Job Search Coaching
I am pleased to offer a variety of services for the active job seeker, including:
-
Resume, cover letter, and other document reviews: These document reviews focus on both content and formatting. When I provide feedback, I balance making changes to your documents myself as well as providing prompts for you to make further changes. This approach means that you not only get a revised resume and cover letter, but also gain and practice the skills to write strong job search documents in the future as well.
-
Interview preparation: I offer both interview coaching and mock interviews. In interview coaching, we’ll strategize how to answer common interview questions and practice those answers. Mock interviews are like a dress rehearsal for the interview where we’ll practice a full set of interview questions and discuss what you did well and where you can improve at the end of the session.
-
Offer negotiation: You’ve got the offer, now how do you make sure it’s the best? With offer negotiation coaching, we’ll cover how to review a job offer, how to ask for time to evaluate and compare offers, and how to make your asks during the negotiation process.
-
Coaching packages: We’ll cover all of the above in a set of sessions tailored to your needs. For more details, visit the pricing and packages page.

Resume Review Testimonial
Kyle workshopped my resume in detail, providing thoughtful, helpful, and unique critiques. He has also provided me with guidance in navigating interviews, negotiations, and other challenges. With Kyle at my side, the seemingly insurmountable challenges of a job search feel much more manageable. I appreciate his one-of-a-kind and individualized approach, and would recommend him highly to anyone that needs help navigating job search and career challenges.

Career Exploration Coaching
One of my favorite services is to work with individuals who are deciding what they’d like to pursue next. Exploring career options includes activities that help you learn more about yourself and learn more about the options out there.
In addition to facilitating activities and coaching you through career research and networking, I coach effective decision-making so that you can feel confident as you move forward on your path. A series of career exploration appointments may include:
-
Interest and personality assessments: Learn more about what motivates you and what makes you tick. By increasing your self-knowledge, you’ll be able to set your career compass with better precision and chart a career path that sparks joy and feels meaningful to you.
-
Networking strategies: The best way to learn about career options and open doors to pursue those options is by talking to people already working in the field. We’ll go over common networking strategies, how to optimize LinkedIn and other social networking platforms, and how to reach out to contacts for an informational interview. If you’re shy or introverted, no worries! We’ll take it step-by-step and set manageable goals that you can confidently build from.
-
Information gathering for exploration: In addition to learning from the people already doing the work you’re interested in, we’ll cover other ways you can gather information about career fields, industries, and specific roles. By increasing this options knowledge, you’ll be better equipped to make informed decisions about how to pursue your new career path.

Why work with me as your career coach?
I am an award-winning career coach and Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP) with over 10 years of coaching experience, working with job seekers and clients of diverse ages and career goals.
My approach to coaching is educational, in that my primary goal is to support you in gaining and practicing skills you can draw upon throughout your career, not only in your current job search. When I work with you I will not just proofread your resume, but I will explain the “why” behind the “what” and prompt you with the questions that employers and hiring managers would ask.
My focus on education means that I will help you understand how the process works so that you can succeed. By strategizing and targeting your job search and applications, you will practice new habits of success that you can return to throughout your professional life. My ultimate goal as a coach is to help you feel confident in making informed, intentional choices in all areas of your career development.
I have completed the industry-standard Facilitating Career Development training as well as the Career Coaching Intensive training offered by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). I have also been formally trained in the Career Construction Interview exploration technique and can offer this service for clients interested in an in-depth exploration of any decision they are making or crossroads they are facing in their career. I am an active member of the National Career Development Association (NCDA), and I continually sharpen my skills by attending conferences and trainings on current issues in career coaching and reading up on trends in business, employment, and labor.
I emphasize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and social justice throughout my work, and my efforts in these areas has been recognized with a Diversity Initiative Award from the Colorado Career Development Association in 2022.
