Reviews
I worked with Addy on dissecting a job description that I was interested in but was ambiguous. She pushed me to clearly articulate what excited me about the role. We also discussed questions I could ask the hiring manager to ensure this role, although ambiguous, was the right fit for me. Happy to report that I made it through interviews, was presented a final offer, and accepted! The process with Addy helped me dig deep and evaluate the role to ensure it was a fit for me/my goals (growth, leadership style alignment, a step towards longer term career goals) that I was gravitating towards and not merely change. Thanks Addy!

Addy helped me prepare my story for interviews in a new field where I did not have deep expertise but needed to speak to transferable skills. I headed into these interviews with a clear narrative and "why" I wanted to make this pivot. After meeting with the hiring manager I made it to the second round and received praise for many of my answers. I did not get the role BUT I left the interviews feeling confident for the next opportunity rather than defeated. Thanks Addy!

I cannot recommend Addy enough. She is a wealth of knowledge, she is poised, and a true mentor. I worked with her a few times now. After each session I gained a bit more clarity on my career direction and confidence as I headed into interviews. We've worked together mostly on interview prep, reading job descriptions, and polishing my career story. She also has been a great person to ask for general career advice, career direction guidance, navigating career relationships, and has pushed me to keep an open mind to open up more opportunities for myself. I cannot thank her enough.

Adeline was such an amazing help with helping me rethink the narrative on my “spotty” resume and help me feel more confident during interviews. We worked together to figure out how to approach the next steps in my career and what I should prioritize. Thanks to her guidance, I feel much more confident!

Adeline was so helpful while I prepared for an interview. She was good at reviewing my work history, finding a common theme, and crafting a story about my experience. I would highly recommend her!
