I recently sent a questionnaire to an executive client requesting her top five hard and top five soft skills. Interestingly, she named only soft skills.  As I built her résumé, I reviewed all of the materials she sent to work from, including a performance evaluation, previous résumé, essays, and more. I culled and identified several […]

You’ve almost certainly heard the saying, “Man plans, and God laughs.” True as that may be, I’m still someone who appreciates a plan. I like my time organized, and if something happens during the day that I didn’t account for, I’ll go back and update my calendar to document the change in my schedule for […]

Many years ago, I found myself in the position of running about a dozen units fulfilling similar roles. Most of them did well, but two of them were struggling and needed restructuring. So we sat down and made the hard decisions that involved reducing staff and reorienting the local organization. The changes we made weren’t […]

As coaches, we spend most of our days in one-on-one sessions. We hear a tip from a recruiter here. Read a valuable study there. But the work itself? It’s siloed. I’ve long craved a dedicated, trusted space to stop being an isolated practitioner and start operating as part of an elite interview intelligence collective. So tough […]

Career coaching and résumé writing have traditionally focused on tactics: keywords, formatting, workplace responsibilities and achievements, interview answers, and networking scripts. These matter. But anyone who has worked closely with job seekers knows a deeper truth – that two candidates with nearly identical credentials can experience wildly different job search outcomes. One lands a job […]

In the past couple of months, I have seen several job vacancy announcements cautioning against or forbidding the use of AI in résumé development and/or the job application. AI is a useful tool for developing résumés, LinkedIn profiles, and responses to application questions, such as mini-narratives; cover letters, salary negotiation letters, and more.

As a career coach, you’re used to helping clients make sense of uncertainty. Yet the current job market in 2026 continues to evolve in ways that can feel confusing for even the most experienced job seekers. Recent labor data and hiring trends reveal a market that’s stable but selective, where strategy matters more than ever. […]

Consider the “About” section. How natural for uninformed users (that’s most of them and nearly all of our clients) to think […]
