Career Coach
Why Work With Me?
Finding your next career opportunity isn’t about luck—it’s about having the right strategy, confidence, and support.
When you work with me, you gain more than a career coach. You gain a dedicated partner who is invested in your success from start to finish.
I Know What Hiring Managers Are Looking For
With years of recruiting experience and hundreds of successful placements, I understand what employers want and how to position you as the candidate they can’t ignore.
Personalized Coaching Is Never One-Size-Fits-All
Your career journey is unique. That’s why every coaching session is tailored to your goals, experience, strengths, and challenges. Together, we’ll develop a customized roadmap that gets results.
Modern Job Search Strategies That Work
Today’s job market requires more than sending out resumes. I’ll help you build a compelling personal brand, optimize your resume and LinkedIn profile, expand your network, prepare for interviews, and create a strategic job search plan that increases your opportunities.
Ready to take the leap and change your life?
Stay positive; the process can be slow, but good things take time. Not every application leads to an interview, and not every interview leads to a job. That’s okay. The right job is still coming.
Don’t settle for the first offer unless it checks all your must-have boxes. Otherwise, you might be back to searching in a few months. And don’t forget your worth. Write down your strengths—what makes you, you. Keep that list close. The right fit is out there.

Every coaching engagement is tailored to your goals. Select only the services you need—or combine them into a personalized experience designed to move you forward with clarity, confidence, and intention.

Executive Interview Coaching
Walk into your interview prepared, confident, and ready to lead the conversation.

You’ll leave with personalized feedback, actionable recommendations, and the confidence to perform at your highest level when it matters most.
This version positions you as a strategic career advisor rather than a résumé writer, creating a more premium coaching experience while justifying your hourly rate. It also uses language that appeals to professionals investing in career growth rather than simply purchasing career services.
PRIORITY BETWEEN SESSIONS
Billed in 30-minute increments
Career decisions don’t always happen during scheduled appointments. Stay connected with email and text support for questions, feedback, and guidance between coaching sessions.
Confidence That Gets You Hired
The biggest difference between getting an interview and getting the offer is confidence. I’ll help
you communicate your value, tell your career story effectively, and walk into every interview prepared and self-assured.
An Advocate for Every Job Seeker
I believe talent has no age, background, or limitations. Whether you’re an experienced
professional over 50, a recent graduate, changing careers, or re-entering the workforce, I’m committed to helping you overcome obstacles and achieve your career goals.
Proven Results
My clients have successfully secured positions across a wide range of industries because we focus on strategy, preparation, and authentic storytelling—not shortcuts.
Giving Back, Showing Up
I am a volunteer for the Mayor’s Disability Council and the Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
The San Francisco Mayor’s Disability Council (MDC) focuses on advising the city on disability issues and ensuring that all programs, services, and facilities are fully accessible and usable for all disabled San Franciscans.
My focus is volunteering for the Employment Committee. Ensuring all businesses are aware of Diversity and Inclusion hiring.
The council meets hybrid for six public meetings a year, with recent strategic focus including:
- ADA Grievance Modernization: Centralizing and expanding citywide ADA case tracking through the 311 system to improve transparency and resolution times.
- Business Accessibility: Collaborating with the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) to enhance accessibility compliance, train inspectors, and launch the “Beyond the Build” community education initiative.
- Cultural Space: Supporting the development of the city’s Disability Cultural Center to build community and provide collaborative spaces.
- Institutional Support: Working closely with the renamed Office on Disability and Accessibility (ODA) within the Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS) to implement these accessibility standards.
I also attend the San Francisco Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired monthly meetings. That keeps me on top of the latest tools and government issues for Blind and visually impaired people..

A fresh new look + this month’s career insight
A Fresh Look Can Change Everything | I just gave gethiredwithcindy.com a makeover, and it got me thinking about something every job seeker needs to hear. When’s the last time you looked at your own online presence with fresh eyes? Your LinkedIn profile. Your resume format. Even the way you talk about yourself in an interview. If it’s been more than a year or even three, it’s worth a second look.

Should You Accept a Contract Job or Keep Looking for Permanent Work? Short answer: in most cases, say yes to the contract.
How to Get a Referral When Nobody Responds to Your LinkedIn Messages
The advice to “just get a referral” makes it sound as if referrals are easy to obtain. In reality, many referral requests are ignored not because you’re unqualified, but because people are busy, hesitant to recommend someone they don’t know well, or simply receive too many requests.
Q2 is almost over. How should you approach your job search?
Mid-to-late Q2 May–June (quarter-end) is often a key hiring window before the summer slowdown begins. If you’re actively searching, here’s where to focus:
Apply now, not later… June can bring a hiring dip as teams shift attention to Q3 planning and decision-makers start taking vacations. Getting your applications in before late June can help you reach hiring managers while they’re still engaged.
