Career & Positioning

Your next career move may need more than a better résumé.

You may be weighing up a different role, trying to translate your background for a new market, or wondering why your experience is not yet coming through clearly.

Before changing the document, get clear on the job it needs to do.

Start with what is unclear

The useful question is not always ‘What should I fix?’

Sometimes the immediate issue is direction. Sometimes it is how your background is being read in the market you are moving towards. Sometimes the direction is clear, but the way your experience is being communicated is not doing its job yet.

I am still working out where I am trying to go.

You may know that something needs to change, without yet being clear on the role, environment, or career move that makes sense.

I can see the opportunity, but I am unsure how my background translates there.

Your experience may be strong, but you are not yet sure what a new employer, sector, or hiring manager needs to be able to see in it.

My direction is broadly clear, but my résumé is not yet communicating it well.

You may know the opportunity you are aiming for and want expert guidance to make the most useful changes yourself.

Two ways to get direct support

Choose the conversation that fits the problem you have now.

Both are 60-minute one-to-one sessions at A$280. They are not steps in a sequence. The useful choice depends on whether you need to clarify the direction and positioning first, or apply a direction that is already clear enough.

Career Positioning Strategy Session

Best when

You need to think through direction, how your experience is currently being interpreted, how your background translates into the market you are aiming for, or what needs to become clearer before you change your materials.

What the conversation is for

A focused conversation about the situation you are in now. You will leave with practical next steps to strengthen alignment with the opportunities you are pursuing.

Not the right reason to choose it

It is not a résumé-writing service, and it is not a commitment to an ongoing coaching package.

Resume Implementation Session

Best when

Your direction is broadly clear and you want expert guidance applying the Resume Reset framework to your own résumé.

What the conversation is for

A focused session to help you see how your experience is currently coming across, identify the most important changes, and create a clear practical plan for improving the résumé yourself.

Not the right reason to choose it

It is not a résumé-writing service, and it is not the right first choice if the bigger question is still where you are going or how your background fits the market.

Still not sure which conversation fits? You do not need to choose today. Return to the question above, make one useful observation, and come back when the current issue is clearer.

You do not need to book anything today.

If the problem is clearer than it was when you arrived, the page has done something useful. You might decide that your next move is to keep thinking, make one change yourself, talk it through with someone you trust, or return when a particular opportunity makes the need more immediate.

Keep the question in mind: what opportunity are you aiming for, and what does it need to be able to see?

A client experience

Kathy helped me understand my market value and gave me the confidence to negotiate my starting salary. I secured an offer $12,000 a year higher than the original one.

The useful shift was clearer value and a more deliberate response to the situation. Individual outcomes will differ.

Your current problem may sit somewhere else.

If the issue that feels most immediate is an interview, a workplace conversation, or a leadership decision, you can start from a different current problem. You can also return later with a different need.
