Whether you're trying to discover your passion & the direction you want to go, make an industry or career transition, be more strategic in your job search or are feeling a little stagnant or lost, I'm here to help with it all, because I've experienced it all. Just as life has seasons, so do careers, and sometimes it can all feel a bit overwhelming to navigate it.

Prior to my time in recruiting I worked in sales & PR. My approach & philosophy is simple: let's get to the core of who you are, what is important and meaningful to you and create a plan to move you forward into the direction that best fits you!

Adeline has been incredibly valuable in helping me in discussions with my manager regarding a compensation raise and practicing my interviewing skills for other companies. She genuinely seeks to understand your situation and empowers you with the things you've accomplished and alleviating any intimidation associated with navigating the job market. The mock interviews were particularly helpful, replicating real scenarios and providing actionable feedback. She also shared strategies for highlighting my strengths and experiences in a compelling way. Overall, our sessions have exceeded my expectations and left me feeling confident and prepared for my future endeavors.

Adeline was SO HELPFUL! She provided considerable insight when it came to networking and job searching in general that I plan to rely heavily on going forward. She was so knowledgeable and compassionate, and went above and beyond to help me in my search for my next role. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing guidance in their career path!

Adeline (Addy) was recommended to me from a fellow colleague and it was one of the best referrals. She is genuinely invested in your career, experiences and what you want to achieve - and helps articulate the best suggestions for next course of action. I have booked multiple sessions with her, and they always feel like progressions vs repeats of same conversations. Highly recommend!

I came to Adeline with lots of questions and a hope to focus my efforts on a constructive strategy for job searching as I transition to copywriting and marketing. She gave me context for my search, suggested strategies, and showed me how to use them. It was hands-on and focused, and I felt understood and supported throughout the session. I highly recommend Adeline for a consultation!

Adeline is great to work with! She is authentic in her delivery and is knowledgable in the areas of recruiting and what makes for a great resume. During our sessions she was generous with her time and provided great feedback on ways for me to update my resume and LinkedIn. Working with Addy has given me a huge boost in confidence to re-enter the workforce after a few years hiatus. Would highly recommend reaching out to her!
