy I teach you how to really read a company’s website—looking for values, culture clues, leadership style, and insights that will help you tailor your approach and ask the right questions during the interview.

• Overcoming Limiting Beliefs Many clients come in thinking they’re not “enough”—not qualified enough, not confident enough, not ready enough. We unpack those stories and rebuild your narrative so that you show up as the expert you are.

• Interview Preparation From behavioral interview practice to reviewing likely questions and answers, I help you prepare with intention and precision—whether you're meeting with HR or the CEO.

• Post-Interview Debrief and Strategy After the interview, we review what went well, what didn’t, and how to engage with the next steps—whether it’s follow-up correspondence or preparing for the next round.

• On-Demand Support Life doesn’t always run on a schedule. My clients know they can reach out via text for last-minute pep talks, clarification, or feedback in between sessions.

Who I Work With

My clients span industries and experience levels—nonprofit leaders, higher education professionals, scientists, attorneys, accountants, and early-career candidates. Some come to me just for interview prep. Others stay on for deeper coaching work around mindset and identity, especially when transitioning to a new career chapter.

How It Works

Most clients work with me over the course of several weeks or months. A typical engagement might include 1–6 sessions, each lasting 30 to 60 minutes, with text check-ins as necessary. You’ll leave each session with specific assignments and reflections—we’re building momentum together, and your effort between sessions matters.

This is not just about getting the job. It’s about getting the right job—and stepping into it with clarity, alignment, and confidence.

P.S. Want to hear something funny? A few years ago, I was prepping for an interview and—despite having over 40 years of experience hiring and coaching others through this exact process—I somehow ended up deep in a rabbit hole of YouTube videos made by enthusiastic 20-somethings giving interview tips. 😅

Next thing I knew, I was second-guessing everything I already knew. I forgot my own strategies and got in my head. It happens to ALL of us!

That moment was humbling—and honestly, hilarious. But it was also a wake-up call.

I took a breath, reminded myself of what actually matters, and coached myself the way I would any client:

✔️ Ground in your own story.

✔️ Lead with clarity and authenticity.

✔️ Trust what you know.
